Use this place any time you can. Amazing customer service and epic selection? Did you know they also provide suits to other rental companies? Cray. That suit you're looking at on the mannequin in the other rental shop is probably going to be provided by this place. Skip the middle man.
They also tailor to fit!
Last time I picked up a suit from Selix, that was a bit long in the inseam, they told me that they could order me another pant and pick it up in a day... O_o
Always use Tuxedo Fashions.... even if the name is kinda cheeky. -

Came here last week with my Fiance because of it's awesome reviews. Was a bit skeptical at first as we drove by the store since it looked so small from the outside and nothing else around it.
The lady who helped us had some generic questions and measured my Fiance to get his size. Although the lady who helped us was helpful, she didn't seem too enthusiastic about her job (maybe a bad day?). Then came Israel, who seemed really knowledgeable and upbeat. I told him I was looking for a very specific tie color and I swear he must've went to the back room 3x to try to find a color that matches it the most. He gave us about 5 different options,on how to get the perfect color, even though he didnt have it in store at the time. What was more important though, he didn't really try to SELL us the product but he seemed genuinely interested in finding something for us. Awesome customer service.
I'm not sure if we'll be buying a suit from Tuxedo Fashions since they dont have the exact suit and tie color I want (our requirements are really specific), but I'd do business with them any day! -

I was a bit skeptical when I noticed this place had 5 stars as an overall rating. After meeting with Bart and his colleagues, I now can vouch for the 5 stars and all of the past reviews.
My fiance and I came here to get his and his groomsmen's suit this past weekend, and the only reason why we came here was because of the service my fiance had received in the past. When I first entered the store, I noticed the cleanliness of the store and the elegant displays. I also noticed there was only 1 person helping a couple on the floor, and thought we might have to wait a little longer for help. The store is small, so I just assumed they didn't have a lot of employees. I was wrong. In a few minutes upon arrival, Bart, came out right away and assisted us the whole time. Whenever a new customer stepped inside, one of the associates would step out and assist. This became apparent many times within the hour that we were there.
Bart was extremely helpful in making our experience very comfortable, and it was the first time a salesperson didn't have to push me to get things I didn't need. After we left the store, he emailed me right away to personally thanked us for our business and also to confirm some other information.
I highly recommend Tuxedo Fashions, and if you do get a chance to step inside this store, please ask for Bart. I don't know about other tuxedo rental stores and how they do business, but this one has a very personal touch to them. Great customer service, low key ambiance, big selection of tuxedos and a helpful staff! -

My fiance and I came here last weekend and were amazed by the presentation inside. The outside exterior was so so.. but do not judge this book by it's cover!
I made an appointment with Bart and he assisted us right away. We had tons of questions and with no hesitation, he answered them all and gave us a lot of suggestions too. He was patient and did not rush us to sign any papers until we were comfortable. Even the papers we signed had no contracts or money down requirements.
We will definitely keep in touch with Bart and Tuxedo Fashions once our wedding date gets closer. -

Rented a suit from here for my sisters wedding about a year back, and also stopped by to rent a vest for a suit I just bought from Macy's for a New Years Eve ball I just went to this past weekend. Both times I've had awesome service and their rentals have been a great fit for me. When I walked in this past weekend, two of the employees were busy with customers, so they called someone out from the back to help me out. Bart was very helpful and made it easy for me to decide what I needed. I'll make sure to come here first for all my suit rental needs.

lets me put it this way. I rented a tuxedo for a wedding at the Men's Warehouse that the groom choose. When I picked up the tux, I was extremely upset. The pants was sooooooooooo baggy and pleaded that I had to call Tuxedo Fashion to rent a pair of pants ( I rented from them before, there tux was slimming). They attended me quickly and I was satisfied with the pants that they rented me. Thank you guys for coming to the rescue. Oh BTW, every groomsmen had some kind of issue with there men warehouse tux too. One even had big stains on his sleeve collar and blazer. Never again
PS
The whole staff was awesome. And there tuxedos where cheaper and better quality. -

If you're willing to shell out a little more than you would at Men's Wearhouse, do it here. For the wedding day, we were looking for more modern fits and this place has a variety of suits and tuxes that met our wants.
For a tux with a shirt, jacket, pants, cummerbund, bow tie, and shoes, it'll cost you about $140. If you return it after your designated date, it'll be $20 per day.
What we did was go in a couple months before the wedding to choose the type of tux we wanted for the groom, groomsmen, and my dad. Then we scheduled a couple other dates for people to come in for fittings. Typically they need everyone to be fitted at least 2 weeks before the event date but because 100% of our groomsmen were from out of town, they let us come in a little closer to the date.
I've never rented a tux anywhere else but I've seen enough baggy tux pants at weddings to know that there are better pants out there!Listed in: Big day things

