What is
Lapel?

The folded front of the jacket below the collar. Notch for daywear, peak for assertion, shawl for evening.

Short answer

The folded front of the jacket below the collar. Notch for daywear, peak for assertion, shawl for evening.

In bespoke, lapel is not a style preference but a decision made with your tailor — recorded in your Fit Passport so the next commission starts from the same understanding. Ask about it at your fitting; the honest answer includes whether it serves your line or is merely tradition.
