Tuxedo Help!

One day, we went to Men's Wearhouse on N. Federal Hwy to register, so we could have info to pass onto the groomsmen. We were kinda in a hurry, so we didn't have time to do much other than pick some stuff out of their catalog and get our info in their system. A couple weeks later, we went back so FI could get measured and actually try his tux on. Well, apparently, they didn't have it in stock, so the lady had him try on a jacket and pants (no dress shirt, no tie..just his T-shirt) that looked nothing like the catalog style we picked. She said that it was the closest thing they had and they don't keep much in stock, b/c it all comes from a central hub. I get that, but the fact that FI won't have his actual tux to try on until days before the wedding makes me kinda nervous. How can we know this is what they should order for him? Has anyone else experienced this? Please recommend your tux place or a Men's Wearhouse location, b/c this place is freaking me out.

    I've been to the MW location in Sawgrass by DB, and we didn't have that issue. I've also been to the location in Coral Square Mall and haven't had that issue. I'm guessing maybe they don't get much business so they don't keep much in stock.

    We used Sacino's across the street from Sunset place and they were very helpful.  Went above and beyond my expectations so far.  HTHTyler

    Faerie, Do you have all the info on the style...my brother is the store manager at the Men's Warehouse Tux in the Town Center Mall in Boca, I'm not sure where you live. If you want to email me, murrc2@comcast.net, I can call him and see if he carries it and even have him give you a call and probably tell you who carries it that's closest to you and put your worries at ease. I wouldn't want to order a tux without trying the actual one either, and he should be trying on the whole thing with shirt and tie, to get the feel. HTH, Cathy

    Men's Wearhouse was the first place I went to when I started looking for the tuxs. I was so dissapointed at the selection and the service that I just got up and left. A couple of months later I went back with my best friend, thinking that maybe it was just a bad location (Town and Country Mall on Kendall and 117 Ave). This time we went to the location across the street from Dadeland and it was just as bad.We went to Sacino's (across from Sunset Place) that same afternoon and were blown away. The service was AMAZING. The guy working there was undressing and redressing maniquins to help me visualize my selections. It was a fantastic experience, and I can't imagine ever going back to Men's Wearhouse.
