1) How early in advance should we register for tuxedos for our wedding?
We recommend coming in as soon as possible. The best deals on tuxedos are always early in the calendar year (January thru March.) Remember, April and May is our "prom season". Often weddings choose to avoid coming in to register at this most busy, hectic time. Couples on an average register for tuxedos 2 to 4 months before their wedding. You want to leave enough time for everyone in the party to be measured. Members of the party should be fitted 4 to 6 weeks prior to the event.

2) What's in?
Black tuxedos are still by far the most popular color for jacket and pants. The latest styles include 4 and 5 button jackets, collarless coats, and jackets that are longer in length (either 3/4 or to the knee). Full back vests are the norm now for weddings and proms. Windsor ties, instead of bow ties, have also become very fashionable. Weddings are also choosing to keep their accessories (vest and ties) very neutral. The groom and the ring bearer often wear a white vest, the groomsmen often go with a grey/silver color, and the fathers often wear a charcoal grey or a black vest. The current trend is to pick a vest that will compliment the color of the girls¥ dresses, but not necessarily match them. We have also seen a decline over the years in tail tuxedos, double breasted tuxedos and the mandarin collar shirt with the button cover.

3) If we have out of town men in our party, how do they go about getting fitted?
All tuxedo stores have customers that are coming from out of town. We all understand that customers need to be fitted for other places. Just let your out of town guests know that they need to go to their local tuxedo shop and ask for out of town measurements. Most stores will not mind at all, if you ask nicely, and call ahead to find out a non-busy time.

4) When do we come in for our final fitting?
We recommend coming in on Thursday evening (the Thursday right before the wedding) for all wedding party members that are in town. The out of town members should come in as soon as they arrive. As long as the tuxedo is tried on 24 hours in advance to the event, corrections and alterations can be made.

5) What sizes do you carry?
Our rental sizes run from a boy's 3 to man's 76 long in jacket sizes. We also have baby tuxedos available for sale in sizes 3 months to 3T (they are absolutely adorable!)

6) What specials do you have for weddings?
We recommend either going to our website for this information or calling the store. The specials do change throughout the year with the best deals occurring January through March.
