Shawl Lapel Tuxedos

If the old days of Frank Sinatra and the "Rat Pack" bring back visions of elegance and style, then shawl lapel tuxedos are for you. Though not as popular as in years past, the shawl lapel tuxedo is still considered by many to be the only formal wear option. Some popular shawl collar tuxedos are made by the respected formal wear designers Jean Yves, After Six, and Neil Allyn.
