Ok, Bridal Buzz-ers we need your help. Does anyone know where to get a midnight blue tuxedo in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area (or at least within a reasonable distance)?

Is there anywhere in Dallas with a decent tux rental store? Al’s Formal only has a catalog while Culdwell and Mister Tuxedo have less than 6 coat/pant options.

I would think that a midnight blue tuxedo would a bit tough to find outside of going the made-to-measure or bespoke route. Definitely a classic choice if you can find one. I would guess most mens stores that offer MTM suits could make a midnight blue tuxedo happen, though it might be a small chore to find the fabric (it’s definitely out there, just maybe not in Dallas). Culwell might be a good (relatively) affordable MTM option.

As for the “less than six coat/pant combinations” comment, why would you need more options? It’s basically a black suit with satin (or grosgrain) facings. As for jackets, there are shawl collar, peak lapel, and notch collar and single- or double-breasted options of each (except for DB NC). As for pants, there are flat front and pleated black pants with a satin (or grosgrain) stripe on the outer seam. Anything outside of those options would simply be a trendy item you would look back on as we now look back on 70’s tuxedos in pastels with ruffled shirts.
