Helpful Tips: Out of town Groomsmen

Almost every wedding that comes in has at least one person in their wedding party that is out of town/state. National, big chain stores have storefronts across the US, in almost every state where your guys can go to for their measurements and picking up their tuxedo.... but how do we take care of that only having one store? We are a part of the National Fit Program. In short that means your groomsmen can go to a local formal wear shop in their area to get measured. It’s a great program that simplifies the whole process. They can go to www.tuxedofit.com and enter their zip code to find a local, reliable tuxedo shop that offers FREE courtesy measurements. A form is located on our website under “Out of Town Measurements” that your groomsmen may print out and take with them to ensure that all of the proper measurements are taken. They can then call, fax, email or submit their measurements on www.gerardtuxedo.com. You want to make sure you include your CORRECT height and weight on the form because we do use that to check over the measurements and make any changes we see necessary. And you want to alert us (about two weeks before pick up) if you have lost or gained weight, so we can order the new garments and have them in when you come instead of  you having to come back again for the replacements. Any last minute alterations can be done here at the store and it only takes about 5-10 minutes.
