A Peak Lapel Tuxedo is the most popular formal wear and a proven winner throughout the decades. Here at Hockerty, you are guaranteed to find your best new favourite suit. Why? We make it just like you would like it to be. The peak lapel tailored Tuxedo combines perfect fit, with the classic elements of a black suit and upmost quality. You can easily add your favourite features to make your peak lapel suit truly unique. Each Custom Tuxedo is handcrafted and made to measure. Check out how we produce our tuxedo.
A peak lapel tuxedo features lapels that point upward and outward toward the shoulders, creating a bold V-shape that broadens the chest and commands attention. It is the most formal lapel style and the classic choice for black-tie events. Compared to a shawl lapel (rounded, smooth) or a notch lapel (standard suit style), peak lapels deliver the strongest visual impact.
Choose peak lapels when you want maximum presence — galas, award ceremonies, formal weddings, and high-profile events. Peak lapels work especially well on double-breasted tuxedos, where the upward-pointing lapels complement the wider chest structure. Shawl lapels offer a softer, more understated elegance — ideal for cocktail events or when you prefer a smoother silhouette. Both are equally formal; the difference is personality.
Peak lapels are one of the most universally flattering styles. The upward angle draws the eye outward, which broadens narrow shoulders and adds structure to slimmer frames. For larger builds, a slightly narrower peak lapel keeps the proportions balanced without losing the visual impact. Since every Hockerty tuxedo is made to your measurements, the lapel width and shape are proportioned specifically for your body.
Yes — and the satin is what makes a tuxedo a tuxedo. At Hockerty, you choose between satin-faced or grosgrain-finished lapels, and the same applies to your pocket trim and trouser stripe. You also control the lapel width, button style, pocket design, lining, and every other detail in the 3D configurator. The result is a custom peak lapel tuxedo that is uniquely yours.
A custom tuxedo at Hockerty starts from $360 — a fraction of what traditional tailors charge, and far better value than renting a generic tuxedo that does not fit properly. Your tuxedo is built to your exact measurements from premium fabrics, delivered within 21 days, and backed by the Perfect Fit Guarantee. You own it, you designed it, and you will wear it to every formal event for years to come.
