Whether you're buying or renting, choose from in-store, online, or virtual styling options for ultimate convenience. We offer rentals or purchases to fit your preferences, offering personalized, in-store service and direct doorstep delivery.
For customers visiting us in-store:
For customers shopping online with us:
Most rental orders placed on our website typically arrive 14 days in advance of your event. During periods of high demand, a limited number of styles may arrive closer to 7-10 days before the event. If you’ve chosen to purchase products, merchandise will typically ship in 1-2 business days (plus, an additional day if order was placed during a weekend or holiday) and will be shipped ground from our west coast facility.
Our Customer Care Center is there to assist you with any needs you may have after receiving your order.
Within 48 hours of your event, use the return shipping kit included with your order to send back any rental items, if applicable.
The earlier the better.
For orders placed in-store:
With group orders, we like to have all party members fitted at least one month prior to the event. For single orders, like prom, we can accommodate last minute orders for many styles the week of the event with no rush fee. Some popular styles book out during the busiest months (like May) so booking early is always recommended.
For orders placed online:
Individual or group online orders need to be placed a minimum of 21 days prior to your event to avoid any rush charges.
As soon as you know the event details you can get your order(s) started, especially if you are coordinating a group. It’s best to give your group members as much time as possible.
If you would like to pick up your order in-store, your stylist can work with you to find a date that accommodates your travel plans. If your order will be shipped to you, it will typically arrive 14 days prior to the event. Should you need something replaced and items shipped to a different location just let us know at the time of request. You may visit friartux.com/contact to connect with us or call 877.320.0050 during regular business hours if you have any questions.
Yes. Our store locations and website have a variety of styles to serve many events, themes and fashion trends. Once you create an account online or in-store with a member of our staff, you can save and name looks for various members of your party. You may wish to set up wedding or quinceañera party members in slightly different styles. For example, a groom may be styled in one look, groomsmen in another, and the fathers in a third. After building your looks, you can send invites to your party members using our free, online event manager.
We offer a complete collection of new suits, tuxedos, and accessories for purchase. If browsing our website, please select the ‘buy’ filter when viewing the product galleries to see those items. Our rental items are only available for rental and cannot be purchased.
Friar Tux has a vast collection of accessory colors to match the current wedding and bridesmaid color trends. If you need assistance with color matching, our Customer Care Center is here to help. We also offer complimentary fabric swatches to keep if you need to confirm colors or use them for other planning.
This service is available for engaged couples planning a wedding. Please visit friartux.com/swatches to get started.
Visit us in-store, or simply follow the prompts on our website using the Fit Finder tool. Answer a few basic questions to enter your body information, and our algorithm will produce your sizes. Orders are also reviewed by an expert fitting specialist prior to the order being produced.
Friar Tux can fit a very wide range of shapes and sizes. In most coat styles for rental we carry young adult size 14 up to a 66 Long. Some styles are available starting at a size 3 (i.e. average 3-year-old) up to a big & tall adult. We offer pants, shirts, and vests to fit the same size range and offer both slim and modern fit in many products. Our shoes run from men’s size 6 to a men’s size 18 wide, and boys’ shoes are available in sizes 8 to 5.5. Please check individual styles for available size ranges.
You can also opt to buy your suit/tuxedo and have it custom tailored.
To make changes, please contact us via phone at 877-320-0050, start a chat on our website, send us an email detailing the changes you’d like, or visit us in-store.
If your order is currently in processing and the event is less than 30 days away, a fee for changing the style or size will be incurred. Similarly, if your in-store pickup location needs to be changed within the 30-day window, a fee will be charged for the change. For orders being shipped, rush fees and/or extra shipping charges may apply.
For Shipped Orders:
We’re committed to great fitting items. Once you receive your order, please try on all items within 48 hours. If you have questions about the fit, we recommend calling our Customer Care Center at 877.320.0050 for faster service.
If replacement items are needed for a better fit, they will be shipped to you free of charge via ground service from our California fulfillment center if you contact us within 48 hours of delivery. In some cases, you may be able to request faster shipping service at your own expense. After 48 hours, replacement items may be subject to rush shipping fees, so give us a call early to avoid these charges.
If contacting us about replacements via email, photos of you wearing the item(s) needing replacement are helpful.
If your rental items fit well but you prefer a longer or shorter coat sleeve or pant hem, you can take the garment to a local tailor for a temporary alteration. Please make sure the person making the alteration does not cut the fabric. With a receipt from the tailor, we’ll credit your order up to $15 to cover the cost of the alteration. Just email a copy of your receipt along with your name and order number to [email protected]. In addition, any Friar Tux location is available to assist with an exchange or on-site alteration on Friar Tux merchandise for purchase for an additional fee.
