Win a Tuxedo from Friar Tux Shop - Just in time for Father's Day!

I just helped my son navigate through his first formal wear rental experience. The last time I was in a formal wear rental shop was when I got married and it wasn't a fun, nor pleasant, experience. This time, it was not only easy but enjoyable. I credit this to where I decided to take him for his suit, Friar Tux Shop. Cute name, right?

The salespeople were just as would expect them to be, knowledgeable and pleasant. They had the whole process down to a science and they were able to guide my son and me in the right direction. I had no idea what the newest trends and styles were. While I was pretty sure that the boys were not wearing cumber-buns and bowties anymore, but I was unsure if the style was to match tie/vest color with their dates dresses (it is). Our salesperson allowed us the time we needed to find just the right color and style of suit and never made us feel rushed. We were in and out in about 15 minutes. We expected that the pick-up process would be a bit longer but it was just about the same amount of time. Once again, Friar Tux has everything organized so that you aren't wasting your time standing around.

While prom season has pretty much come and gone, wedding season is just beginning. As I said earlier, I can still remember going to the formal wear rental shop and it being such a horrible and long process. It was also so incredibly expensive and the "extra" costs added up very quickly. At Friar Tux there are not hidden costs and their prices are extremely competitive. Where other formal wear retailers charge a wedding registration fee, sales tax on each rental, and/or an accidental damage waiver, Friar Tux does not. They also offer a price match guarantee. If you find the exact garments available elsewhere for less, Friar Tux Shop will match that price!

While Friar Tux is a Southern California operation - they are a member of Savvi Formalwear with locations coast-to-coast. Therefore if you have members of your wedding party that are not in the Southern California area, they can go to any Savvi Formalwear location and get their fittings done there. Makes life (and organizing a wedding) a whole lot easier!

Friar Tux is offering a retail tuxedo for one of my readers to OWN! That's right - no more rentals - you will be able to offer that special man in your life their very own tuxedo.

WIN IT!: One of my readers will win a Pronto Moda retail tuxedo package, which includes the tuxedo and trousers, shirt, tie, and cummerbund, plus basic studs and cufflinks. (The winner would need to live in the Friar Tux service area as this is not a rental but tuxedo that your will own) ARV: $350

TO ENTER: Who would you be want to win this tuxedo for? Would it be for Father's Day?

I'd want to win this for my DH. He owns 2 businesses and often needs to dress up. This would be perfect. Not sure if it would be for Father's Day or just to give to him.

I don't own a suit or tux and I really could use it.

melanie said...

My husband has never owned a tux. He has always wanted one, but it has never been in the budget. He keeps getting invited to many black tie events for work, but can never go because of nothing to wear. His 30th Birthday is Aug. 9th and I am suprising him and taking him on a weekend in Vegas. I would love to win this for him to wear.
