Xpost about Tuxes

Hi Ladies,
I'm finally starting to get a lot done, so sorry in advance about the tons of questions I'll be asking.

FH and I went to Dante Zeller today to look at tuxes. They will order 2 in FH's size and two different vest/tie combos to try on in a week. This is the only place we went to. I heard somewhere on here that Men's Wearhouse doesn't let you try on at all? Is that correct?

We need to use a big chain because we live in Brooklyn, and have family all over. Are those the only two large chains? Is it normal to only be able to try on two?

Thanks in advance,
shari

We went to Mens Wearhouse for the ties and vests, because we have the same situation as you where the entire bridal party is out of town. I dont think you can try them on, but they have large swatches of every color and pattern, and will measure the guys before ordering them.

FH was in a wedding last March and got tux from Dante Zeller. Very nice, but expensive. The wedding prior to that was from Men's Warehouse...He looked hot and the price was so reasonable. He tried on the tux.

Thank you! I didn't know that there was a price difference. I think we will check out MW.

We have 2 guys out of state and are using Tuxedo Park. All the guys need to do is get measured at a tux shop near them and call Tuxedo Park w/ the measurements (its a comon courtesy in the industry)

FH tried on everything ritght there at our first apt. They had everything in stock and FH is an odd size..very tall.
