Tuxedos for Elwood clients
If you attend black-tie events regularly, owning a tuxedo cut for you is often more practical than relying on hire.
Black tie leaves little room for compromise. A tailored tuxedo gives you clean lines, the right trouser length and a jacket that sits properly all evening.
Elwood clients often ask for lighter cloths that stay comfortable at summer weddings and events by the water.
Bayside clients often plan one longer visit for their first fitting and make reorders from the measurements we keep on file.
Most Elwood clients make the 7 km trip to 214 Bridge Road twice: once to design and measure, once for the second fitting.
Neighbours in Elsternwick, St Kilda and Brighton often come in together for group and wedding orders.
We see clients from across City of Port Phillip, including Elwood (3184).
We don't hand your garment over until you're happy with the fit. Any adjustments are made by our in-house tailor.

Tuxedos questions
Which lapel should I choose?
Shawl and peak lapels are the classic black-tie choices; a notch lapel is more relaxed. We will show you how each looks on you.
Can I get a midnight navy tuxedo?
Yes. Midnight navy and black are both traditional, and we can show you other cloths too.
Do you make tuxedo shirts?
Yes. Dress shirts are made to your measurements as well.
Can the groom wear a tuxedo and groomsmen wear suits?
Yes. We can coordinate cloths and details so the group looks considered.
What if the fit is not right at the second fitting?
We do not hand your garment over until you are happy with the fit. Our in-house tailor makes the adjustments.

Yes. Measurements, patterns and alteration notes are kept on file, which makes repeat orders faster and usually removes the need for multiple fittings.