To be honest, the location might be perceived as a bit sketch - a neighborhood-y part of San Jose right off San Carlos and Meridian. There are only a handful of parking spots available at the front, so be advised that parking around the corner (next to a small bodega) might be required.
But with that said, once you step inside, all doubts are eradicated. The products and service are EXCELLENT. I was looking for a tuxedo for myself and 4 others - and one dude was out-of-country. No problems whatsoever. We browsed their diverse selection, found the "look" we wanted, and got measured up. Quickly, efficiently, accurately, and with a smile.
The prices are competitive with other tux-vendors but again, the quality of the goods and the people at the front and behind-the-scenes are what truly differentiates Tuxedo Fashions from the rest. A couple days before the "big day", my group returned to the store for final fittings and pick-up. My pants were a bit short. No problem - fixed immediately. Actually, would it be problematic if I changed the style of pants? Again, no problem at all - they provided exactly what I wanted.
I guess that's the most important thing. Tuxedo Fashions put their clients' needs at the forefront, above and beyond all things else. Kudos to the entire staff for an excellent job! -

Reserved 4 suit jackets and pants ($95) here for a wedding. We were able to email Bart the measurements of all 4 guys and thus, he reserved 4 grey suits.
When it was the day before the wedding to pick up the suits, the groom tried on his suit and I noticed grey stripes on the pants. I did not pick a suit with stripes and actually had a picture of the plain grey suit I did want on my iPod touch so I showed it to Bart.
He didn't seem too happy that a mistake was made, but he did have 4 suits without stripes on hand and in several hours, had all the suits tailored for the guys. Unfortunately we did not receive any type of discount for this mistake, which would have been nice.
The suits themselves were clean and nice. They didn't smell and it looked great on the guys as well as in the pictures.
Also, the morning we came to pick up the suits, there were so many people in the store to pick up as well. There was no organized way for the girls to help the customers in an orderly fashion and it was quite disorganized. They should have a better system to help customers when it is busy.Listed in: Weded Bliss

Bart is the sweetest man alive.
I'm willing to pay a lil more for service and quality. Altho with Bart, I don't have to. Prices are crazy competitive and you won't find a man who cares more about the suit than the dude wearing it
Would never go anywhere else. -

We made an appointment with Bart to choose tuxedos for our upcoming wedding.
We sort of had an idea of what we wanted, but he really helped us "define" what would be the best fit for us.
He is so knowledgeable not just with their huge inventory, but about what cut and style would best fit your body type and what is in style. Before going in, I didn't realize all the choices available. I thought a tux is a tux. You pick the color and you're done! Bart very patiently had my fiancé try on a few different looks so we can see which we liked best and explained the why and why not of each.
What really impressed me was when we were choosing the shoes, he told us that he has worn all of them and could tell us, based on real experience, which one would be the most comfortable. Now that is customer service!
Bart is professional, knowledgeable, and overall, very good at what he does. For something as important as your wedding attire that lives in pictures for years to come, I would not hesitate to trust Bart in helping you look your best!
The rest of the staff at Tuxedo Fashions was also very friendly and professional. -

When choosing the tuxes for my wedding I wanted something a little unique, and Tuxedo Fashions provided just that at a great price with awesome customer service.
My wife and I went to Mens Wearhouse and were unimpressed by their selection and enthusiasm. We went to TF afterwards and Kyle was eager and informative. They have a huge selection and it's all on the property, so I got to try on several different tuxes that day to make sure we had the perfect one for the wedding.
I had to get measurements from people out of town and was worried that they had a disadvantage to Mens Wearhouse who had locations there, but they guided me through the process of getting measurements and everything fit very well on my groomsmen first try. Bart was great to work with and is very quick in responding to my emails.
I can't recommend this place enough, go there if you need a suit or tux rental! -

My quest to procure a suit for my wedding had just one condition: I was not going to set foot in Men's Wearhouse! Fortunately, I didn't have to. When my fiancee and I stepped through the door, we were helped by Janet. She listened to my preferences, made recommendations, took measurements, had me try on a few styles, and within minutes I was transformed from a Joe Average schlub into a new man. My fiancee's eyes were tearing up when she saw how good I looked. I felt like Ron Burgundy without the mustache. So anyway, when I came back to pick up my suit, it needed a minor alteration to the sleeves. The two gentlemen helping me had the sleeves tailored right there in literally five minutes - my jacket reappeared, it fit, I looked great in it, I was good to go! Definitely recommend Tuxedo Fashions to anyone looking for a great-looking suit or tux. These guys will take care of you.

