My high school senior needed two suits for upcoming proms, one blue and one black, with different color accessories. Not knowing where to start, a family member suggested we visit Carl Anthony tuxedo. We walked in and were greeted immediately. Our sales person, Taylor, made the process quick and easy. She went through the options of renting vs buying a suit and took some measurements. She asked a few questions to narrow down the accessories (vest, suspenders, bow tie, traditional tie, shoes etc) and brought over a few jackets for my son to try on. We decided to rent the blue suit (for $229 which comes with a button down shirt you get to keep, plus a tie, and shoes to wear for the event) and buy the black suit (for $299 plus alterations) She took our deposit and we were done. We were in and out in 30 minutes and totally happy with our selections. Next up, sizing, alterations, and pickup. Hoping the next step goes as smooth as our visit today. read more

We came to Carl Anthony Tuxedo to help my sister's fiancé find a wedding suit--to buy, not rent. Unfortunately, the experience was disheartening and left us feeling ignored and unwelcome. After we arrived, multiple white customers came in after us and were helped immediately--greeted, toured through the store, and shown suit options by several staff members. Meanwhile, we were told to "look around" and left standing without any assistance. This happened repeatedly--each time a white couple entered, they were prioritized while we were overlooked. The most blatant moment was when a white couple was shown matching shoes right in front of us, while we stood less than a foot away still waiting. No one in our group is white, and the stark contrast in treatment felt racially motivated. We waited over 30 minutes before someone finally came over to help us, and even then, the staff member seemed visibly annoyed that we were trying on suits. This was supposed to be a celebratory moment for a groom preparing for his big day. Instead, it became a frustrating experience marked by unequal treatment. We truly hope this business reflects on how it treats all its customers moving forward. read more

My husband and I went to Carl Anthony Tuxedo with a specific vision on what we wanted for our wedding party and we were blown away! Dan was extremely helpful and personable--he truly has a good eye for color coordination and matching the formality of the occasion with tuxedos versus suits. We personally did not gravitate towards a "matchy-matchy" wedding party where everyone wore the exact same suit, but Dan coordinated every single outfit for the groomsmen, the father of the bride, father of the groom, and the ring bearers where each style complemented each other and catered to each person's features. His timeline was spot on and his prices are beyond reasonable. Even as a bride, Dan offered insight which helped me find just the right shade of ivory/white for groomsmen button ups and flower girl dresses (through a picture on my phone!) so as not to clash with my wedding dress. He offered us the most affordable option for ring bearer outfits, which was great, because everything wedding gets pretty pricey with all the little details. Sizing for everyone was spot on--impressive, since we got married AFTER the holidays. The staff there was also very friendly and responsive. Definitely a great experience--Dan is extremely knowledgable with impeccable taste. Wish we could give more than 5 stars! read more

The store staff treated my teenaged boy with respect and patience. They gave him options and advice in picking out his first tux for a winter formal. It was a great experience overall and my son looked great and was super comfortable for the night! read more

Told them i was in two wedding parties in 2 days and wouldnt have time to try the tux on before going to my second wedding. They gave me a shirt wayyy too small. I noticed that they take on too much business on at once and couldnt keep up. The guy said he would mail me a $50 check for the shirt not fitting. Never got it. Go somewhere else. read more

I had to rent 3 suits for my boys for my sisters wedding on 5/22.. personally I think they are extremely over priced for the quality of the suits and the miserable service! Once we got to the wedding I went o put the shoes on my 4 year old and they looked like somthing that should of been thrown out over a year ago.. I had to send my husband to go buy a pair! I would not recommend using them for your suit rental place! read more

Where to start? Dan and his staff at Carl Anthony are true pros at what they do! They are very accommodating, understanding, helpful, & available. I would recommend them to everyone for anyone's wedding and prom needs, etc. I wasn't easy to deal with, but they did everything and beyond to put together the perfect suit for my wedding. Thanks Dan I look forward to using you guys again for any suit, tux, or tailoring needs! read more

Carl Anthony's was recommended by a few people that used them for their wedding, so we chose to go with them for our wedding as well..... I was very pleased with the assortment of suits and tuxedos they had... They had a pretty good price range to fit in any budget, but the quality of the tuxedos was not sacrificed in any way. I liked the fact that each tux was fit to order, and that they had hundreds of tuxedos in stock. Unlike many other places where the tuxes look beaten and worn (and have that prom-like appearance), the tuxedos at Carl Anthony's look new, as if they never had to be tailored each week. They offer pretty good discounts for wedding parties, and their staff is very friendly. I would definitely recommend them to any wedding party out there!!! read more

The best place to get a tux. A great run business with excellent customer service. They are really attentive and make sure you are 100% satisfied. They have a great selection with high quality items. One of the best run businesses in RI. read more

Worst customer service ever!!! The woman was so rude to us and seemed annoyed to help us!!! We've never rented a suit before so we weren't sure what we needed or what was included in the rental and she never even had a conversation with us! She barked questions at us and seemed annoyed if I didn't answer quickly enough! I would never go back there! read more

We used Carl Anthony for our tuxedo needs in October for our wedding. The staff was courteous and professional, while also willing to take input from me and let me try on different sizes and see how I would look. Recommended! read more

These guys run a really great business. We had 9 men total in our wedding party of all heights and sizes and they were able to accomidate us with ease. They have tons of options at very reasonable prices. They even had a deal running where my [now] husband got his suit for free. Our guys were all over the NE, so they just needed measurements from them from any store, instead of having them all come to RI to get fitted. They had a fitting for the guys the day before and even came to the hotel to pick up the suits the day after the wedding. The guys looked awesome and I totally recommend them. read more

If I could give Carl Anthony Tuxedo 10 stars, I would! They are the ultimate formal wear specialists! I cannot thank Dan and his team enough for the amazing tuxes for our 8/31 wedding. Every single stitch was absolutely perfect! Dan is hard working, dedicated, sincere and one of the most professional Wedding Pro's I have ever met. I am a wedding planner and I recommend Dan to every single one of my clients because I know I can count on him to make everything absolutely perfect. It was an easy choice to get our wedding attire here and it was a true pleasure to work with Dan. I will continue to recommend Carl Anthony to every couple in need of formal wear. They are the ULTIMATE professionals! read more

I went to Carl Anthony tuxedo with my husband last week to have a suit altered period while there a man, who I believe to be the owner, spoke about an inventory of shoes that he had mistakenly purchased. He explained he had no use for the shoes. I mention that I work in a high school with students who can't necessarily always afford such luxuries as dress shoes. It's currently prom and graduation season and I have a lot of students who may avoid these events because they don't have appropriate dress. The man then offered me the whole lot of mistaken inventory. He could have sold them or even returned them. Instead he made a very generous donation. We at Juanita Sanchez educational complex are very thankful to the wonderful people at Carl Anthony Tuxedo in Cranston. Also, for the record, they did the tuxes for my wedding, my brother's wedding, and my brother-in-law's wedding. We are excellent service each time and will never go anywhere else.#kindnesscounts read more

I am totally satisfied with Carl Anthony Tuxedo - I needed a suit for an exclusive party that i was invited to at the last minute. They fitted me in no time and put me in a suit that absolutely POPPED at the party. It was a Halloween party and I was a former President so I had to look good. Alot of the partygoers remarked on how good I looked. I cant think of another tuxedo shop in Cranston that is as easy-going as Carl Anthonys. Go there! read more
