Our take
Born from a dissatisfaction with tux hiring, the founders of The Black Tux sought to create an alternative to traditional tuxedo and suit rental outlets, something that was a more fun and enjoyable experience for customers.
Clients can hire or buy one of the company's own designed 100% merino wool suits as well as cotton shirts and proper leather shoes. Using quality and craftsmanship to set them apart from other traditional rental options that typically offer factory-made polyester garments that have been through many rounds of dry cleaning. Customers can build their own look or have one curated by in-house stylists based on their needs. Suit hire is competitively priced considering the garments are worth upwards of $1200 on the shelf.
With standalone showrooms and a Partnership with Nordstrom, Black Tux has recently stepped into the physical retail world. Moving into a future where suits aren’t just reserved for weddings, and the stigma around clothing rental begins to diminish, the company has also started to provide formal wear for interviews and even dates.
