Friar Tux Shop

I was very satisfied with the customer service here. Everyone was very helpful in helping me select a tuxedo. There was a wide selection of tuxedoes to choose from. I would highly recommend this location to my friends.

Just got fitted for a tux. I would recommend this spot. The service was great. Carlos was amazing.

Friar Tux is great. The door was locked when we showed up so we were headed back to our car when someone from the store came out to get us and take care of our tux rental. Granted it was technically still a few minutes before closing (they must have locked up a smidge early), but nonetheless I appreciated them coming out to get us and saving us another trip.
The service was efficient and professional and both the pick up and drop were smooth. We wanted a slim fit tux for my bf, which they had, and the tux looked great on! Later, when we needed to rent the same tux for a different occasion, it was very easy as they were able to pull up the old measurements, and with short notice.
And with the Unilocal check-​in deal, the price is very reasonable. Our go to tux shop from now on.

Just got my tux. Everything worked out great. Got a cool green handkerchief woweee. I recommend this place over men’s warehouse for sure.

They gave me excellent service. I didn’t know much about black tie events. Carlos and Jefferson had all the answers.

Went to Friar Tux as my son has been invited to a Quinceañera party. Few things can try one’s patience as a young teenager trying on formal wear. Carlos was very patient. He answered my son’s questions. He humored him by letting his try on every option he wanted. And then gently guided him to the one that I knew his mother would approve. Well done.

Came in an hour before closing to get the boyfriend a tux for the same week. The manager was very accommodating and helpful, and it was super fast finding a tux and getting everything ordered.

Note: The tux I am getting is for a choir performance — not for a wedding.
Friar Tux Shop is the absolute BEST! I can’t believe the service that I got and the price that I got my tux. Amazing! So the first thing to note is that this particular Friar Tux Shop is not inside the South Coast Plaza mall. It’s actually next to it within the same plaza area. It’s in between the Sears and Nordstrom, near the Din Tai Fung. It is literally right next to Lucy’s Express Tailoring.
The shop is a bit smaller than what I thought it would be, but then again, I don’t go to many of these. However, their selection has variety — and they have many stores throughout SoCal. So if you wanted to pick up your tux at another store, it’s very doable. You just need to tell them ahead of time. Because it’s a bit smaller, when I came in, the associates were all busy helping everybody. I had to wait around 10 – 15 minutes for someone to finally be able to help me. But no complaints about that. I understand that things get busy.
When it was my turn to be helped, Trevor, one of the associates, was extremely nice and helpful in finding the right tux for me for my choir performance. He was so professional and so friendly in getting me the items that I needed. He took a couple of measurements and then proceeded to get me sample tux jackets, shirts, pants, and shoes. After picking out the sizes that I wanted (since the style was already chosen for me), he rang me up for the total. He told me that I qualified for a discount, which made the tux extremely affordable to buy.
It took me about 30 minutes to get everything in the system. EXTREMELY fast! I think it helped that I knew what I wanted. But even if I didn’t, I know that Trevor would’ve been patient in making sure I got the things that I liked.
I would absolutely recommend Friar Tux Shop — South Coast Plaza location to anybody. And if you want a specific associate to work with, Trevor’s your guy! Of course, the others seem very professional and nice as well, but I only worked with Trevor. Stand up guy!

My now husband, his groomsmen and both of our dads looked as handsome as can be on our wedding day thanks to Friar Tux. We went to the location in West LA on Wilshire and they were incredibly helpful and provided excellent service. They polished and shined my husbands cowboy boots for the wedding just to be nice! (and they were quite dirty!). They listed to what I wanted, provided great suggestions and we had zero issues with pickups or returns. Fair pricing and includes all the accessories needed. They even allowed some of the guys to pick up early since we were a sort of destination wedding. thanks Friar Tux!

Went through Friar Tux to outfit the groomsmen for my wedding. Carlos is the man… very helpful and knows his stuff. Jose was also very professional and helpful throughout the process. Happy to give discounts when able. Thanks guys!

Carlos was awesome to work with in setting up our wedding parties tux’s. He was organized, followed up and checked in with us, and answered any questions we had. This location was great and we are so happy to have worked with them for our wedding day! I really liked the selection of suits better here than at Men’s Warehouse. They also price match to MW. They set you up with a portal for your wedding party as well. This made it easy for our out of town groomsman to get measured and for us to make sure that everything was set for the big day! Thank you again!

The guys were incredibly helpful, kind, and knew what they were talking about! They made me look stylish:) definitely would suggest using them to my friends!

Carlos was very helpful. He worked well with me any my little ring bearer. Highly recommend!

Shopping for a tux for the Emmys, was happy with my experience here. Friar Tux offers great service and a good Unilocal discount. Carlos was very helpful!

My fiancée just chose his tuxedos after two visits. Both were around an hour and were nice and quick. Friar Tux may be small, but they offer a lot of options and colors. I bought my dress from their sister store, Alfred Angelo, so we got a discount at Friar Tux.
Jose was amazing! He offered helpful guidance, options in different price ranges, and advice on colors of tuxedos, ties, and pocket squares. He even found the pocket squares to match the bridesmaids’ dresses. He was calm, patient, and knowledgeable and didn’t pressure us in any way. In fact, we took every one of his suggestions (pocket square colors, black tuxedo for groom and charcoal gray for groomsmen). He triple checked our order to make sure it was correct. If you schedule an appointment, ask for Jose!

I went into Friars somewhat apprehensive because I figured that a place that carried so many different styles would be lacking in service. I was so wrong. Carlos and the gang totally helped me out and even worked out minor details like cufflink options and pocket squares. These guys really care about what they’re doing and I really appreciated that.

This place is great! They have lots of choices and were very helpful. Would recommend to everyone. Carlos one of the Managers helped us abd everything was pleasant as can be.

This place is awesome! Went to the big national rental place first and it was horrible. Won’t mention it by name but it rhymes with Men’s Warehouse.
Then we came here. Carlos was was super helpful and efficient: he navigated us through the many options, made good recommendations and even got everything set up online so all my groomsmen can get their tuxes ordered online. Was in and out before the wifey and I could even get into an argument about whether the groomsmen should all be wearing marching socks or not.

I’ve been to the other Friar Tux in Beverly Hills to rent a tux.
I came to this one to buy a pleated tux shirt emergently, as well as some bowties. I was not sure exactly what I wanted.
Free private parking right behind the building. Hours are decent (closes at 8pm). The guy who was helping me was the best. He was helpful in making choices and was fast and efficient. I ended up buying two bowties and a tux shirt.
I think in terms of pricing, renting doesn’t make much sense. Buying is so much more economical. Some of their better items are also for purchase only. You can try everything on while you’re there.

Not nearly as good as boutique tux shops in the area, and even Men’s Warehouse has this place beat. Service people weren’t knowledgeable, very limited selection, and the tuxes they do have are cheaper online (and close enough to not notice the difference). I would avoid at all costs and go down the road, there’s a few in this area that are way better.
