Should my tuxedo match my date's dress?

You should always coordinate your attire and this can be done easily by making your accessories - the vest, cummerbund, tie, etc. - match your date's dress.

When should I order my tuxedo?

We recommend that you get measured for your tuxedo 3 weeks before prom so that the styles you select will be available. But, please note that we can outfit you in a tuxedo as late as the day before prom.

*Tip: Go ahead and pay-in-full for your tuxedo at the time of reservation, so that the pick-up process will be quicker.

When should I pick-up my tuxedo for prom?

Pick-up your tuxedo the day before prom so that you can try it on and make sure everything fits. This allows time for alterations if necessary.

*Tip: Also, when you are trying on your tuxedo in the dressing room, make sure you pick-up all your accessories when you are finished because you don't want to get home and discover that you left them in the dressing room.

When should I return my tuxedo?

Return your tuxedo the next store business day. See the store consultants for details on store hours.

*Tip: Make sure all of the pieces of the tuxedo are intact when returning the tuxedo so that you are not charged for them. Also, check the pockets and make sure all of your personal items have been removed.

What should I do if I discover that I have left something in my tuxedo?

Call Lost and Found at our Corporate Office immediately. The number is 713-791-1888 ext. 0.
