We make renting EASY! With our growing inventory of store owned tuxedos you can try on the size you will need. Tuxedo pants can often vary in size and fit compared to suit pants. We have many sizes in stock and are still acquiring more so you can see what fits you best.

Key Points about how a Tuxedo fits:

1. ​Size- Short, Regular, or Tall
2. Fit- Classic/Regular, Modern, Slim or Skinny
3. Rise- how much room you have in the crotch. Usually the rise is 12” for a Regular fit. This is good for men with a husky build or thicker thighs. Classic fit also has pleats on the front waistband to allow more room for bigger thighs.. A Slim fit tux will have a shorter rise maybe 10” or less depending on the cut), and typically a flat front (no pleats)
4. Waistband- Classic Tuxedos have clips & sliders so you can adjust up to 3”. This type of pant usually sits around the belly button because the sliders are also part of the front pocket and will buckle (not lay correctly) should it sit below the belly. Others can be let out or taken in typically between 2” at the back center seam
5. Hem- The bottom of the pant that sits on your shoe- usually adjustable by the tailor to fit your length

Other key Features
​Lapels- the front flaps on the jacket above the buttons There are 3 types:

1. Notch- most popular
2. Shawl- slice round curve
3. Peak- small peak is modern, larger peaks were popular in the 70s​

​
How is a Tuxedo different than a Suit?
There are a few key features to notice

1. ​Lapels- made of Satin for a shiny look
2. Welted pockets- the thin line of fabric above the front pockets are also satin
3. Buttons - covered buttons in satin usually and have a shank on the back that is sewn onto the sleeve. The # of buttons can vary
4. ​Pants- waistband—Slider buckles to adjust waist
5. Outer seam- 1/2-1” satin stripe from waistband to hem, sometimes a very thin strip of satin

Shirts

1. Pin tuck stitching- on front create style
2. Buttons- removable black studs can be inserted in button holes if desired, or use regular buttons already on shirt
3. Collars- 3 Types: 1) Wing Tip- usually worn with a bow tie, 2) Lay Down- like regular dress shirts- Regular tie or bow tie, 3) Mandarin.

Some tuxedo shirts actually have Convertible cuffs- regular cuff shirts with button holes on both sides to insert cufflinks (& a button for normal wear)
