Men's 1920s Great Gatsby Suit

For a men's 1920s Great Gatsby suit look that reads as costume rather than office wear, this tailcoat has a dovetail back and a faux two-layer front that imitates a waistcoat under a jacket. It is one of the most theatrical pieces in our 1920s mens clothing.

Tailcoat Construction and Colors for Your Suit

The front is cut short with a mock vest layer stitched in, while the back drops into two tails. Navy and black suit a formal Gatsby dinner, dark brown leans toward a 1920s country-house look, and red is made for stage, ringmaster or magician themes.

Completing the Gatsby Tailcoat Outfit

Wear it with dark trousers, a white wing-collar shirt and a bow tie. Add suspenders under the coat and a fedora or top hat for photos. Because the vest is built into the front, you do not need a separate waistcoat, which keeps the outfit quick to assemble.

Does it include trousers?

No, this listing is the tailcoat top only. Pair it with black or pinstripe dress pants.

Is it a costume or formalwear?

It is cut as a costume piece for parties, Halloween and stage; for a black-tie wedding we suggest one of our tailored three-piece suits.

How do I choose the size?

Use your chest measurement against the size chart; if you will wear a thick shirt underneath, take the next size up.
