Karl’s Tuxedos

Karl, oh sweet Karl’s Tuxedos. How do I love thee, let me count the ways… one tuxedo, two tuxedos, three tuxedos, four. Karl’s Tuxedos is home of the $ 35 dollar tux and one of the most approachable owners and ridiculously helpful staff in the ‘Olé Spring-​to-​the-​field. Karl’s began as nothing more than the twinkle in the eye of the man himself, Karl Jones; young and new to the world of formal fashion he started his business with the promise of reasonable prices to people who want to look like they spent a fortune on tuxedos, an ideal still held by Karl’s Tuxedos decades after it’s inception. Now, before I go any further — I know what you’re thinking…”$ 35 dollars — psh-​shaa, I bet that tuxedo looks cheap.” Au contraire mon freire, the $ 35 dollar tux looks equally as «haute couture» as, say, the $ 90 tuxes — and as a matter of fact, the lapel style on the $ 35 dollar tux can be found the tuxes worn by Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man and a majority of the formal wear seen in Batman: The Dark Knight. Which, as far as I’m concerned is a testament to Karl Jones personal style and the effort he puts into giving his customers a top of the line product. Concerning the business itself, Karl’s prides itself on customer service and friendliness — and actually his employees are fun to work with when either registering for a wedding or booking for a prom. They are hell bent on providing the best possible experience to people who are usually in a tuxedo shop for the fist time in their lives, or have never actually set up tuxedo rentals for any other purpose than this-​wedding-​that-​is-​only-​like-​two-​weeks-​away and are panicked that they’ve run out of time, of which will never be the case at Karl’s because all their inventory is kept in Springfield so no overnighting anything with the hopes that it might fit… it will fit every time and if it doesn’t then they’ll fix either right in the store or at the north Springfield location where all of Karl’s tuxedos are kept, (whew, long sentence, sorry). Needless to say, Karl’s is the way to go, tuxedo wise. You shouldn’t be disappointed, and you happen to hit the Battlefield location, ask for Dukeanno and say «Booga, booga, booga, «tell him Flava Dave sent’cha, he’ll know what you mean.
