Want to buy a tuxedo

So FH and I went to try on tuxedo's this weekend....and he ended up deciding that he would rather buy one instead. Do any of you know where we should go? Saks? Bloomies? Any help would be appreciated.

What's your price point? Also, is he a tough body-type to fit?

I recommend Syms. There's one in Westbury, and a few in the City. FH got his there and he's a tough size to find (42 extra long). And the prices are pretty reasonable.

BlackTieGuy - he is a bit hard to fit, bc he wears a 42 long in suits...but the pants are usually too small so the suits that he has are usually bought as separates so that both top and bottom fit perfectly.

If he usually goes for separates, then I'd try brooks brothers and jos. a bank.

Unfortunately you just missed the big sale for brooks. At Bank, I would get the signature peak lapel. The cheaper model isn't that nice. HOWEVER, don't pay above $400 for the signature. Just check back every week until it goes on sale.

Where are you located? My dad and BIL bought their tuxes at Mur-Lee's in Lynbrook for my sisters wedding. They are great there, and have a really nice selection.

I am located in Brooklyn, but will probably end up purchasing our tuxedo in the city.
