Where to get wedding tux?

[erebakish]

Hey all, I'm located in Toronto and I'm looking for a tux for my wedding (budget ~1200) and I've been checking out a couple of options that I'd like some feedback on. I've never bought a tux before so I definitely need some guidance so I don't make any silly mistakes.

First: Suitsupply's black tie package for $900

https://ca.suitsupply.com/en_CA/campaign?c=eveningwear&from=artofblacktie

Pros: price, SS seems to be good quality from what I've read up on here, won't need to buy anything else
Cons: off the rack, limited customization, not sure how comfortable the shoes are

Second: Harry Rosen MTM Munro package: $1150

Price and description in first link

I believe this may be the tuxedo that they customize?
https://www.harryrosen.com/en/clothing/tailored-clothing/tuxedos/munro/slim-fit-tuxedo/p/20007547

Pros: MTM, customizable, apparently Munro makes SS suits so quality should be the same(?)
Cons: Pricier, doesn't include shoes like SS

Spier and Mackay: MTM starts at $875. Not sure what that includes.
Had a good experience with them before, but haven't seen any of their tux offerings.

Any other feedback as to which is better would be appreciated. Ultimately trying on suits is how I've decided what feels best for me, but with MTM I don't know how realistic that will be. I tried to do a search beforehand on munro but there's been very little info on here or elsewhere...all I know is that it's half canvassed according to the sales rep.

Alternatively if I should go in a completely different direction, I'd appreciate some guidance on that as well (keeping my budget in mind). Style wise I do want to keep things fairly straightforward though: black tux, shawl or peak lapel, black bowtie.

Thanks in advance

Go with Suit Supply.

MTM is not necessarily always a pro. It really depends on the person measuring/fitting you as well as the standard block pattern that the manufacturer uses as a starting point for MTM.

If the Suitsupply tux fits off the rack (or only requires limited tailoring to fit) then go with that. alternatively, if you already know that one of the Spier and Mackay OTR models fits well then their MTM is more likely to work out.

I'm in a similar position. I want to like Suit Supply, but I just can't. Quality is crap and no one has been able to convince me their suits/tuxedos aren't fused. They all feel fused as hell when doing the wool pull test.

I'm actually contemplating going with a Chocolate Brown tuxedo even though it's not ideal. There's a Zegna online for $1700 which is a good price.

The SS tuxedo is half canvassed. There is fusing in the lower part of the jacket. This is true of virtually all half canvassed jackets to give some support to the jacket front. The pinch test only applies to a fully canvassed jacket.
Wouldn’t recommend a brown tux as your wedding tux.

Benjamin tuxedo. Best price to quality ratio. Also it's a classic style.

That is a good suggestion. Though they have very few sizes in stock currently and I find their jackets very short (unfortunately).

Labels are irrelevant. You need to try on the jackets to see how it fits. Nothing else matters if it doesn’t fit.

How would I know how something MTM fits beforehand though? Otherwise I do agree, I'll have to try the SS tux first since it's OTR.

Exactly why MTM is a riskier proposition than OTR.

Exactly.

If you are interested in a very traditional classical tux
that will be in style( more or less) for decades, check
out O'Connells just across the border. They only have
notch lapel, which is very Ivy. I have a similar tux from
Paul Stuart for decades. Their current offerings are more
stylish and expensive:

I'd prefer to find a local place if possible. Any other reputable stores in the Toronto area with good tuxedos at the price point mentioned in my original post?
