Pleated Tuxedo Front
Description
This tuxedo shirt placket is distinguished by its finely pleated fabric folds on the front, adding texture and a sophisticated touch. Its bold and elegant design pairs well with both classic black tuxedos and more extravagant formal ensembles. Like the plain tuxedo front, it features replaceable top buttons, allowing for the use of tuxedo studs to enhance its refined appearance.
