Tux rental by mail
A unique request! While traditional tuxedo rentals are typically done in-person at a local store, there are a few companies that offer tuxedo rentals by mail. Here are a few options:
- The Black Tux: This company offers a "Tux Rental by Mail" service, where they send you a pre-styled tuxedo to wear for your event. They have a wide range of styles and sizes to choose from, and their prices start at around $199.
- Tuxedo Rentals by Mail: This company offers a similar service, where they send you a tuxedo to wear for your event. They have a variety of styles and sizes to choose from, and their prices start at around $150.
- Rent the Runway: While not exclusively a tuxedo rental service, Rent the Runway does offer a selection of tuxedos for rent. They have a wide range of styles and sizes to choose from, and their prices start at around $150.
- Vestiare Collective: This luxury consignment store offers a tuxedo rental service, where they send you a pre-owned tuxedo to wear for your event. They have a selection of high-end brands and styles to choose from, and their prices start at around $200.
When considering a tuxedo rental by mail, keep the following in mind:
- Fitting: Since you won't be able to try on the tuxedo before renting, make sure to choose a size that fits you well. Most companies offer a "free exchange" policy if the tuxedo doesn't fit quite right.
- Alterations: Some companies may offer alteration services, while others may require you to take the tuxedo to a local tailor for alterations.
- Return shipping: Be sure to check the return shipping costs and policies of the company you choose, as these can vary.
- Quality: While most companies take great care in packaging and shipping their tuxedos, there's always a risk of damage during transit. Make sure to choose a reputable company with good reviews.
Remember to plan ahead and allow plenty of time for shipping and any necessary alterations. Happy renting!
