Tuxes for out-of-town groomsmen

My fiance's groomsmen are scattered throughout the country (California, Connecticut, Tennessee, Washington DC).

We went to Joseph A. Banks & Men's Wearhouse to look for tuxes. We really like the convenience of MW, but don't love the selection. Does anyone know of another (good) national tuxedo chain? I'm also posting this in vendors helping brides. Thanks.

Our best man lives out of state. I asked a local tux place what to do and they said stores would do a 'courtesy' measurement near where they live, so you can pick any place you want.

Thanks so much! We anticipate that the guys will fly in early the day before, possibly two days before. We want to make sure that there's time to try the tuxes on before the wedding and make last minute adjustments if necessary.

We used mens warehouse. I didn't think the selection was bad, it's just a tux, the differences are so subtle. We had no issues with them.

This....

I am using De Re tuxedo's which is actually it's own warehouse and has all of the suites right there. You could pick up a tux that day if need be. My dad and little brother are out of town, and bestman, so they will be calling in their measurements, and will be able to go the day before to pick it up. And they have a very big selection.

MW did not have the correct color to match my BM dresses so they were out. Their colors really match whatever is at david's bridal
