Where are you reading tuxedo?! I can't see any description other than synthetic fibre...The DS Cosmetics knots are different. Some are good, some not so good.
As regards these "new" brushes there is a clue on YaQi's web page that calls these Tuxedo style. That leads one to believe that they just changed the color to drum up sales. Nice looking handles nonetheless.

Ahhh, I get ya!At least yesterday there was another brush with the pseudo badger look like one referred to by the OP that said Tuxedo.
And another official site calls that knot "Plisson":
YAQI Synthetic Shaving Brush BUNNY
Small, fun & easy to use shaving brush, great for travel or for the ladies. The Plisson, Tuxedo and Mew Brown are all lovely soft brushes, the Cashmere is a little more bristly. 19mm Synthetic Mew Brown Hair Knot Handle: Marpat Design Handle Material: Aluminium Brush Knot Diameter: 19mm Loft...www.yaqishaving.com
That's confusing. I guess I'll just refer to mine as ''Synthetic FIbre''.And another official site calls that knot "Plisson":

One thing is for sure and that is you don't have to shuck out a lot if cash to try these......unless you order from Australia.
I bought a Yaqi about a month ago, not quite the same knot ( to my untrained eye). Fantastic brush though!Yaqi have some new synths, what I presume are their G4 knots?
There's one with a marble handle,
And another one
Has anyone placed an order yet?
Used the Yaqi Bali Synthetic today. Beautiful looking brush and it feels nice in the hand. The glue bump is obscene though and makes this a very poor performer. It's going back.

Look at those beautifully moisturised hands though.
Inspirational.
Thanks for the info though. It's not surprising though, Yaqi have a track record with sending out brushes with huge glue bumps.
I'm fairly sure they make brushes for other companies who have some actual QC and I'd be more inclined to buy one of those if I was looking for a new synth.
