What makes this parade jacket different from a regular tailcoat?

A parade jacket comes from the military ceremonial tradition, where ranks were made visible with braid on the chest, shoulder pieces and shiny buttons. A classic tailcoat is black and plain and does not have this decoration. Because the gold here runs in wide bands across the entire chest, the silhouette stands out from afar, which is useful if you are in a parade or on a stage. You can see the same look with a circus director, a ringmaster, a marquise and a nineteenth-century naval officer.

Hat, face paint and jewellery with the blue parade jacket

A black top hat or a bicorne completes the uniform look, and with a curled beard and a sabre, the same jacket can be turned into that of a pirate captain. If you want to go for an eighteenth-century look, choose a white lace jabot, white lace cuffs and a Venetian eye mask with a white powdered wig. Dark face paint around the eyes or a drawn-on curled moustache enhances the stage effect under bright lights. Black trousers, white gloves and a walking stick with a gold-coloured knob keep the attention on the blue and gold of the jacket.

Choose this blue slip jacket for men and you will immediately look like a master of ceremonies in the parade during carnival or at a gala.
