You can do just about anything online these days. Renting a tux should NOT be one of them. Why? To start with:

Face-to-face interaction matters. Meeting the tailor, touching the fabric, and determining the best garment for a wedding party of different sizes are all critical steps in the selection process. A tailor can help to find the best look and fit for all shapes and sizes as well as provide the confidence needed to assure a quality fit.

The tailor does not come in the box. We've all ordered clothing online with high expectations only to receive an ill-fitting garment. While the whole tux-in-a-box idea sounds convenient, the truth is, it often leaves customers frustrated.

Boxes are for sending mail, not tuxedos. Shipped tuxes get wrinkled and scrunched up. A tailor will hand your garment to you fully pressed and ready to go. Having your garment professionally pressed one last time before the big day is a critical step in the entire process.