We LOVE Bart! He is so awesome to work with. If I had more stars to give out, I would.
We first knew about Tuxedo Fashions because my husband was a groomsmen in a wedding a few months before our wedding. Based on his first experience, he liked the fact that the tux was clean, affordable and no hassle when it came to returning it. So, we decided to go with them for our wedding party, and we are so glad we did.
First, Bart is amazing. He met with my husband and his groomsmen on numerous occasions and let them try everything and anything in the store so that the could choose a style that they were most comfortable with. After trying on all of the suits (literally), they thought they finally found one. Everyone got measured and we were all set to go for the wedding...until I changed my mind. About three weeks before the wedding, my husband and I decided to go with a more traditional tuxedo and contacted Bart. He was so understanding and said it was no problem and to just drop by. He spent more time with my husband and found the perfect tuxedo for him to wear on our wedding day. But wait, it gets better.
Half of our wedding party were out of town groomsmen, and I am happy to say that each tuxedo perfectly fit all of them. They definitely looked sharp and polished for the wedding, even though they didn't try on the tuxedo before. Thanks to Bart's coordination, all the men had their measurements done in their respective locations and faxed them in to Bart so that he could make sure a few sizes were available for each groomsmen.
I am writing this review because it is businesses like Tuxedo Fashions, and people like Bart, who deserve a lot of recognition and support from the community. This experience was a second bite at the apple for us, and Tuxedo Fashions will definitely see us as repeat customers in the future! Thanks BART! -

Kyle did a great job helping my groomsmen and I get our tuxes. He was very knowledgeable and helped my fiance and I get the look we wanted while still maintaining a budget for everyone. They were not pushy at all about trying to up sale you like certain chain stores would. They were super cool when one of my groomsmen lost a cuff link and they didn't charge us for it. We mentioned we were referred here by my mother in law and they threw in an extra shirt rental at no charge

I was originally weary at how a business could possibly have a 5 star rating. I now know. Bart and Israel were amazing. I needed to rent my cousin a suit for a same day funeral. I called first thing in the morning, came in, and they had us out of there in less than 30 mins with suit on my cousin's body. The website seemed a bit dated but the store was lovely. The suits were of current fashions and the shop keepers were so so nice. Definitely a yelp success!!

Kyle did an awesome job again!
My husband and his brother went to pick up their suits for the wedding. My husband's brother (Willy) lives in Beijing, so we had provided Kyle with his measurements to reserve a suit for him. I'm glad that Tuxedo Fashions asks you to try on your suit before you leave (that's one of their bonuses) - it turns out that whoever measured Willy in Beijing got his measurements wrong. No problem for Tuxedo Fashions! They went and altered the length of the pant and Willy was out of there in 15 mintues.
It's awesome that they have a warehouse of suits - that way, if something is wrong - they can just go in the back and grab you a new one. They're also willing to alter the rental to get the right fit.
This place is awesome, kicks Men's Warehouse in the behind. No other reason to go anywhere else.Listed in: The Wedding List

Looking for a tuxedo/suit or just want to come in to get great customer service for just about anything? Well then you've come to the right place!!
Kyle (Dear) from Tuxedo Fashions is the best to work with (although I havent worked with anyone else) but Kyle was there to help me from the day I walked in to the day I came to pickup my tux for the wedding.
We first started and came to see Kyle when my fiancee and I were looking for a tux for my groomsmen and I. He was very helpful and eager to give his advice on what he thought looked nice/modern. We were looking for a slim fitting tux (not the baggy brian boitano fits of the 80s) and he accomodated us to a perfect choice.
Tux fashions has a lot of styles to offer ranging from old school to modern slim fitting/slim tie GQ look.
Kyle was there to help all the way from first fitting to second fitting to third haha (yeah i'm picky) and he gave great opinions on what thought would look nice.
Everyone on my wedding day complimented on the style/fit and color of my tux and i was thoroughly satisfied. If i was to ever rent a tux, I would not think of going anywhere else. Forget mens warehouse or other places (i've rented from a few others and they are overpriced and not as helpful).
I even got my tux free since i had 6 of my groomsmen rent from there as well.
Thanks again Kyle and Tuxedo fashions.. you guys were awesome and made my wedding experience much more smooth.
If i could give 10 stars I would!

