Evening tailoring has loosened up, and the COMMAS x Woodford Reserve edit is proof. At the centre sits The Host Tux, a relaxed take on the dinner jacket, cut from linen twill in a dune colourway. Every purchase comes with an exclusive offer on a bottle of Woodford Reserve. Buy the jacket, claim the offer, and host an evening in something worth remembering.

The Host Tux borrows the easy proportions and tie closure of the COMMAS robe and finishes them with a classic shawl lapel, so it reads as tailoring without the stiffness. Around it, the wider COMMAS range gives you the knitwear, shirting, shorts and swim to build a whole warm-weather wardrobe.
