Classic Tuxedo

Watch the 72-hour cancellation clause

If you're a little hard to fit you may have a problem -- rental tuxedos aren't altered for shoulder or waist, just for sleeves, and this isn't explained up front (at least, not to me at this store). The jacket that was delivered for me fit in the shoulders but was too tight. A larger jacket would have been too big in the shoulders. But if you don't like the fit, you'll lose your whole payment if you cancel 72 hours or less before you pick up your tux. Problem is, they don't schedule the suit to arrive for fitting until 48 hours before you pick it up. So if you don't like it you either lump it or lose a few hundred dollars.

• Pros: Good selection
• Cons: Risky if you're a little hard to fit
