What to Expect During Your Tuxedo Fitting at Mary Ellen’s Tux Shoppe

Renting a tuxedo is more than just picking a style off the rack — it’s about making sure you look and feel your absolute best.
At Mary Ellen’s Tux Shoppe, we’re here to make the tuxedo fitting process easy, comfortable, and even fun.

If you’ve never had a tuxedo fitting before, here’s exactly what you can expect when you walk through our doors:

Step 1: Warm Welcome and Consultation

When you arrive at Mary Ellen’s Tux Shoppe, you’ll be greeted by one of our friendly formalwear specialists.
We’ll start with a few simple questions to understand:

• The type of event you’re attending (wedding, prom, gala, etc.)
• The dress code or theme (black-tie, semi-formal, colorful, trendy)
• Your style preferences (classic, modern, slim-fit, bold)

Our goal is to match you with the perfect tuxedo rental that fits the occasion — and your personal style.

Step 2: Choosing the Right Tuxedo

Next, we’ll help you explore our wide selection of tuxedo styles, colors, and fits.
You’ll be able to see and feel different fabrics, browse through classic black tuxedos, bold new colors, or even trendy velvet options.

Step 3: Professional Measurements

Once you’ve selected a style you love, we’ll take detailed measurements to ensure the perfect fit:

• Neck and sleeve measurements for the jacket and shirt
• Chest and waist measurements for the jacket and pants
• Inseam for pant length
• Shoe size for formal dress shoes

Taking precise measurements ensures that your tuxedo will fit comfortably and look sharp from every angle.

Step 4: Try-On and Adjustments

After taking your measurements, we’ll have you try on a sample tuxedo that’s close to your size and style choice.
This step lets us double-check:

• Jacket fit across the shoulders and chest
• Sleeve and pant lengths
• Waist fit for both comfort and style

If anything needs adjusting, don’t worry — we’ll handle it.
Our goal is for you to leave the fitting knowing your tuxedo will be just right when you pick it up.

Step 5: Accessorizing Your Look

A great tuxedo is all about the details.
We’ll help you pick the perfect accessories to complete your look, including:

• Bow ties or neckties
• Pocket squares
• Cufflinks and studs
• Suspenders
• Formal shoes

Accessories are included in many of our rental packages, making it easy to walk out with a complete, polished outfit.

Step 6: Pickup and Final Fitting

When your tuxedo is ready, we’ll schedule a pickup date (typically a few days before your event).
When you come back to pick it up, we’ll have you try everything on again — jacket, pants, shirt, shoes, and accessories — to make sure it fits perfectly.

If minor adjustments are needed, we’ll take care of them quickly so you’re ready to shine.
