Great exerience

My sizing is a little haphazard and OTR suits don't work and I don't need one often enough to buy. The Black Tux helped size me up, get a suit in time for two weddings and adjusted their standard timelines for a good return. Suits looked great, felt great, and pricing on point.

Highly recommend.

Overpriced suit rentals that don’t fit

Absolutely terrible experience. I was one of the groomsmen. Went to the Nordstrom close by and someone did my measurements. Order comes on time. Didn’t care to check the order because I thought “they have my measurements so it should fit”
Tried the suit on the day of the wedding and pants are waaaaaaaaaaaaay too big. My size is 31W-34L they sent me 36W. Had a terrible day at the wedding and asked for a refund. They said they’ll refund me for the pants. It’s like you order a pizza and it comes without cheese and they refund you for cheese. Terrible business

Back-to-back TERRIBLE experiences

I had back-to-back BAD experiences with Black Tux (I got married in June 2024 and my brother in July 2024).

Let’s start with my wedding: I saw on the website that you can remove any items you already own at checkout, so that if someone already owns a shirt / socks / suspenders, they don’t have to spend extra money on them. This turned out to be FALSE and created massive problems (see other wedding below). Several of my groomsmen had to spend $50+ extra on items they already owned. Their customer service is difficult to get ahold of and told me a lot of information that conflicted with their website and what other agents had told me. Otherwise, the tuxedos arrived on time and nobody had to request a replacement, so it worked out in the end.

My experience for my brother’s wedding was MUCH worse. I got the invitation email, scheduled an appointment, and went in to get fitted. Once I got there, I asked about removing certain items that I already owned and she said “we don’t do that”. After telling her what the customer support agents had told me, i.e. that I already owned several items (button-down shirt, socks, suspenders, bowtie) and could remove them at checkout, she said something along the lines of “ok we CAN do it, but we’re not supposed to”. I said okay, whatever, if I have to pay extra it’s whatever.

The fitting went pretty poorly, which I never even thought would be an issue. None of the shirts they gave me were even remotely close to fitting, and I ended up just going with one that didn’t fit at all, knowing I had one at home that fits from my own wedding. The pants didn’t fit either and they ended up just ordering a size that they didn’t have in-store but they assured me would fit. Again, whatever because I knew I had a pair of tux pants at home as a backup. Same story for the jacket. I finally go to checkout and I see the measurements that she put in: 36R jacket (usually I’m a 38R or 40R) and 34x30 pants (I’m a 30x32). I brought these concerns up and again she assured me they would be fine. Then we go to remove the items I already have - and she ends up DELETING me from the wedding entirely! I had to call the groom from the store and explain that he needed to re-add me to the event before I could checkout - but he was unable to so I had to create an entirely new account with a different email so he could add me back. After all of that, I still had to pay for all of the items, including $75+ of items I already owned and was told I’d be able to remove all this time.

Fast forward, the box gets delivered. The shirt made me look like the Michelin man and wasn’t even close to fitting and the jacket was too tight. Requested a replacement jacket the same day and they said it would show up in 1-2 days. 4 days later, the box is stuck at the post office - apparently it was sent to the wrong post office - and they tell me they have no idea when it will make it to me. This is 24 hours until I leave for the wedding weekend, so I had to get on the phone with another agent, explain the situation, and get a new one shipped to the location of the wedding. Thankfully that one came on time and fit much better, like I told the fitting lady.

Day after the wedding, I returned everything in the original box, including the replacement jacket that they sent me. A couple weeks after the wedding, a get an email (for the second account of course) saying that they have not received my items and I will be charged $200+ next week. Truly the cherry on top of a crappy experience. Will be disputing the transaction if they decide to charge me and hopefully never have to go through them again!

Hi Ben,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I’m really sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced with our showrooms team and with managing your event items. Your feedback is incredibly important to us, and I want to assure you that we’re taking it seriously.

I’ve reported your showroom experience as we know getting the right fit and the best service is important. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this caused you.

I understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with confusion around assigned items. Our system is designed to mark all items as requirements, which means any changes, including removals, need to be approved before they can be processed. I’m genuinely sorry if this created any extra hassle for you. 

We’re so sorry to only be hearing of this issue now! Our customer service team is always here to assist with add and remove requests. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, you can either submit a removal form from our Help Center or email us at support@theblacktux.com before completing checkout. We strive to make this process as smooth as possible and will notify the event creator if approval is needed for any changes. Upon checking the account information provided and all of the attached events, it looks like none of the participants reached out to our customer service team in regard to removing items. We’re sorry we missed the opportunity to help here.

I’m particularly sorry to hear that these issues impacted both of your events and that our team’s support fell short of your expectations. I’ve shared your feedback with the relevant teams to ensure we can improve and provide better service in the future.

On a positive note, I’m glad to confirm that we’ve addressed your concerns regarding unreturned fees. We’ve confirmed that your items were dropped off and have ensured that you won’t be charged any fees. Please check your email for all the details on this matter.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. If there’s anything else we can do to assist you, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

If you need anything, feel free to reach back out to us at 1-888-717-1588 or email us at support@theblacktux.com. We hope we get a chance to serve you better in the future.

Best regards,

Bad customer service dealing with damaged suit jacket

Used Black Tux for a wedding in summer 2024. Initial suit did not properly fit and I requested a replacement. Replacement came in damaged (exposed and very poorly done stitching at the end of the sleeves). Black Tux did a terrible job working with me to address the issue. They offered to send me another suit jacket for an additional $40, or to give me $15 reimbursement to get it tailored. $15 is such a joke...... a tailor will not do ANYTHING for $15.

