Friar Tux

Friar Tux is a family-owned formalwear company that has rented and sold suits and tuxedos in Southern California since 1974, and it also serves Las Vegas, Nevada. Customers can order online, book an in-store or virtual styling session, or visit a showroom, and online rentals ship anywhere in the contiguous United States.

What Friar Tux sells

• Suit and tuxedo rentals in many colors and fits, plus new suits and tuxedos to buy
• Shirts, pants, vests, cummerbunds, ties, pocket squares, studs and cufflinks
• Formal shoes from men's size 6 to 18 wide, and boys' shoes in sizes 8 to 5.5

Engaged couples can request free fabric swatches and an at-home rental try-on, with the first try-on shipment free. Organizers of weddings, quinceañeras and school dances can assign looks to each party member in an online event manager, and members enter their sizes with the Fit Calculator.

Delivery and returns

Online orders of $150 or more ship free; smaller online orders pay $12, and in-store orders that are mailed cost $12 each way. Pickup and return at a showroom cost nothing. Rentals normally arrive about 14 days before the event, purchases arrive within about 10 business days by UPS Ground, and nothing ships outside the contiguous states.

Rentals come with a prepaid UPS return bag and should go back within 48 hours after the event; late returns cost $20 a day. When shipped rental items do not fit, replacements ship free if the customer calls within 48 hours of delivery, and Friar Tux credits up to $15 for a temporary tailor alteration. Unworn, unaltered purchases with tags can be returned within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.
