pipedreams62 Posted December 4, 2008 #1 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hi- I've seen threads on here about places to get tuxedos for teens that are inexpensive. I thought I had saved them in my favorites but can't find them. Any suggestions? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8teacher Posted December 5, 2008 #2 Share Posted December 5, 2008 If they wear a size 16, 18, or 20 you can get them HERE for $75. For larger sizes you can get a jacket and pants at JC Penny for $100. Also check Ebay. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liner Posted December 5, 2008 #3 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I always had luck at Syms. Our store has closed but if you have near you they have TONS of tuxedos and suits in MANY sizes. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Jerome Wild Posted December 5, 2008 #4 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Hi- I've seen threads on here about places to get tuxedos for teens that are inexpensive. I thought I had saved them in my favorites but can't find them. Any suggestions? Thanks Lots! Here's where I start to look... http://www.buy4lesstuxedo.com/ http://www.etuxedo.com/ http://www.tuxedosonline.com/ http://www.uniformalwearhouse.com/ For a tuxedo on these sites though, stick with 100% wool, and only one buttons or two buttons. Anything on a tuxedo 3 buttons or more is getting a bit "iffy". Let me know if you have any further questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Jerome Wild Posted December 5, 2008 #5 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Here's some specifics from before that I like in general: Here's one to start, all the sizes you need (separates) and the option of flat fronts... http://www.etuxedo.com/tuxedo_separa...rma_tuxedo.htm At least it will start you on ideas... This is a good strong quality for traveling... Here's another option for separates and a flat front pant... It's a bit more modern with the notch lapel, so not as classic as the peak lapel one button in the post above... http://www.menswearhouse.com/menswea...=1227294532169 Peak Lapel, two button, flat front option... http://www.buy4lesstuxedo.com//2-BUT...llis-4748.html Peak Lapel, One Button, Flat Front option, available as separates, so both jacket and pants are in his size... http://bmb.goemerchant.com/cart/cart...Number=SFW004B ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have worsted wool,will that be better than the polyester ones? I don't want to break the bank but don't want el cheapo cheesy either.

Thanks Yes, you really only want the worsted wool or the tropical weight wool. To put it in your own words, the polyester ones do end up looking "el cheapo cheesy" - so I would never personally recommend those. Good luck!

Rare Keith1010 Posted December 9, 2008 #9 Share Posted December 9, 2008 You can also try Kohl's in addition to JC Penney which was mentioned by someone else. I would go someplace where the teens can try them on rather than ordering them on a web site. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Jerome Wild Posted December 9, 2008 #10 Share Posted December 9, 2008 In general, it is always good to go to any tuxedo chain store first and get measured... Then whatever you order from a website will fit fine... Once you know your jacket size, it's straightforward. You can pretty much order any jackets from then on. Pants are even easier, as it's a waist measurement - and even then most tuxedo pants are waist size adjustable. Just sayin';) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted December 9, 2008 #11 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I would have him try on the tuxedo. Not all suits or tuxedos are cut the same way. I think for something like this it would be best to pick it out after he tries it on. I would start with JC Penney and Kohl's. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefchick Posted December 11, 2008 #12 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I rented a tux for my 13 YO son. He is tall and thin so they boy sizes would not fit. After proper measuring, I ordered the smallest men's size I could (34 short). For those of you who have rented onboard before; once he tries it on, if it is a little big in the jacket, can he have it altered onboard? Has anyone ever had ecperience with this? The ones my husband has rented in the past from Cruiseline Formalwear have always fit properly. Thank you. Either way, we are going to have some great NYE pictures :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
