Short answer

Care for black tie & tuxedos depends on the chosen cloth and its care label. Ask the tailor for instructions for the exact garment; follow the label and avoid heat or cleaning methods it does not permit.

Black tie is worn rarely and rests long: brushed after wear, steamed never ironed, and stored in a breathable bag against the season.

Follow the care label for the chosen cloth and ask the tailor if the instructions are unclear. Storage, ironing, steaming and cleaning advice can vary by fibre and finish.

The itinerary is a proposal: months are planned, dates and venues confirmed individually. Final quotations are confirmed in writing before you commit.

Questions

Midnight blue or black for a dinner jacket?+

Midnight — it reads black in the room and blacker than black in photographs. It is the house default unless you ask otherwise.

Can you make black tie for warm climates?+

Yes — unlined or lightly canvassed constructions in silk-wool blends keep the line while surviving the heat.

Is a dress code conversation part of the fitting?+

Yes — tell the tailor the occasions: gala, opera, wedding. The formality level is built into the cut, not guessed.

When does Bonturberg visit Basel?+

Under the proposed 2027 programme, Basel is planned for June; dates and venues are confirmed individually as the window approaches.
