Eidos’ Killer Formal Wear at NMWA

No Man Walks Alone has taken to doing once-a-week new inventory drops (to everybody’s great relief), Friday’s at 1p.m. EDT. Two weeks ago saw the release of the first batch of Eidos goods (including that rust windowpane jacket as well as that linen gun club I wrote about the other day). As always you can get $50 off your first order from them when you create an account. Use my referral link and I’ll get a kickback from your purchase, too (always much appreciated).

Today sees the release of a small once-in-a-lifetime formalwear collection. As the final Antonio Ciongoli designed season of Eidos, it’s fitting to go out with a selection of what I consider the best, most attractively designed evening wear I’ve ever seen. That sounds like hyperbole, but I’m serious, from the lapels to the overall silhouettes of the jackets, everything is extremely well balanced and timeless, never veering into caricature.

The black dinner jackets:

The trousers are sold separately, and match both. They are here. 

The white double-breasted shawl lapel dinner jacket. I had a single breasted one of these last year briefly before returning it for lack of funds (I am sad about it to this day).

The matching trousers, if you want to make it a full white evening suit, are here.

There are two other Eidos products in today’s drop I wanted to highlight, too.

First is what looks like a fantastic navy suit made of mixed yarns to make for a normal-at-a-distance yet interesting-up-close texture. Not too boring, not too “out there.”

And the other thing are these gray linen-silk blend high-rise Sal trousers. Gray summer trousers are easy to come by in typical fabrics like tropical, worsted or even fresco wool, so I always appreciate the unique fabrics Antonio picks for his summer trousers.
