JAMES & JAMES FORMALWEAR IN-STORE RENTAL BASICS
How do I rent from James & James?
Step by step process of renting from us.
1. Stop by our store during operating hours or make an appointment online.
2. Receive professional advice on selecting that perfect outfit.
3. Get measured by one of our formalwear specialist.
4. Pick up your outfit two days before your event.
5. Have a great time at your party.
6. Return your outfit two days after your event.
​
How far in advance should I place my order?
We recommend one to two months in advance. If your event is a few weeks away, stop by our store and we will guide you on what you should wear to the type of event. The thing that separates us the most from any other store is same-day service. You received a last minute invite to a wedding, or you simply forgot? Do not worry, we have you covered. Most other companies cannot say the same.
When should I return my rental?
Our rental policy requires that you send back your order within two days of your event. Otherwise, late fees may apply. If for some reason, you cannot return your items in 2 days due to travel or other circumstances, please contact our store and we will be happy to work with you.
What brands do you carry?
We have invested in the highest quality tuxedos and suits by partnering with world famous brands. We carry top notch tuxedo designers including, but not limited to, Michael Kors, Ike Behar, Perry Ellis, Ralph Lauren, Enzo Tovare, Calvin Klein, Madison James, London Fog, Mantoni, and Bertolini.
​
Can I buy a rental from you?
We do not sell our rental items. We do have a retail section in store where you can find a variety of items for purchase.

​
What if one or more of my items do not fit?
Call us within 48 hours of receiving your garments to take advantage of our fit guarantee, and we will send a replacement.
​
When do I receive the tuxedo?
We ship your suit or tuxedo 12 days before your event and you will typically receive it on your front doorstep at least a week before the event.
​
Is there an Extended Rental Option?
Yes, for timelines outside of our normal processing, shipping and returns we do offer extended rentals. E-mail us at jamesformalwear956@gmail.com
​
Q: How soon before my event do I need to place my order?
A: For weddings, we recommend booking three weeks prior to your event so we can ship it out to you and have a full week with the tuxedo.
​
What if I am traveling the week of the event?
We make it very easy. Typically, we will send the tuxedo to your home and if any items do not fit, then we send the replacement gear to your destination. For example, if you are traveling on Wednesday for a wedding in another town (like a hotel), then you would receive your tuxedo at home on Tuesday and replacements would be sent to the wedding destination by Thursday (at the hotel, if applicable).
​
Does the suit get wrinkled?
We use wrinkle-free sleeves, in-box hangers, and perfectly sized boxes to make sure everything is shipped wrinkle free. We recommend to hang your gear up once you receive it. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee the items to be wrinkle free upon arrival, but a quick steam should do the trick.
​
When do I need to return the tux?
The first business day after the event - this is typically the Monday following a weekend wedding.
​
Where do re-fits/fixes get delivered?
We can deliver anywhere. Typically, we send resizes to the customer address on hand, but we can also deliver to hotels.
