I can't find any of the posts on tuxes.  We are trying to not go to Gentlemen's Warehouse and I remember JT Ghamo and Modern Formals being recommended.  Can you provide feedback on those two and also recommend any others?

Thanks girls!

    If you're in north central CT I recommend College Formals in West Springfield, they were great to work with & very budget friendly.

    I've heard somet great things about JT Ghamo which is why I have put down a deposit for them.  The lady at the Avon CT location is very nice and helpful :)

    We're using Modern Formals. Their prices were the best. So far, my FI has only picked out his tux and the GM tuxes so I can't really comment much more than their prices were great and they were really helpful.

    What about Formals by Antonio?  Any feedback on them?

    Location wise I'm right between Formals by Antonio and JT Ghamo...so ideally I'd like to use one of them for convenience reasons.  But I don't mind going to Modern in Southington if that's the overall best choice.

    I used JT Ghamo in West Hartford and LOVED them.  They gave us a great deal and had gorgeous options.  There were no problems with our order and they are a smaller company so very personal.

    Definitely Modern Formals! We used the one in Southington, but they have other locations. Great service, everything came out right with no issues, and you can't beat the price!

    Is Modern really that much cheaper?  What are we talking here if you don't mind me asking?

    Does Modern give the groom a free tux? 

    We are going to have to rent 10 tuxes. 1 groom, 2 fathers and 7 groomsmen.

    I want to say it was $115 - $120 but I dont remember exactly. All I know is it was cheaper than Mens Warehouse who can never get anything right.

    The groom had an option to get a free tux, or pay for his tux and get a free suit. That was with 5 groomsman rentals, 2 dads, and 1 ring bearer.

    We are going with Camillos in Orange.  In fact we went there tonight and were in and out in under a half hour... super easy to work with.  The tuxes were $140 including everything, grooms tux is free and the RB tux is $95.

    Modern Formals for us is $119, and the normal price for the one my FI picked is $149 without shoes. She gave us the price at $119 WITH the shoes. And the groom does get a free rental.
