The jacket is made from a rich black velvet base material. A defining feature is the intricate hand embroidery in a white or silver leaf pattern that adorns the shawl lapels and shoulders. It is a tailored-fit, single-button tuxedo jacket, often part of a set that includes matching pants, a white shirt, and a bow tie.

This type of formal wear is typically designed for events like receptions, cocktail parties, or weddings.
