              Black wool tailcoat with silk lapels and six covered black buttons with a check design, arranged in pairs of three on each side. The working cuffs each have three smaller covered buttons, while the back includes two buttons above a long vent, which incorporates a pocket within the left tail. The tailcoat is fully lined, with the front upper half and lapels lined in silk twill and the remaining body in a lighter black silk. The sleeves are lined in beige silk.

              The interior includes two jetted pockets, and the shoulder blade area is reinforced with cross-hatch stitching to provide a structured silhouette. The back is crafted from six shaped panels, creating a narrow, fitted cut.
