What to do when your wedding party is out of state

_____________________________________________________________________________________

We deal with this all the time.

(So don’t freak out.)

No stress. No extra cost. No brainer.

For decades, we have been the absolute best option and most accommodating of out-of-town wedding guests and party members. With stock carried on-site and alterations done in-house, no one else is better prepared for your well-traveled friends than us. As our founder and patriarch Darrell used to reassure guests, there is no “eleventh-hour crisis” at Bib ‘N Tux.

Your out-of-towners can use the website www.TuxedoFit.com to find a local tux shop that will measure them for free. Those measurements can be either called in, brought in by you, or sent via email. We implore you to not measure yourselves or just look at size labels in your closet. Please get measured by a professional to ensure we all have a smooth pick-up & try-on day.

(Alternatively, if you are heading out of Tampa and would like to rent from us, just ask about our extended rental options. We’ve got you covered.)

DO NOT RENT ONLINE.

Yes, your friend gave it a shot and had a great experience - if so, then he got very lucky. We could change our name to “Online Tux Rental Mess Fixer” and have a booming business fixing the disasters of online rentals alone. There is a very specific blend of math & science that becomes art when it comes to properly measuring and fitting someone for a tuxedo - and the only way to learn how to properly measure someone for this takes years of practice. Every generation of Dudney has spent their teenage years getting berated for taking subpar measurements. Even with decades of experience, we still beg everyone to try on their outfits before leaving the store - because to dismiss the difficulty of a precise and proper fit is the mindset of fools. Do. Not. Rent. Online.
