Vintage Yves Saint Laurent Wool Tuxedo Double Breasted Formal Suit XL
This vintage tuxedo features an officially licensed Yves Saint Laurent label and was retailed by Classy of Montreal, one of Canada's specialists in formalwear. Made in Canada from 100% wool, it reflects the refined proportions associated with Yves Saint Laurent's influence on men's evening wear during the late twentieth century.
The jacket is tailored in a sophisticated double-breasted six-button style with dramatic satin-faced peak lapels, satin-covered buttons, jetted pockets, and a fully lined interior. The matching formal trousers feature the traditional satin side stripe and a satin waistband, completing the classic black-tie look.
Dating to the 1980s, this tuxedo captures the strong shoulders and confident tailoring that defined formal menswear of the period while remaining classic for today's weddings, galas, orchestra performances, stage productions, and black-tie events.
The fabric label confirms the suit is 100% wool, offering both excellent drape and comfort. Its classic styling ensures it will never go out of fashion.

Condition
Very good condition. The tuxedo presents well - note that the tux was pinned back on my mannequin as it was too large, but will drape properly on the right size of body. The satin lapels, buttons, and trouser braid remain crisp and attractive. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
