Friar Tux Shop was founded in May of 1974 in Lakewood, California. In the beginning there was one energetic young man running the shop. From early on, however, there was plenty of family support: Mom provided the catchy name and Dad provided a vision. Brother joined in soon to help with the increase in business. The...

Reviews for Friar Tux Shop (Torrance)
The staff gets five stars but the tuxes get three stars.
Staff does a great job of making sure that everyone is happy with the orders. Highly recommend trying on the tux before taking it home. Our groom had to change both his vest and jacket for various reasons. Friar Tux was able to do that by the next day so we didn't even notice the hiccup.
The tuxes themselves are not flattering. Even in the right size they are ill-fitting. We got some of the nicer tuxes and they still in my opinion looked cheap because of the fit and the quality of the fabric.
In the end, the groom's happy he was in a rented tux because he could get all the dirt and sweat all he wanted on it and not worry about ruining any of his own suits.
We got all the wedding party tuxes at Friar Tux. It was very easy. The only thing I didn't like (think my husband was fine with it :) was that you couldn't try on any prior to see the different styles or how they fit. We were just told they all fit the same. Which as women.. you know that can't be true :)
And you also had to have the tuxes back the next day which was a tid bit difficult.
But overall - good choices and a very simple process, even if you have people from out of town - which we had several.
I would for sure recommend
They did a fantastic job! We picked our tuxedos up the Thursday before the wedding and they had all the tuxedos were the correct size. Unfortunately, one of my usher's found out he had to work on my wedding day the week before the wedding, so we ended up cancelling his tuxedo. On Friday, his boss told him he could have Saturday off. I called them Friday afternoon to see if there was anyway I could get the tuxedo by that evening. They told me it wouldn't be a problem, and they would have it by 3pm.
We had a great experience with this shop. It was easy to send in everyone's measurements even for our out of town guys. We got one of the higher grades of tuxes and they looked great. I was surprised that they had the right color vests and ties to match the girl's dresses.
My husband got his tux, and his groomsmens tux. They were great and the price was reasonalble. There were 7 groomsmen.
Thanks Sandy
