Prom Tux Rentals - What to do?


Recommended Posts

First of all, a young gentleman going to prom will need to come in to have his measurements taken. If he is going with a date, then he may want to discuss with his date color-coordination. Some try to match up colors, others don't. It's a matter of preference.

 

If they're matching/coordinating colors, then they should bring THE DRESS in, or at least some fabric (sash, ribbon, etc) with the color in it. Pictures of colors are usually not helpful in creating an exact color match and cellphone pictures are notorious for distorting the color.

 

When you get your measurements taken, try on something! You've all seen pictures of guys going to prom with the sleeve length so long that it covers the boy's hands. That's usually because an untrained sales associate didn't take a sleeve measurement. Also - Try on shoes. If your shoes are uncomfortable for the entire night, you're going to be miserable!

 

Regarding price - BEFORE you go in to the store, find out the TOTAL price. If they won't tell you, don't go there! The big chain stores lure you in with an ultra-low "reference price" when they know that a person cannot rent one for that price. They'll say, "our prices START AT ....." If you ask how much a total rental is, they say "Depends". Again - don't go to a store that won't give you a straight answer.

 

Go to a tux shop that has well-trained staff and doesn't hire "seasonal help". Again, it's the chain stores who will hire people only for the prom season and the sales person may have no knowledge of the formal wear business or etiquette.

 

Take your business to a shop that will take ownership and responsibility and has an excellent record of customer service. It's a special day, you're spending over a hundred dollars for the total rental, so you deserve an excellent personal experience!

 

So here's the process: Call to get a price quote for a complete rental with everything (briefly describe what you think that you want i.e. "black tux with red vest and red bow tie). Then go in for measurements and take the dress in if you're coordinating colors. Have your measurements taken by trying on a tux and shoes. Find out about the rental terms (like when the tux is to be picked up and returned) Pay for your rental, making sure that it's the price that you were quoted. When picking up the rental, try it on because once you've accepted it (taken it out of the store) it's deemed, "acceptable".

Here's another warning about the chain tux places -- Be especially wary if they ask prom customers (low on their priority list) to make a second choice in case their first choice isn't available.

 

Customers should get what they're paying for and no customer should be treated as less of a priority than other customers! Don't let anyone substitute another item for the one that you want!

 

Of course, you can come in to King Tux Rentals and you won't have to deal with substitutions!