For Orders Picked Up In-Store:
When you pick up your order, we encourage you to try on your garments at the store to ensure you are happy with the fit. Our stylists will verify the correct fit and will assist with any adjustments. If any items need to be adjusted or exchanged, an additional visit to the store may be required.
Yes, the waistband on most of our pants has elastic stretch, providing comfort and the perfect fit. We offer belts for purchase in-store and online to be worn with our selection of suit pants. However, our pants do not have suspender buttons so if you want to wear suspenders, make sure they have clips, or buy them from us as well.
A $40 deposit at time of fitting is required. If you’d like to have your order shipped to you, full payment is required. If you are placing an order online, full payment will be collected. The balance can be paid online at friartux.com/payment.

Friar Tux uses UPS for most shipments. In some cases, UPS may use a third-party service, like USPS, for final delivery to your chosen destination.
Your order can be shipped anywhere within the contiguous United States (which excludes Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). We do not ship internationally. In the event of shipping delays, we will work with the shipping company to get your order to you as quickly as possible but are not responsible for delays caused by weather, mechanical error, inaccurate shipping information, carrier drop-off policies or other reasons out of our control. If your shipping address is to a PO Box, Military Base, hotel or other non-residential/business address, please contact our call center to work out the details in advance. Additionally, your delivery address must be within the contiguous USA. (If you are shipping to a hotel, please confirm with them that they accept deliveries. We are not liable if the hotel denies your delivery.)
If you plan to travel outside of the continental U.S., please notify us so that we can work with you to set up shipping timelines/speeds to fit your travel plans (this will most likely have an additional cost to cover the longer timeline or faster shipping). If you return your order from outside the continental U.S., your credit card will be charged for any additional shipping cost incurred.
We will be happy to help accommodate a style change after your order has shipped.
Customers will be responsible for paying for just the shipping cost when requesting a new tie, pocket square, suspenders, socks or studs/cufflinks.
If a new coat, pants, shirt, vest, or shoe style is needed, customers will be responsible for paying for both the rental cost of the new item(s) as well as the shipping.
Regular/rush shipping fees vary depending on your location and the amount of time prior to the event. Please contact our Customer Care Center at 877.320.0050 for details.
If you are near a Friar Tux location, feel free to return your order there during business hours. Visit our locations page for a list of showrooms.
If we shipped your order to you, your package will include a return kit consisting of a soft shipping bag with a prepaid address label and return instructions. Simply fold the garments into the bag, seal it and take it to a UPS drop point. This can be a UPS drop box, UPS store, Staples store or Office Depot store. Visit ups.com/dropoff for a location near you. Please ship your order back within 48 hours after your event to avoid a $20/day late fee.
If you return your order from outside the continental U.S., your credit card will be charged for any additional shipping cost incurred.
If you need to keep the items longer, please feel free to contact our Customer Care Center and let us know your plans. Depending upon the number of extra days you need to keep it, extended rental fees may apply. Extended rental fees are $10 per day for up to 3 days. If additional days are needed, please contact our Customer Care Center for pricing and details. Note that we may not always be able to accommodate extensions on rentals.
While we make every effort to return lost items to their owners, Friar Tux is not responsible for any personal items left in any of our clothing or return packaging. Please double check all your pockets prior to your return. In the event you believe you have left something, please contact our Customer Care Center and we'll do our best to track it down.
If you cancel your order 30 days or more prior to your event, a full refund of the rental fee can be issued. If you contact us within 48 hours of receiving your garments to cancel your order, the garments are unused, and are returned via UPS within 72 hours of you receiving the order, you will receive a full refund minus a $60 shipping and handling fee for shipped orders and $40 for orders picked up in-store.
You may return or exchange unworn and unaltered items with the tags on them or in the original packaging within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.
With most merchandise, yes, with select exceptions. We recommend you contact our Customer Care Center in advance of visiting a store for details.
If your order is received with missing items, we will contact you to see if you still have the items. If you can return them, you will receive credit for the return and avoid a replacement fee. Items not returned within 8 days after the event will be charged the complete replacement value for all missing items.
The replacement costs are as follows:
After you try everything on, return the items to their hangers and keep them hanging neatly. All garments are professionally prepared and pressed prior to shipping, but some minor wrinkles may occur during shipment. Hanging garments promptly after trying on will allow any minor wrinkles to lessen. Hanging up the items in a bathroom with shower steam can be helpful. If necessary, you can use a steamer to remove minor wrinkles but please do not use a hot iron directly on the garments as it could damage them.
Not at all. Upon return to the Friar Tux service center, all items are scanned in, inspected, and then dry cleaned or laundered using eco-friendly processes.
If your order was created prior to 6/24/24 and was charged a Garment Handling Fee, it will cover minor repairable damage that may have occurred. If the item is deemed to be damaged beyond repair, then a replacement item fee may be billed to your account.