My husband needed a tux for my sister's wedding so went here as I had heard so much about them. We are old fashioned at heart and love the Victorian era so we went with that style. Wow did he look dashing!
They really work with each individual to find that perfect fit and I can't thank them enough! Some people even said with his long hair (my husband has very long hair) he looked like we were really back in the Victorian era. The wedding was fun and although we were not over dressed and didn't take away from the bride and groom we did have a unique look and got many compliments!
If you really want your husband to look good then don't go anywhere else but here!

Israel hooked up my husband, our dads and all the groomsmen when we needed rental suits and shoes for our wedding! Aside from being great at what he does, he gave us a fantastic deal and we knew from our first meeting with him that everything was going to work out with Tuxedo Fashions - and it did!
If my guy needs a tux or nice suit in the future, I'm sure he'll definitely rent one here. If Israel is helping you, you're in good hands.
Note: They will also custom make a suit to your measurements for you to buy, if that's something you're looking for.Listed in: The Wedding List, OMG ROTD FTW!

This place was the one I used for my wedding 9 years ago... this was after search to several places, including Mens Wearhouse which have extremely limited selection for wedding tux at least back then.
Tuxedo Fashion has by far the most selection among any other places, even more so than Eli Thomas (which has the second most selections among places I visited in bay area).
Keep up the good work! -
Review from Elaine N.

Yee, this place is awesome!
I brought two guys here for tuxedo rentals: my date and a friend. The people working here were really helpful and gave a lot of suggestions. Unfortunately, my dress was a chocolate brown, and they didn't have anything to match that. Poo. They got something rented out anyways.
My date ended up canceling his rental and they took $10 off his deposit (which was $20). We ended up buying the parts instead, since it'd be cheaper (plus, we found him a really cool tie!). My friend went back to change his tux about a week before prom and it was hassle-free! It did take awhile because there was a huge family of 10 in there that needed to get fitted, but it's just the price of good business. Haha. We were actually worried about having problems, but everything went smoothly.
The really tall guy (I forgot his name) is really nice and really funny! He'll remember your face and make jokes about you.
There's also a really wide selection of colors and styles. A lot more than Formal Headquarters (or so I've heard). It's also a little bit cheaper. You can get a tux rental here for about $80 (with shoes), as opposed to $100 at Formal Headquarters. Order your tuxedo within a week. Pick it up the day before you need it and return it the day after (no cleaning fee). Voila~
Plus, there's a really good burger place down the street. Woot! -

These guys rock! They made my groomsmen look good and that ain't no easy task. But seriously Bart at tuxedo fashions took great care to ensure all of our tuxedos were perfect. They were even able to make last minute adjustments. Everything was ready on time and prices were fair. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my formal wear needs.

This place is great. It's a tiny little shop but they have a pretty good selection! I found what I need for my mens tuxes immediately, and got everything taken care of in like 20 minutes. It was the most painless experience in all of my wedding planning.
With the suit rental, it came with a shirt, tie, and shoes. I didn't use the ties, because they weren't that cute, but it was nice to have that option. I ended up buying the ties online, and giving them to my groomsmen as a gift, as suggested by the guy at this Tuxedo shop. He's a nice guy by the way. :)
Also my friends used them for their wedding, and were pretty pleased as well. -

I came to this store not knowing a single thing about wedding fashion.
Kyle made my life easy by choosing everything I needed.
He was very knowledgeable about the latest trends and knew exactly what style complimented my body type the best
When I picked up my tux, the men working there would not let me leave without making sure everything looked and fit perfect!
The only downside was that I was getting so many compliments on my tux, that I almost out-shined my bride! (jk wifey!) -

Tuxedo Fashions is the best place to find your next tuxedo. Their selection is amazing, their prices are perfect, and most importantly, their service is outstanding. Talk about a company that really cares for their customers and is in tune with what is in your best interest. Bart and staff were fabulous to work with and I definitely recommend them to ANYONE looking for that perfect tuxedo!!!!

This is "THE" - all caps- place to get your tux.
It might be out of your way, but well worth the drive.
This place supplies most of the other places in the Bay Area. Usually you go into a shop, look at a book, pick something out and wait until it comes in like the day before the event before you get a real look at it.
Not here...
These guys have everything on hand, and I mean everything. Every style, every size.....
Ismael runs the joint and is the coolest!!!!

