Men's warehouse custom tux?

Future Mrs. Wioncek!, on April 22, 2017 at 10:43 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 16

Hello!

Has anyone used the custom suit option at Men's Warehouse? My fiancé is a weight lifter so he is very broad up top and narrow from the waist down. Aka... very difficult to fit in a suit! We went in today and that option seemed interesting! Just curious if anyone else has any experience with it. It would be $350 for the pants and jacket and an additional $100 for the vest, but he'd get to keep it! For the groomsmen we are thinking the same but no vest (we are checking budget with them first).

Thanks!

    That honestly doesnt sound bad for a custom suit. For the groomsmen tho id consider renting since they probably wont want to buy one

    My fiancé is in the same boat, but $350 for pants and jacket seems way too cheap! Ours will be around $1,000 also from MWH. But hey if that's really the deal, then of course do it.

    @Karie we have 5 groomsmen ages 31-42 (and my 15 year old brother)... I thought it might be too expensive but the 2 that have responded are into it! So we will see.... lol

    @Rachel I thought it was pretty cheap too! He tried to sell us one around $1k first (made in USA, canvas chest panel thing, etc.) but then let us know there was another more economical option! It's just not made in the us and has no canvas thing.. so what!! Haha

    My husband did it. It's the same price for our 8 and 3 year old.

    @LaKesha, how did it turn out for your husband? Same price point as the one we are considering?

    In thinking maybe consider your GMs, can they all afford to buy a custom suit that they may or may not wear again? That'd be way more than I'd be willing to pay for a dress to wear to a friend's wedding- just saying

    When you went there did you have him actually try anything on? Of course they want you to spend the extra money for a custom suit. Obviously that's more $$

    My FH got a suit today. Everything included + alterations for $294..

    @chip that's why I said we are discussing their budgets with them before we make the decision to make sure they are all on board with it Smiley smile

    @Hannah that's great! Does he happen to have a similar build to my FH? That's the only reason off the rack is tough for us. Was it a 3 piece? Definitely worth checking off the rack first Smiley smile

    We are doing a custom suit for my FH and will probably go to Men's Warehouse now that I see how nice your fiance looks. We are going to have the groomsmen rent.

    @hannah that looks great on him!

    Originally I wanted to do the custom tux/suit for FH and have the groomsmen rent, but I'm concerned about matching... we are going with navy and the color seems to vary so much!

    My FH and his BM (aka FOG) both got custom suits from MW. $395 each for the Joseph Aboud custom suits with a few upgrades which isn't bad since they were custom. It took 5 weeks to get them in so make sure you calculate that time and add in a huge buffer in case it's late, which is what happened to us. We went around and around with them and were lied to several times before the suits finally came in. After all of the back and forth and drama and lies and speaking to at least 10 different people, they actually reimbursed us for the suits. So we got back almost $800 and still have 2 nice custom suits made. I would have rather not had to deal with the stress (we were waiting for the suits to come in So we could match the ties and shoes) but at least they compensated us in the end.

    My husband went the custom option. Once you started adding in all the extras past the Pants, jacket and vest the price really starts to add up. You still need the shirt, bow tie/tie, pocket square, possibly suspenders and the shoes.

    Final cost for my husband was Close to $900 once we finished buying everything. On the plus side he's already worn it to other formal events so we can get our money's worth and he got something that he really wanted.
