The Black Tux and Combatant Gentlemen are trying to drag men's suiting into the 21st century. Can we finally say goodbye to frumpy tuxes?
To hear men describe it, renting a tuxedo the old-fashioned way is hell. When Patrick Coyne went to Men's Wearhouse to get a tuxedo for his friend Andrew Blackmon's Santa Barbara wedding, he was astounded by the process. "Some guy measured me and was like, 'You're good to go,'" he explained. "Do I try anything on?" the 25-year-old business school grad asked. Apparently not. The first time he donned his groomsman attire was the day of the wedding, and frankly, the $250 outfit looked terrible. "I looked like an idiot," he said.
