Camillo’s Tuxedo Specialist

I decided that I wasn’t going to go to Joseph A Bank to rent a tux as I hate their clothes. Instead I went to Camillo’s. What a huge mistake. The garbage that they rent is a disgrace. I have a 36″ inseam. The pants they gave me had a 30″ inseam and a crotch that sagged 6″ below my actual crotch. To make matters worse, the pant leg on both sides had fabric pulls on them. I didn’t notice this until I was getting dressed.
When I returned the tuxedo and complained, Camillo himself tried to tell me that it was a brand new tuxedo. HA! Maybe in 1985. The shirt they gave me looked fine in the lighting in the store but in the sunlight when I got home I realized that it was tired and greyish. The vest pocket had been repaired so many times the fabric was frayed.
Don’t spend $ 180 renting this garbage unless you are going to a prom. THIS IS NOT the place to go for a wedding and definitely NOT the place for any kind of formal engagement.
Camillo’s parting vulgarity continued as I left. I was told that I am not welcome there and they don’t want customers like me. He barked that I can go spend a $ 1,000 on a tux next time. Sorry Camillo, I can buy a brand new Armani Tuxedo right now for $ 600. That’s a better way to spend my money than renting an aged tuxedo that served only to upset me.

A family-​run business, Camillo’s is a perfect example of «we’ve always done it this way» mentality. As a groom, I considered dressing in tails. The suggestions of the owner, likely a 2^nd generation operator, indicated to me that he was generally familiar with basic formal attire, but was out of his depths when greater sophistication was needed. Shockingly, he spent some effort attempting to instruct me on the basics, including an admonition of «no sagging». As a middle-​aged man wearing a tailored Hickey Freeman suit that WASN’T hanging off my hips, I realized this man was not only an idiotic, but racist, as well.
The store may be adequate for the down-​and-​dirty prom rental, but it is not a place to rely upon their expertise. Go to Stamford or Rye Brook for better options.

the owner is a rude man i would never get fitted or rent here again it got to the point where i couldnt even go in to the location after a talk with him over the phone. cussing. not a good business person no customer service. go else where. i did.

I was pretty stressed out about what to do with my Tux rental situation for my wedding, as all of my groomsman where out of state, in completely different states. I figured it’d be easiest to go with Men’s Warehouse or Jos A Bank, but I’ve heard nothing but nightmares about Men’s Warehouse, got terrible service from all of the Jos A Bank’s I went to in the area, and neither of them specialize in Tux’s.
Based on word of mouth and reviews I read online, I came here, and am definitely happy I did. They recommended I have my friends measured at tux places near them and send in the measurements, and the service I got was outstanding. They special ordered a jacket for me to better fit my upper body proportions (my arms are pretty long), knew exactly how a tux should fit and look, and their pricing was really good.
I definitely recommend the place to anyone looking to rent or buy a tuxedo.
