Men's Speakeasy Outfit

This men's speakeasy outfit is a three-piece pinstripe suit in coffee, a very dark brown with a khaki cast, crossed by light chalk-style stripes. You get a single-breasted jacket, a single-breasted five-button vest and flat-front trousers, the base of a Prohibition look for a speakeasy party or a jazz night.

Why Coffee Brown Works for a Speakeasy Outfit

Brown suits were everyday wear in the 1920s, and a dark brown with pale stripes looks less like a costume than black does. It goes with cream or pale blue shirts, a rust or burgundy tie, and brown brogues or two-tone shoes. Top it with a brown felt fedora or a flat cap. The tie, shirt and pocket square in the photos are not included.

Sizing the Three-Piece Outfit

Sizes XS to 5XL follow US/UK jacket sizes 34 to 50, with jacket chest measurements from about 38 in (96 cm) to 50 in (128 cm), which leaves room over the body. Trouser waists go from about 30 in (77 cm) to 46 in (116 cm), and any tailor can hem the legs. A 6XL is offered above the 5XL on the chart. More men's pieces from the decade are in our 1920s mens clothing.

Speakeasy Outfit FAQ

What should a man wear to a speakeasy party?

A three-piece suit, a hat and a tie are the basics. Pinstripes point to the gangster side of the era; keep the shoes polished and the pocket square folded flat.

Can I wear the jacket open?

Yes. With the vest buttoned underneath, an open jacket still looks finished, and it is the easiest way to stay cool on a dance floor.

Is coffee closer to brown or green?

Brown: a very dark shade with a slight khaki cast in the photos, warmer than black and softer than charcoal.
