Measuring for a tux
Jennifer G.

We needed a tux last minute for prom and they were so accommodating! The customer service was amazing and you can tell they like Prom season. The owner was asking for pictures and complementing the kids. She made them feel like leading men!

Tuxedo try-on, back.
Wolfram A.

This outfit is a fantastic place to rent tuxedos. I needed one for a wedding in Chicago, but had only a vague idea of what I would require exactly, as this was my first time wearing a tuxedo. The second I stepped into the shop, the friendly staff had sized me up and recommended a slim or ultra-slim fit. She briefly ran me through the different fabric and style options they had mocked up on the mannequins. I tried three and found the perfect one in a matter of minutes. The shirt was similarly easy, along with other accoutrements like cufflinks and pocket square. The lady who helped me, Faye, has been in the business for several decades and knows what's she's doing. She keeps a very large selection of sizes and styles in stock, so nothing has to be compromised. She made the whole experience easy and effortless. The final result looked fantastic, and I got lots of kudos from my wife and other wedding guests. Moreover, this was an out-of-town event for me, so when I came back to Chicago, they delivered the tuxedo right to the hotel and picked it up from there again. And the pricing was very reasonable. They were also very responsive on the phone. I can't say enough good things about Monitor Formalwear. Look nowhere else.

See all

When I griped about having to rent a tux, the incredibly patient and hospitable Faye suggested buying a tux.

My husband went in with a very clear vision, and wanted to get his feet wet at Men's Wearhouse, but…read morethey did not deliver. I will say Devon was the absolute best person to work with and did an amazing job, but the limited resources at MW is insane in a bad way. Online they "highly" suggested that if the bridal party is wearing ballet pink, the groomsmen wear gray. Well, we definitely didn't want gray, so we asked to see navy, and Devon did an excellent job seeing our vision through and even agreed it looked far better than gray. However, the main reason for 2 stars is because this place is TINY. My fiancé wasn't satisfied just seeing pictures, and was insistent on trying it on (much the same way I would never buy a wedding dress while just looking at pictures!). This place has "basics," but obviously nothing more. No slim cut pants. Nothing but basic white shirts with no differing collars. Just standard, run-of-the-mill, single option things. We just left wanting more. Way more. Am I thankful for Devon? YES! He was amazing and deserves a million praises for seeing our vision through. However, in terms of leaving satisfied with a complete look, you won't find that here. Also, after looking at wedding pictures of people who used MW, it really confirmed we made the right choice. There's nothing worse than an ill-fitting suit on your groom and/or groomsmen!

Great service. One of the employees who is leaving scheduled us for a appointment on Sunday before…read morethe store was supposed to open. Alliyah still accommodated us and honored our appointment which was amazing. Alliyah was super helpful and made sure our wedding tuxedo rental went smoothly, even though we were cutting it close to the wedding date. Recommend 100%!!!

PLEASE READ BEFORE CONSIDERING THIS BUSINESS FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY!…read more They gave two groomsmen the wrong colored tie and ruined our wedding photos that we spent thousands of dollars on. The standard of work between the Aurora and Orland stores is pathetic. The groomsmen who got their suits just knew a tie was present, they had no idea it was the wrong colored tie. We didn't figure out they were wrong until the groomsmen were getting ready and my husband asked one of the guys if he brought his own tie... They clearly didn't care enough to check the suits thoroughly which they are literally paid to do.... Prior to the wrong colored ties we were already upset we had to make a second trip the day before our wedding to pick up our suit orders that needed to be fixed due to pants with holes in the pocket, stains on multiple white shirts (including the grooms) and one order sent without the vest... So multiple people in the party had make extra trips to the stores the two days before our wedding because nothing was right the first time. All they offered in return for their HUGE mistake was half the money back for the two suits they mismatched the ties.... And the lady saying "she wanted to cry for me". At this point we should have all our money back for the lack of attention and effort put into their business when this is such an important day for their paying customers. Moral of the story this business did not make our wedding day any less stressful than it already was and if anything gave us more problems and stress. Also, looking at this picture literally breaks my heart considering all of the time, effort and money that was put in this day ruined by their carelessness. Update: now they are using our photo I provided in this review as their main picture. Such a disrespect to a customer they completely let down. This is the type of business they are running. But see for yourself how they couldn't even get our order correct for our special day!

The lady in the front was so unwelcoming with no intention of doing business. Atraight away…read morereccomended other stores like suit shpply, mens warehouse and even their lincoln park store without even hearing the need and requirement. Spent 2 minutes, horrible expirience.
