Had a HORRIBLE time with the Black Tux and we didn't even get to the part where we actually rent from them!! My fiance wants to wear a red velvet suit jacket to his wedding, something the black tux has.... EXCEPT it is the most difficult jacket...
to get your hands on and see ever. Any bride knows that when it comes to colors for your wedding, the color in person does not always match the color online. With this red velvet, you cannot get a swatch, it is not offered on their claim to fame try it on at home, and it is not found in any of their stores (even if you call and speak to a representative who assures you it will be available to try on at your appointment). Drove over an hour and there was no dress and a very unhelpful attendant. Could not go through with ordering through them after the run around they gave us.

I wish I could give 0 stars. My husband and I weren’t impressed from the start but we wanted to trust the high rating here on The Knot and other places we looked at didn’t have what we wanted. We met with representatives from the Minnesota loc...
ation and in all of the wedding process I’d never been talked down to until going to Black Tux. When buying my wedding dress, picking our food, flowers, decorations etc every vendors attitude was “this is your vision for your special day, we will help you accomplish that the best we can.” When we met with Black Tux, the representatives gave us their opinions on “if it was my wedding I would do...” and when I said I wanted lilac bow ties for the groomsmen, they recommended something else. And when we said we wanted a white tie for the groom, he suggested purple instead. And when we said we wanted the dad’s to match with purple ties, he said “usually the bride’s dad matches her with a white tie and the groom’s dad matches the groom with a purple tie.” I’ve never heard that!! Also, who cares?? It’s our wedding, our vision, our money! Why should he care who wears what?? Then we wanted to place an order in January/February for our May wedding and he was like “we don’t usually recommend that in case someone loses or gains weight.” ................. my husband can eat 12 cupcakes and not gain a single pound. I think we will be fine. But no, he wouldn’t listen. We came back at least two more times and got the same attitude from all of the staff. They recommended we have a 5 hour (30 minutes for each person) “measuring party” for our 6 groomsmen, 2 dads, and groom..... over half of our wedding party lives out of town... who in their right mind recommends a FIVE HOUR measuring “party” where a bunch of men sit watching random tv in a mall when they could take their measurements at HOME and have their clothes shipped to them to try on?! Isn’t the whole point of this format to make things easy, online, and slick?? Also, while we were there, another gentleman came in and had a problem with his size. Instead of exchanging the wrong size that was shipped to him. He had to resend back the mistake, change the size in the portal, have a new option sent to him, mark the (intentional mistake), and then ship it back to get his right size... we and the other customer were just dumbfounded by the stupidity of the situation. Awful customer service. No professionalism. Condescending. And don’t have the right attitude about being in the wedding industry. I don’t know who you should use but don’t use Black Tux! Unless you want someone else’s opinions and to be wearing the wrong size.

We live in Chicago, but planned our wedding near our parents in Richmond, VA. A lot of my groomsmen were from up and down the East Coast so it was extremely convenient the Black Tux has multiple physical locations where you can get sized and t...
ry on tuxes (for those unable to make it in person, you can also just send in your measurements). I had two interactions with the Chicago location, the second of which is why we're only giving them 4 stars. On my first visit to The Black Tux, I was personally sized and tried on a variety of tux options making it easy to come up with our attire (I had a velvet shawl tux with my groomsmen in a more traditional shawl tux outfit). My now wife and I also enjoyed having the Tie Bar right next door making it easy to choose ties/pocket squares/etc. The second time, I had a group of my groomsmen come in while on our bachelor party weekend. The Black Tux was totally okay with us bringing drinks in making it a relaxed, social atmosphere. But, at least 2 of the 5 groomsmen's sizes were somehow lost in the mix when we called a month or two later to make sure everything was in order. When I discussed this with a Black Tux team member, they informed me that the particular employee working with us that day had since been fired. This definitely injected a lot of unnecessary stress at a critical time leading up to our wedding that I could have done without. At the end of the day, our experience immediately before our wedding made up for this. I believe 3-4 of the 8 of us had to have jackets resized. The new jackets were promptly shipped out with plenty of time ahead of the wedding. When this happens, you get to keep both items until after the wedding so in a way you get to choose which fits best (if you're on the fence) - just make sure you open the original items within 48 hours of receiving them so you have time for any changes. All in all, I would definitely recommend the Black Tux for anyone close to one of their stores.

