Where to rent a tux in Long Beach, CA or thereabouts

February 24, 2016 8:35 PM

I have been invited to a charity event gala type thing on March 6th. Black tie not optional, so I gotta rent a tux. I have only wron tuxes for my high school prom and weddings. I would rather spend as little as possible, while not looking like bum. Any hints metafilter?

Men's Wearhouse will take care of you. There's not one in LB, but there's 3 just about equidistant in Torrance, Lakewood, and Westminster.

Jos A Bank does too. There are some in the area. I've always found tux rental to be annoyingly expensive for using some clothes for 24 hours, so prepare yourself.

You might be able to find one at a thrift store and get it tailored.

I've used TheBlackTux.com several times and their tuxes are very nice-- usually costs me around $125

Men's Wearhouse has got you covered. Even their most basic model is exactly what you want and you're going to look great.

I think you can also use this $50 off coupon for prom tuxes at Men's Warehouse. I don't think there is an age limit on it!

Best answer: This place (Lakewood) is cheaper than Men's Wearhouse (Lakewood) I believe, a couple of friends discovered the chain out in Riverside and is my go to recommendation if budget is a factor.
