Question Title Do all tuxedos have "satin lapels"?
One of the key characteristics of a tuxedo is satin treatments on the lapels.  If you remove the satin from the lapels, in essence you then have just a regular mens suit.
 
If you want to maintain the most "classic, traditional formal look," it is advised to have a tuxedo with "full satin lapels."  However, in today's fashion world you are seeing a trend of implementing partial satin lapel treatments into the design and styling.  For example, "framed satin lapels or trimmed satin lapels" are lapels where just the outer portion of the lapels are satin; "inset satin lapels" are lapels where just the inner portion of the lapels are satin.
 
So whether you are going with "full satin lapels" or "partial satin lapels", you can feel confident that you are still adhering to standard formal ettiquette with your selection.
