At Mario Moyano, you decide every element: from the final fabric to the coordination of accessories, including cut, finishes, and complete shirt customization. Model FRAV002 is designed to give you maximum flexibility in your made-to-measure suit, ensuring a precise fit and a result that reflects your unique personality.

🎩 What is a tailcoat and why choose it for your Victorian wedding?

The tailcoat is the most formal garment in men's clothing, characterized by its iconic fishtail at the back (short in front, long in back), which provides an unmatched dramatic and ceremonial silhouette. It is traditional for maximum etiquette events such as state weddings, royal ceremonies or nighttime gala events. Unlike the morning suit (100 cm with rounded tails) or the frock coat (90 cm without pleats), the tailcoat has a more impactful and theatrical silhouette, perfect for grooms seeking to make a difference with a look of maximum distinction. At Mario Moyano, our tailcoat is crafted using updated pattern-making techniques that respect Victorian tradition but provide a modern and comfortable fit.

In the reference image, this groom tailcoat is presented with 6 covered buttons and peak lapel (with option of satin lapel), coordinated with a straight 5-button waistcoat with V-lapel in pure black silk jacquard with purple floral designs, grey satin ascot neck tie, purple lurex satin pocket square matching the waistcoat, pearl design tie pin, white shirt with opera collar, double cuff for cufflinks and hidden ceremony placket, metallic skull design cufflinks with crystal eyes, metallic waistcoat chain with fine purple-tone rhinestones, elastic black suspenders, black leather or patent leather lace-up shoes, black wood cane with claw design metal knob and inlaid carved crystal stone and black short-hair top hat. Each piece is constructed using updated pattern-making techniques and strict quality control. The result is a groom suit with impeccable drape, comfort throughout the day and a coordination of details that sets you apart.

✨ Customize your Victorian groom tailcoat: you decide every detail

Customization is at the center of our process. With model FRAV002 as your starting point, you configure:

• Base fabric: Classic black, or choose another tone from our premium selection according to your preference.
• Buttons: 6 covered buttons on the jacket and 5 on the waistcoat, with option to customize the button type.
• Lapel type: Peak lapel (as in the model) or satin lapel for a more formal and shiny touch.
• Closure style: This model features covered buttons, but you can opt for a double button with chain for a brooch effect, or frog closures for an authentic military tunic or historical jacket effect.
• Tailcoat cut: Modern tailored (slim fit), classic relaxed or extreme slim fit, adapted to your physique.
• Trouser customization: Adjustable hem width to your liking (standard 19 cm for size 43; classic options of 20-21 cm or slim/ankle-length style of 17-18 cm). Customizable front pleats (standard flat front, with option for 1 or 2 pleats). Waistband of your choice: classic with button and belt loops, or 5-7 cm versions without belt loops, featuring side or back buckles for a perfect fit without a belt.
• Ceremony shirt (opera collar recommended, with 7 customizable options):
  • Opera Collar (Wing/tailcoat): ⭐ Recommended for tailcoat. Rigid collar with points folded down, specifically designed to showcase an ascot or bow tie with the tailcoat. It is the classic and most elegant choice for this garment.
  • Italian Collar (Cutaway): Very open and short points towards the shoulders. Highly formal and elegant. Perfect to wear without a jacket. Requires wide knots like the Windsor.
  • French Collar (Spread): Intermediate points. The most versatile for office and formal events. Accepts any type of knot (Windsor, half-Windsor or American).
  • English Collar (Standard): Long, narrow and close points. Traditional and sober. Ideal for slimming round faces. Requires fine knots like the Four-in-Hand.
  • American Collar (Button-Down): With buttons at the ends to fix the points. The most informal and casual. Not recommended for ceremonies. Traditionally without a tie.
  • Penny/Club Collar (Round): Short and fully rounded points. Retro and vintage air. Complemented with a tie pin or small knots.
  • Mao Collar (Mandarin): Vertical strip without lapels. Informal, minimalist and summery. Forbidden to wear with a tie or bow tie.
• Cuff types: Square double cuff, rounded double cuff, or mixed simple cuff (with double hole for normal buttoning or cufflink style). In this model, the double cuff is recommended to showcase the skull cufflinks.
• Lining: Plain, fine stripe or paisley print, in matching or contrasting tones.
• Button type: Covered (like this model), metallic, plastic or mother-of-pearl.
• Waistcoat: Straight 5-button with V-lapel in pure black silk jacquard with purple florals, or customize the fabric, number of buttons and lapel type according to your style.
• Ascot: Grey satin ascot neck tie (included in the model), or choose another color to harmonize with the Victorian style.
• Recommended shoes:
  • Lace-up shoes in black leather or patent leather (the one in the reference photo).
  • Combined lace-up moccasins with leather or patent leather and the suit fabric itself.
