Tuxedos?
« on: March 11, 2005, 11:46:17 AM »
Hey all,

Yes, it's rather late for me to be asking this, but...anyone have suggestions for tuxedo places in SLC? I'm figuring on just using the yellow pages, but if anyone's got any suggestions about where to go or where to stay away from, I'd love to hear them.

Ideally I'd like to buy a tux cheap; more cost-effective than renting. Maybe one of those ones that's been rented for a while and they're retiring it; I hear those are good deals. But I'm not willing to spend more than like $130 in that case. So rental is fine too.

I've got my measurements already from a tux shop down here, and the kind of tux I need is tails (so they say, if I want to even try to compete with Karen's easily $1000 dress (bought at goodwill for $20 because otherwise there's no way we'd get something that expensive), which I don't, but it's nice to at least not look out of place). Plus the other tuxes at the tux place don't look like tuxes to me but just like suits...

I went with tails too. I concur.

Anyway, I can't help with SLC, but I can tell you where NOT to go in Springfield, VA. Jeffe will vouch for me. Grr...

Do you have Morag's email?  He could tell you about the place he went to.

I don't think I got anything... Though I don't recall giving Ookla my address, so I shouldn't be surprised.

Uhhh well...I didn't actually ask anyone for their addresses, so...if a bunch get sent back for having the wrong address on them, THEN I'll ask!!!!

I'll end up making a post with all the reception info just to make sure...
