When should we choose the tuxedos?
This is influenced by the time of year. We recommend that the Bride and/or Groom select the tuxedo styles and colors at least two months before the wedding. However, it is never too early to book your tuxedos. We are happy to offer a try on appointment for the Groom. We will bring in the chosen ensemble in the Groom's size so he can try it on and get a feel for the style, color and fit. The try on appointments are not available between mid-March and June 1st due to the heavy volume of tuxedos rented for Prom Season.

Can I Measure Myself for a Tuxedo Rental?
It may seem really simple to measure yourself for a tuxedo, but it is actually next to impossible to acquire accurate measurements when you try to measure yourself. An inaccurate measurement that may be off by only an inch may get you a tuxedo coat that's one or two sizes too big or small. It's best to count on an authorized Jim's Formal Wear Retailer to measure you for your formal affair, or a professional tailor.

What Do I Do About Tuxedos For Little Boys?
Every one of our Tuxedo Styles starts at boys' size 3. If you're thinking of including a little guy in your wedding party, we'll be able to offer a style in his size. The price for boys tuxedos is based on the style being ordered. Ask one of our Tuxedo Specialists for advice in fitting your little guy. We will do a growth check two weeks prior to the event to assure a good fit, as children can have large growth in a short amount of time.

Do all of the men wear exactly the same tuxedo?
It is not required that all the men in your party dress exactly the same. In fact, in many cases, they do not. Often times the groom will be in a different style or a different vest and tie. Many times the fathers and grandfathers will wear something slightly different than the groom and his attendants. The only real guideline to remember is this: keep the formality the same as that of the ladies in the party.

Are Tuxedos Available in Other Colors?
While black is the traditional color for wedding party tuxes, many of Jim's styles are also available in other colors such as chocolate brown, tan, grey and white. Please stop in to speak with one of our consultants or visit www.jimsformalwear.com to see all the available colors.

Do All the Tuxes in the Party Need To Be The Same Color?
The bride and groom are the stars of the show, therefore the look of the party is determined primarily by their preference. The primary basis when choosing colors and styles for your wedding party is balance. Accents that tie in other colors used in the wedding are a good way to balance the party.

What If We Are Having a Destination Wedding?
When renting tuxedos the store in which they are rented is where they will need to be picked up and returned. If your wedding is taking place in a state or country outside where you live, then please take this into consideration. If you will need your party's tuxedos longer than five days, an extended rental will likely be needed and the extended rental fee will apply. Please see one of our specialists for more information.

Do I Need To Make An Appointment?
It is recommended that the groom and/or bride schedule an appointment to choose the colors and styles for their party. This is also when the groom can get his measurements taken and give the names of all the gentlemen in your party that are ordering a tuxedo. It is also recommended that each party member schedule a time to come in to the store to get their measurements taken. Walk ins are always welcome and will be assisted as efficently as possible.