I was a little hesitant about using an online tux service, but after seeing how nice the groomsmen looked at our friend's wedding, I knew I wanted to use The Black Tux for our wedding too! The process is super simple, the fit is fantastic, and ...
everything arrived on time! My (now) husband is not an easy fit (6'5, shorter arms, and has a bit of a belly) so I wasn't feeling confident that an online service was going to get this right. The first tux they sent had a lot of issues so we filled out the fit feedback form and listed out the things that needed to be adjusted. I was very impressed with the fit feedback form because it was very user-friendly, and you can provide as little or as much detail as you want. This was one of the main reasons I chose this service because I knew the guys could handle this process even if they didn't have a wife/girlfriend to help them. We sent back the pieces that needed to be adjusted, they sent us a new tux, and he looked fantastic! I was blown away by how well the tux fit him and the rest of the groomsmen! The only reason I'm giving this 4 out of 5 stars is due to the fabric- don't get me wrong, it looked great, but it felt just a tad cheap. Again, everyone looked fantastic, but I wish they had an option to upgrade to nicer fabric.

The Black Tux was the perfect choice for our groomsmen & ushers for the wedding! I asked each of our groomsmen & they all said 5/5 stars, easy process, and they'd order from them again. Great experience, highly recommend! The process was VERY ...
easy. My husband, being the groom, went online & added each groomsman/usher (so they'd receive emails/necessary information) & selected the suit he wanted them to order. They put in their sizing info & ordered, and the suit was sent directly to them. They have directions on how to measure yourself OR you can go into their on-site location (in Chicago) to get fitted. We had both situations & both worked out great. We actually ended up buying ties from The Tie Bar (attached to the physical location of the Black Tux in Chicago) as part of our gift to the groomsmen. One groomsman received the wrong size, and a simple call got him a new pair of pants mailed out within a day. He still received everything on time. Another groomsman was getting SUPER into the dancing & dropped it low at our reception...and ripped his pants! He was prepared to pay a fee when he let them know what happened & returned the suit, but they actually ended up giving him a DISCOUNT because they said they shouldn't have ripped so easily (and he had to change pants mid reception haha). Such a nice way to treat a customer! The suits looked fabulous & were great quality! More modern looking suits & better fitting than more traditional vendors...and for a better price. I think they each paid around $130-$150 (I don't remember exactly). The entire process was simple & our wedding party looked fantastic!

There was only a hiccup with my brother whose tux came way too small. Since delivery is before the wedding, The Black Tux remedied this super quickly and got him one that fit. We also had a hiccup with the mail getting lost returning the tuxes! Oh no! The Black Tux was very patient and helpful and eventually everything was returned.

measure you improperly, or give you the wrong size. The Black Tux was not only super easy to use, and dare I say, "idiot proof," but the customer service was great and the return procedure was very convenient. The quality of the shirts, tuxes and shoes were also very good and fairly priced. I didn't feel like my shirt was going to light on fire, since it was a thick, high-quality cotton shirt versus the flammable, polyester shirts that other rental shops give you. Also, when the customer service rep noticed an anomaly in my pant and jacket measurements (I have a wide waste and narrow shoulders...), he called me to offer a sizing suggestion and to confirm my sizes were indeed correct. Overall, the tux looked great on my buddy's big day, and I was extremely satisfied with my experience. I plan on using The Black Tux for my own wedding later this year.

The tuxes were a great quality and looked as fantastic in pictures as they did in person. Overall awesome value, look, and service!

ring stupid questions from me (the groom) to addressing any miss-sized articles with my less than tech-savvy pops, they were absolutely on point. Some of my groomsmen were unsure at first, but they were all big fans by the end of the experience. No less than 5 of my 8 groomsmen (most of whom are married and have dealt with other rental options) came up to me unprompted and told me how much better the quality of the gear was and how surprisingly easy the whole experience was. I can't recommend them enough.

ittle long, but they made it easy to take care of the problem. A quick visit to the FAQ portion of the site and I learned I could take the pants to be tailored at my local dry cleaner. Best of all, they reimbursed me for the cost out of pocket. My best man's jacket was way too tight. The solution? The Black Tux customer service team overnighted him two additional jackets so he could pick the one that fit him the best. No hassle, no stress whatsoever. When the wedding was over, I slapped the provided shipping label back on the box, dropped it at FedEx and boom, I was done. My credit card was refunded for the tailoring a couple of days later - again, just as they promised. If you're looking for a good experience - and a tux that doesn't look like it came straight off the rack from Men's Warehouse - go with this company. They provide a much more modern look, and they might even be a little cheaper as well. I'll be using Black Tux for all my tux needs in the future.

liked the modern cuts and the final fit. The 4 star rating is due to orders not being received 7 days ahead of time as promised. In fact, over ½ of my wedding party (including myself) did not receive our orders 7 days in advance. This simply added to the stress of an already stressful time in my life. When all was said and done, my groomsmen and I look great, I just have to deduct a star for not being able to deliver on time (and adding to my stress).

The guys were all thrilled, with more than one saying they planned to ask The Black Tux if they could buy their suit. More importantly, everything fit on the first try, but we received the suits with plenty of time to address any potential issues. The Black Tux was a home run - fair price, amazingly high quality, great service, and straightforward buying and returning.
