Mens Warehouse - need best location (pref nassau)

We went to Foresto's and Victor Talbots this weekend - loved Foresto's. I know with that shop we'll get extremely high quality and beautiful tuxedos.
Problem is, I've always pictured vests in Eggplant, Victorian Lilac and Silver/Grey WITH POCKETS!!! (we bought the groomsen pocket watches; and spent alot of $$ on them - so we want them to be worn properly).

Foresto's has only black vests with pockets; but he does have all 3 colors in ties. It just doesnt seem to pop as much as I'd like. FH doesnt mind and prefers this shop bc of their quality - perhaps i should just let this one go...but...

Just found that Mens Warehouse has them - but i was not going to check them out bc of the semi-negative reviews ive seen about them. I am worried about sacrificing quality - i dont want our suits to look worn and stained and scuffed. I know with Foresto's I wont have to worry about that - but they dont have these color options in vests.

Can anyone here recommend a GREAT Mens Warehouse location. Not just at the time of booking, but throughout the whole process? Is there one where perhaps their merchandise isn't as 'worn' as say, carle place (the shopping mecca of the world)?

thanks so much - really appreciate it!!!

Massapequa was big and had a lot to look at and very nice help there! we were also able to get two free suits and $40 off each tux for our groomsmen. FM if you need the code since they will ask you for it.

thanks so much! anyone else?
fiance only wants to check out one more location - he only has so much patience shopping. no pressure!!

i found it interesting that both forestos and victor talbots carried the same accessories. does anyone know if thats true across the board? will most mom & pop tuxedo places carry the same inventory?

Massapequa when we went to look had nothing to try on. You had to pick the suit from looking at the displays on the top of shelving. We were very turned off, how can you not have the opportunity to try something on?

actually - i stopped by one in the city on my lunch break. turns out the 'pockets' in their herringbone vests arent pockets at all - but slits that are sewn together. alot of good this is going to do me.

i think im going to book the black vests at forestos. *sigh*.

can you have a different patterned tie & vest? whats everyone's opinion on that?
and - could you have pocket squares if youre doing boutineers?

I think it's usually one or the other, because a boutonniere goes in the lapel notch which is on the same side of a jacket as the pocket.

If I had to choose one or the other, I'd do pocket squares
