Techniques For Tuxedos

It is
extremely important that your
measurements be taken properly! We
strongly advise that you go to your
local tux shop and have this done. Then
go home and recheck them following the
chart below. If you follow this chart
your tux will fit beautifully when you
arrive. We do have to charge for
alterations so please be careful. Be
sure to include your Height, Weight and
Shoe size. If you know the size coat you
normally wear please write that in also.
Tuxedo pants are not worn below the
waist so be sure to do the waist
measurement at the naval. Please do not
give us measurements that are more than
30 days old. |
