content: A black tuxedo vest designed by FUBU. The exterior of the vest is made of black synthetic satin weave with machine embroidery that reads [Fubu] in black thread. A stiffener is placed at the front of the vest in-between the exterior fabric and the lining. The vest closes at the center front with six round metal buttons covered in black satin. There are two welt pockets trimmed in plain black satin at each side of the jacket at the waistline. The edge of the vest ends with points by the center front opening. The back of the vest is made of black silk synthetic and is slightly shorter than the front. An adjustable strap made from black satin with two metal buckles is sewn across the back waist. The vest is lined in the same black satin synthetic used for the back. A size label is sewn at the interior proper left side seam near the bottom hem.