They have a great selection, and even if you require a look that they don' t have displayed or if you don't see it in one of their catalogues, they can special order it for you. Chris is the sweetest, and he really took care of my husband and his groomsmen when we were scrambling to get them tuxes just a COUPLE of weeks right before the wedding. I'm talking TWO weeks before!
BG's right, they have every size, style, and shoe in stock for your tux renting needs. Their prices are really reasonable. A really, "get in, get what you need, and leave happy" kinda business. -
Review from Alex H.

These reviews will not mislead you, and I almost feel like in no way am I contributing anything by posting here, but I feel this place deserves the review considering the amazing service I received.
The exterior of the store itself seems rather deceiving considering that it looks extremely tiny from the outside, but you'll be pleased to learn that they have somewhere in the neighborhood of 7,000 square feet of storage in the "back room" for their surplus of 10,000 tuxedo outfits.
The price you pay is very reasonable considering the quality of service that you can expect to get from here. I did not catch the name of the person who helped me, but he knew what he was talking about and he was very easy to communicate with; your standard traits of a good sales clerk.
The overall selection is excellent (considering that they supply a large percentage of the local tuxedo stores). I was slightly disappointed by the fact that they did not have a large selection of narrow ties, or tight fitting dinner jackets, but nonetheless, the care they take in measuring compensates for this insignificant lack.
Tuxedo Fashions of California is a fine Tuxedo Rental store and I am sure that I will be back for future occasions; Highly recommended. -

Tuxedo Fashions goes above and beyond for thier customers and this is why I feel like they have an awesome rating on Yelp. Let me tell you all a little story of something bad that happened with Tuxedo Fashions but then how the manager Israel made it right.
I had used this place a couple times before and have always had a good customer experience with them so I expected no different. I was leaving San Jose at noon on a Friday to beat traffic to get to a rehearsal dinner for a wedding in Fresno, (oh yeah and if you haven't been to Fresno well it's a sh*t hole) but that's off topic back to the story. I was told my suit I was renting would be ready by noon at the latest so I was extremely upset and pretty disappointed after being told by the girl who was working there that my suit had not arrived from the Dry Cleaners yet. She even called the dry cleaners and the dry cleaners had no idea where the suit was. I couldn't wait any longer and had to get on the road to beat Friday traffic to get to Fresno on time for the rehearsal dinner. I was pissed that I had to go home first and grab an old raggedy assed suit that I had somewhere in my closet.
Now I know what your saying, why didn't you just get a replacement suit on site? Well the answer is I am a man of the portly stature and I wear big and tall sizes so they don't always have my size on hand, that's why.
Anyways I was on the road to Fresno and my dad called me and said that Israel (one of the managers there) called him (had his number on file from us renting before) and wanted to know what hotel I was staying at. I remember I was mad and I told my dad to tell Tuxedo Fashions to forget about it and not worry about it but I gave him the hotel name and the street it was on. My dad called the the shop back and gave Israel the information.
So there I am Friday night in Fresno at the rehearsal dinner enjoying myself and then I go to bed, zzzzzzzzzzzz nice happy dreams, then I get woken up at 7AM on Saturday and it's the hotel and they have my suit from Tuxedo Fashions. Yeah you did read that right, Israel had my suit shipped with like ultra mega fast shipping all the way from San Jose, CA to Fresno, CA in less than 24 hours. I still don't know how he did it but I think it's cause he is super human. Anyways I looked amazing in my suit at the wedding and had a great time plus got lots of compliments on my suit as well.
When I returned my suit I saw Israel and thanked him and he was so humble and apologetic and said "I had to make it right" well since I work in a customer service field I know first hand good customer service is hard to find now a days and he went above and beyond. Everytime I go in there and see him we joke about it from time to time.
Also from going there for lots of different occasions I got to know another employee there named Bart. Bart is awesome as well and very knowledgeable and always gives good advice. Also regardless of the occasion be it wedding, party, or funeral, Bart and Israel are always appropriate in behaivor. Good times like weddings and parties they are funny, converstational and keep you entertained. In bad times like funerals they are very empathetic and sincere in helping you when you're going through a difficult time.
So this Yelp review is to let the public know if you're thinking of renting a suit or tuxedo for any occasion then Tuxedo Fashions is the place to go.
I have been going to this place for years and will continue to be a loyal customer. -

