Story & heritage
Hart Schaffner Marx’s formalwear has a visible place in American public dress: Alliance for American Manufacturing notes that Barack Obama wore a tuxedo made by his hometown company to his 2009 inauguration.
The current New York Modern Fit tuxedo translates that formal heritage into HSM’s slimmer fit language. The official HSM fit guide describes New York Fit as modern, with a raised armhole, slimmer sleeve, waist suppression, shorter jacket and narrower shoulder.
Materials & craft
Dillard’s describes this two-piece tuxedo as made in the USA from imported fabrics. The New York version is a modern-fit, flat-front tuxedo; related Dillard’s HSM tuxedo descriptions call out one-button coat styling, inside utility pockets and satin notch-lapel formal details.
The garment stays within HSM’s tailoring vocabulary: structured jacket, clean trouser line and formal black or deep navy cloth rather than novelty eveningwear.
How to choose & style
Keep it black-tie orthodox: white formal shirt, black bow tie, patent or high-shine shoes. Navy works when the room allows a softer take; black is the safest ceremonial choice.
Because New York Fit is slimmer than Chicago Fit, prioritize shoulder and chest comfort before refining trouser break.
