Men’s Wearhouse Experiences

Alexandra, on April 12, 2018 at 12:43 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 10
Hi everyone!

My fiancée will be going soon to pick out his attire for the wedding, and he is so, so nervous. He is a plus sized guy who has trouble finding things that fit him normally, let alone trying to find a suit at a reasonable price that doesn’t squeeze or tug in the wrong places.

I want to be able to calm him down and reassure him he will find something, but I don’t know much about Men’s Wearhouse and their selection for plus sized men.

Does anyone have any experience with this? What kind of price range were you looking at to rent/buy and did you find something that looked/felt good?

    My FH is plus size I guess, and we had a good experience with Men's Wearhouse. We were able to find a tux and everything that goes with it, and I thought it looked good on him. Part of it may depend on the store and your sales associate, but that's how most places are.

    I think his tux rental was about $200, but they have other suit and tux options for more or less.

    My FH went a few weeks ago. All we did was pick the suit color and best color. And then they measured him. He didn’t try anything on. With his measurements they will order him the correct size and will try it on then. Our is coming out $250 for rental. We wanted navy blue and their selection to one suit which cost 250. Everything included

    I have heard horrible stories and great stories about Men’s warehouse. We honestly had three horrible experiences with them. 2 visits were after I spoke with the district manager. Also, please be careful as they can be quite expensive. If you have a small or non chain tux shop try to call and meet with them. My SIL was looking at around $300 for his tux and we found a little shop who owns all his stock and it is only $100 for everything. He will also tailor it for each groomsman.

    We picked up my FH's tux from Men's Wearhouse yesterday, and I am glad that it came in so early so we could make some size and pant style changes. He has big muscular arms and thighs, and they don't do any customization other then the length of the pants. So everything looked way too big on him in the sizes they ordered to accommodate his arms and thighs. We are now wishing we just spent $1,000 and had a custom tux made for him...

    We went to Men's Warehouse. FH is a total meathead so regular suits don't fit his body because his body isn't "standard". He ended up getting a custom fit suit as Heather mentions. It was $1,000 but he said it's worth every penny. The first suit that ever fits him exact because it was made specifically for his body type. He can now where a suit that actually fits him to other formal events and work meetings. He said he would do it again in the future. The GMs all wanted to buy and he got a great deal. $220 for their suits. Standard gray so they can definitely wear them again.

    My Fiance and I went to Mens Warehouse and just couldn't justify the 700$ purchase price. We ended up going over to Macy's and found a few great options that he actually preferred more! We left, went home and returned the next day and finalized on a suit that I then purchased online. The suit was 40% off online and they are running an additional 20% off this week. If he's feeling uncomfortable maybe you guys will have good luck there as well!

    Men's Warehouse actually has a custom made suit line that is pretty affordable. That's what our groom party are doing, esp since I want groomsmen in just vests with not jackets. If he goes this route, he can be assured it'll fit.

    My FH went to Men's Warehouse to get some initial ideas and he said the salesperson was super aggressive. He is now thinking of going elsewhere

    My fiancé went about 3 weeks ago ( the wedding is next weekend) and he had a great experience. Not only was he measured but he was able to have some options to try on. Also Men's warehouse price matches on rentals.