This was the 5th [at least] tuxedo shop we went to in the past month. After the first 3 (Men's Warehouse, Selix and another in a mall), this hands down had the best selection and latest styles. Chris Brown had a no-pressure sales approach, knew what he was talking about (stocks thousands of suits in the warehouse on site), and offered us the best deal - We wanted 7 rentals and the cost came to less that $80 per! MW and other places quote me at $100-$150 per - and that is AFTER a discount, if any for the same tux.
Additional Pros: Since they have just about everything on stock, you can try on just about anything. Chris was very patient and upfront - always a plus in my book.
Cons: It's not a chain, so this is the only one and was a bit far for us and our groomsmen to travel. It's location was kinda jenky, but don't judge a book by its cover - at least there's convenient streat parking!
We could've save an extra $80 going here, but it was just too far for everyone in our party... Otherwise, i thought the reviews are spot on and wasn't disappointed with the selection and service received.
(NOTE: i went in mid May, admist busy Prom Season and even though there were people coming in and going out, I never felt rush and got 1st rate attention and service (there was 4 of us). -

Seriously?! seriously. not one bad review?! thats pretty impressive. well, i'm not going to change that or the truth for that matter.
in the past week, my fiance and i visited this store. like everyone else, we were fools and already went to men's wearhouse and such to look for tuxedos. there needs to be a big old sign next to the "welcome to san jose" sign that says "if you need tuxedos, just go to tuxedo fashions".
when we first arrived, we met this tall caucasian male in his 50s(?) come out to the counter. my fiance asked the straight Qs:
-do you offer ones with "X" number of buttons
-what fabrics
-what colors
-what is final price per tuxedo
-what does each tuxedo include
at first, the man helping us was not much of a salesman. maybe my fiance's questions were to the point. there was no smiling involved with any of us until my fiance was pleased with the answers and told the man that we wanted to rent tuxedos from them. of course. then the salesman smiled. hahahha. maybe he was having a tough day? i dunno.
the prices are seriously the cheapest that we've seen. so far, bargaining techniques are pointless. its clear that this place gets a whole bunch of asians trying to bargain like crazy.
alterations are on the spot.
they have all the freaking sizes for everything. no shipping/ordering/waiting. its awesome.
we set up our order and the salesman gave us some great useful tips and such.
so at first, the salesman was a little scary to me. but now, my fiance LOVES him ("i love this place. i like that guy alot") and things are awesome.Listed in: San Jose area Wedding Vendors

Yes REALLY!!!! These guys have nothing but good reviews. Why? Let me tell you about my experience:
I'm a "large" guy. They were able to find a tux for me with no problems. They made me feel really comfortable, and the experience was very pleasant; lots of joking, laughing, and I ended up with exactly what I wanted.
Fast forward 6 months later, and I'm back again for my best friend's wedding. I didn't even bother to check anywhere else. I wanted another Tux, but they were watching out for me. They told me that no one else was wearing one. They suggested a really nice dark blue suit. I honestly look good in it =)
When my Fiance and I finally get married; I will go back to these guys. No question about it. -

I came with my boyfriend to rent a tux here for Prom. The sales clerk was super friendly, and really knew his stuff. They have mannequins wearing the tuxes they have, and you can just point at one, ask ANY question about it, and he's got the answer.
Brent was really happy about the fit. He was afraid that since he's tall and skinny, he'd look awkward. But the pants fit him perfectly - they weren't baggy or weird. They also had a great selection of colors for vests and ties, so he got to match me. :]
I was a little worried when we came to return the tux because we'd lost the cuff links. The clerk was really cool about it, and he said "Well, that's why there's a deposit." So we got $15 from the $20 deposit, and he said if we find the cuff links, we get our five bucks back. Sweet! -

Came here after being disappointed by the terrible Men's Wearhouse's selection for my Wedding tux and gear for my Groomsmen. Kyle's service was fantastic and made sure my experience there was as trouble free as possible. Highly recommended!

The customer service at Tuxedo Fashions is hands down the best customer service I've ever experienced. My fiance and I had a meeting with Kyle and he was sooooo incredibly friendly, upbeat, and honest. He helped us determine what was the best color and style for the groomsmen tuxes/suits and spent a lot of time with us dressing up the mannequin with different colors and styles. Tuxedo Fashions is great that they have all their tuxes right in the store. We were able to see in person (not some dinky binder) the colors, fabric, and patterns--and let me say, they have such a huge selection!
Kyle was also very intent in making sure that the set fit well and shared with us that the store does alterations so that everyone will have a great fit. Lastly, the price is great and extremely reasonable---and again, their customer service is sooo amazing. They beat Men's Wearhouse by a zillion points.
