The Company
What We Do
Founded in 2013 by a groom and a groomsman who had a frustrating rental experience, The Black Tux is reinventing formal wear. We help people stand out for the right reasons by designing modern suits and tuxedos that look great, fit better and can be ordered online without a trip to the tux shop.
