Measurements and Fit
How do I get fitted for my rental?

1. Tell us the size you need.
2. Get measured by a tailor or at a reputable men’s shop.
3. Measure yourself at home.

Learn more about getting measured.
What is the deadline for submitting my measurements?
We ask that you have your measurements submitted at the time of your online reservation. To make measurement changes after that date, please contact our customer service team.
How do I know my suit will fit?

Our team of expert tailors and fit specialists review each order. Nothing beats firsthand experience.

Your order will arrive 3 to 5 days before your event, which gives you plenty of time to try it on and make sure it fits. If for some reason it doesn't, check out our Fit Guarantee.

What happens if my rental doesn't fit?

Try on your tuxedo within 24 hours of delivery. If for some reason your order doesn't fit, our Fit Guarantee has you covered. Here are your options:

1. For only sleeve and pant length alterations, you may have a local tailor or dry cleaner adjust the sleeve or pant length. Be sure to give the tailor this instruction sheet , and email us a copy or drop the receipt in your return box. We will refund your account up to $15 (see our Customer Rental Agreement). Important note: make sure to specify to the person performing the alteration that extra fabric is not to be cut or removed!

2. For sizing issues concerning the jacket shoulders/body, pant waist/seat, shirt neck/body, and vests we will send you another item. You may return all items to us after your event. For requests received after 24 hours of delivery, additional shipping charges may apply.

What sizes do you carry?
Jacket sizes range from sizes 34-66 for men and 3 to 18 for juniors, while pant waists range from sizes 28-54 for men and 18 to 26 for juniors. Shirt necks range from sizes 14-20.
Do your dress shirts accept cufflinks and button studs?
Yes. While our shirts do not have fold-down French cuffs, they may be used with cufflinks or the built-in buttons. Our shirts will also accept, but do not require, up to four button studs down the front placket.
What is distinctive about tuxedo pants?

Traditionally, tuxedo pants do not have belt loops, so our tuxedo pants have subtle waist adjusters that can tighten by about 2”. They do not have the ability to expand the waist beyond the marked size. The same applies to our non-tuxedo (suit) pants.

If you would like to wear suspenders, please ensure they have clips, or just rent a pair from us. Our pants do not come with suspender buttons, but we will allow you to add suspender buttons to the inside of the pant waistband after receiving your order. However, we ask that the pants not be permanently altered in any other way.

If you are experiencing major wrinkle issues after hanging your tuxedo, please contact our customer service team for assistance.
Who is responsible for the cleaning?
We take care of all the dry cleaning and we use only modern, eco-friendly processes.
What happens if I damage or lose the rental?