If you do use them, be prepared for the worse. Fabric quality and fit (after requesting adjustment) was okay, but not quite there for the cost.

A horrendous customer experience!

A horrendous customer experience!! Was measured initially by a distracted salesperson, received a suit that wasn't even close to fitting in a box held together by duct tape, the many replacements garments failed to be delivered and ultimately arrived days before the wedding. In attempting the return, the damaged box can't be used, the easy tearoom label to reveal the return label does not work and in seeking to speak with a human I'm asked to be on hold for 103 minutes, yes that's right, the better part of two hours. If there's an event you care about that needs professional efficient and reliable service DO NOT USE The Black Tux and if you do, know that you do so at your own peril. I gave them a 1 star because there was no 0 star option. The Black Tux, simply awful...

Ordered a 30 length inseam received a 25 inch inseam, a 32 inch sleave on the dress shirt, received a 37 inch sleave. They take no chest measurements so the jacket looked like a tent. Trying to fix it through their app was impossible.

Awful Customer Service

Hi there,
I made 7 appointments for my fiancé and his groomsmen for today. Between the hours 11-2p. I’ve had it booked since may of this year, got a confirmation email for each appointment 2 days ago and Erica, from your Arlington location decided to cancel MY appointments the day BEFORE my appointments. And why??? After chasing for the answer, it’s because they weren’t staffed….
After a month of being scheduled, confirmed emails..this is disappointing, disrespectful, insensitive, inconsiderate, unprofessional and what’s worse, whoever Andi is from the same location? Decided to respond to my email to Erica, gaffing me off. “We apologize for the inconvenience “ ?!?! The ONLY reason I sent my fiancé and his groomsmen to y’all was because of his David’s bridal treated me and my bridal party. Y’all need to hire better people that KNOW and COMPREHEND what customer service is. Andi and Erica are what made me and my business are going elsewhere. They didn’t treat me like a person. They treated me like nothing.

The fit is not remotely close

The fit is not remotely close. I followed instructions for setting everything up and did a fitting a month ago. Received my suit yesterday right on schedule. The jacket sleeves are 3" too long. That's a big error that makes me wonder if they shipped the wrong jacket by mistake. Maybe it's a long since I'm typically a regular. I've ordered another jacket replacement but who knows if the adjustment I put in the replacement order will be correct since I don't know which jacket they actually shipped the first time. I guess we'll find out. This is not how it should work for a company that is in the business to make an important event less stressful.

**Update since initial review - I received the replacement jacket within 2 days with sleeves shortened to my specifications. I did not choose rush shipping so the very quick turnaround is appreciated.. I also appreciate the contact information included in the response to my initial review. To clarify, I had a live personal fitting at a BT location prior to getting my initial suit.

Website Has a Ton of Technical Issues

For being an online provider, their website is really frustrating to deal with. I can't remove participants without getting an oops error, I'm constantly running into application errors when viewing my cart and their transactional emails constantly have the wrong dates for renting vs buying.

It's just unfortunate that you really can't experience any of this until you pay for the groom because we wouldn't have continued on with their service. We're in the process of cancelling and just finding an in-person place.

Aside from all of the technical issues, we ordered two replacement orders because the sizing was off and it's not worth the back and forth to continue trying to get the right fit.

Not the best experience

Hi, just dropped off my rented suit at the UPS store but overall not the best experience here. They did not have my size in the regular fit (only slim fit) and they did not do the sleeve alterations I requested. Not the seamless experience advertised. I would not go to this company again.

All the stars!

Happy to leave these folks all the stars! Easy order, great fit, super super duper convenient and very reasonable rates. Had I known I would be given a great offer to buy / own the items I was only renting, I might have made a different choice but that is the only thing I'd do differently!

Great customer service and tuxedos…

Great customer service and tuxedos looked great. If an item did not fit, they immediately sent another size. Email communication was excellent so deadlines could be met. Appreciated the ease of returning items.

Great Stuff! Convenient and Comfortable

I was hesitant of an online suit rental at first but the whole thing was so easy and accommodating. The process to get a different size in one of your pieces of clothing was awesome and the return process was completely taken care of for you as well. Also, the tuxedos themselves looked great and fit even better. Would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Great quality tuxedo!

The tux arrived 10 days before the wedding, plenty of time to try on and get a replacement if needed. In my case I needed a larger shirt which was shipped and received within a few days. They also paid for my pants to have hemmed 1" since the pants were a little long. They only came in 30" or 32" and I needed a 31". Shoes ran big, so I needed a smaller pair which also arrived within a couple of days. Looked great on, great quality. Return process was easy!

If sophistication had a form

If sophistication had a form; it would undoubtedly be embodied by the Black Tux. As an individual who appreciates both style and quality, I recently had the pleasure of wearing the slim fit charcoal suit for my wedding, and it exceeded every expectation. The Black Tux made it easy for groomsmen across the state to all get their suits. The customer service was exceptional. The packaging is sleek and makes it easy to return. I also, had the option to purchase items after the event which myself and others choose to do. Now I have a suit that I can wear to future events. The Black Tux is a timeless allure of classic menswear.

Highly Recommend

I bought a high quality tux that was perfect for my wedding. Fit pretty well but I went to my own tailor to make it perfect. Otherwise, very cost effective and the portal is easy to use (I.e., to add groomsmen, etc.). Very seamless in amidst the chaos of wedding planning. Highly recommend!
