Frequently Asked Questions

“Used” is how we refer to all the merchandise we sell that is not New. The Used merchandise we sell is formerly rental merchandise. In fact, 99% of the Previously Owned merchandise that we are now selling is merchandise that we purchased new at the beginning of it’s lifetime. We like to think of our Used merchandise as “Worn, but not worn out!”

We can verify it has been taken care of, dry cleaned, and stored properly. All merchandise is clean and in wearable condition, and depending on how UPS or FedEx handled it while in transit to you, is typically wearable with a little light ironing or steaming.

We would not sell anything that we ourselves would not wear!

Possibly. We use internal codes and symbols to help identify exactly what our merchandise is. It is always in a concealed location that is not visible during wearing.

• In a Coat, there could be some text written on/in the inside pocket, a stitched in barcode, as well as manufacturer and/or wholesaler stitched in label.
• In a Trouser, there are typically the same markings and labels as a coat, only they’re inside the waistband.
• In a Shirt, the identifying marks are either in the back of the shirt, directly below the collar, or on the front tail (but that is tucked in).
• In a Vest, the identifying marks are inside the vest.
• In a Tie, the identifying marks are on the underside of the tie, or on the underside of the strap.

MyOwnTuxedo.com attempts to display product images shown on the site as accurately as possible. However, we cannot guarantee that the color you see matches the product color, as the display of the color depends, in part, upon the monitor you are using.

We spend a lot of time taking accurate pictures and making sure the merchandise on MyOwnTuxedo.com is portrayed accurately. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask us!

Finding the right pants to go with your order can be tricky, especially when there are so many options. To help, we’ve made some recommendations on every coat page. Still if you’d like to pick out your own, we’ve put together a few pointers so that you can feel confident doing so.

Rule of Thumb # 1: Match up fabrics. Whenever possible, make sure that your coat and pants are made out of the same material. Most (though not all) black formalwear is fashioned from tropical worsted wool, so we have several trousers styles that are also. You can view these trousers Here.

Rule of Thumb # 2: Check for patterns. Some coats have patterns on them, subtle or otherwise. Usually, these coats offer matching trousers with the same pattern. If available, the matching trousers are usually your best option. There should be links to these trousers on the coat product page.

Rule of Thumb # 3: Black usually works. It’s a common and accepted formal style to mix a white, grey, ivory, or navy coat with black pants. For an ivory coat, we may recommend the matching ivory trousers, but that doesn’t mean that black won’t work just as nicely. The difference is not one of quality, but just of personal preference.

It’s true! Any ‘Previously Owned’ pants that you purchase from MyOwnTuxedo.com are already hemmed, and ready to wear! No need to take your pants to a local alterations shop to be hemmed before wearing them.

All we need from you is your inseam, so we know what length to make them. If you are unsure what length your inseam is, you can get a local mens store or department store to tell you, or you can measure it yourself. It is the measurement on the inside of your leg, from the crotch of your pants, down your leg, to the point where you want the bottom of your pants to stop, preferably 1.5″ above the ground.

When dealing with very basic and classic styles, occasionally several manufacturers will make virtually identical products. Because there is very little to no visual or textile difference between these products, and because these products are often in high demand in large numbers, we’ve created a “Catch All” category called Classic Collection. For instance, 4 different manufacturers might make an identical cummerbund. Instead of listing 4 different cummerbund styles, we’ve listed them all under one style to better accommodate our customers. So, if you order several Classic Collection items online, you may notice several different labels for the same merchandise. This is why.

Some classic collection styles may consist almost entirely of one label, with only 5 -10% inventory dedicated to a matching style. Other styles may be a hodge-podge of various labels. However, if we have grouped these items together, they have our stamp of approval that 1.) they are identical enough to be worn together by a large party that needs to match, and 2.) that the picture listed online is representative of the product you will be receiving.
