Formal Wear

It seems that lately a lot of folks who normally sell clothing are taking a crack at formal wear. Places like those big-box, big-chain menswear stores do a perfectly fine job selling perfectly nice clothing. Why not formal wear, too? Well, as you might guess, here at Formalwear Ltd, we've spent a fair share of time around formal wear (30 years, to be specific). And among the many lessons we've learned during that 30-year stretch, we've learned one of particular importance: formal wear is not clothing.

The first step is to decide the overall style and color scheme of the wedding itself (this is probably a decision you'll want to share with the bride-to-be and/or wedding planner, lest you suffer their wrath at a later date). Once you have a "big picture" in mind, start browsing our website to see the designer styles we carry, or stop by our store in Waltham, MA to see them in person.

Jim McElroy laughed when I asked him if he owns a tuxedo. I guess my question was kind of dumb. McElroy, owner and operator of Formalwear Ltd., actually owns 5,000 tuxedos. What I meant was does he have one or many favorites at home in his closet. But that follow-up was also kind of dumb. Why would he, McElroy explained, when he can just come down to the shop and have his choice from the latest style to any of the classics.

If you live in Massachusetts and need a tuxedo, you should go to Formalwear Ltd. This is quite simply the best customer service I have ever received, period AND at a fair price. The owner took care of me personally, gave me great advice, and wouldn't stop until I was completely satisfied. First one I tried on I didn't like and without me even saying a word he said "I can see this one is not right, let's try one with a more natural shoulder" and started trying to find me something that was great.This place is special-you should go here for anything you need, even if it's a longer drive.
