If you want great service, quality tuxedos, and a local business, go to Lustre Formal Wear. Literally a block from the Capitol, Tony and his wife own this business the last many years. Although they do same service without extra charges, I came to Tony a month ahead of a formal wedding. Going on a Friday afternoon, there was no wait. Tony measured, fitted, and built the right tuxedo for me with matching shoes. The cost was around $250. The entire fitting experience took around 20 minutes! If you're hungry, visit Le Bon Cafe for French toast afterwards. read more

Excellent business. We called last minute same day tux rental before an event and they were able to help. Very friendly and helpful.

Received last minute invitation to a gala and my purchased tux was far too big after having lost weight... couldnt find my studs . Saw the reviews for Lustre bc it was local and took a chance. Result: Excellent service and selection. Bonus: I couldnt locate the included studs/cuff links the day of (they were in the breast pocket -- noted) and was expecting to be nickel and dimed about getting another set. Not even an issue. The Ike Behar euro cut tux that was recommended received many compliments. Just a great experience. read more

Fast, friendly and professional service from Tony to get fitted for a tuxedo rental. Was able to pick up the tuxedo and accessories 4 hours after the fitting. Excellent service - and I received compliments on the tuxedo at our function the next evening. Highly recommend this establishment. read more

This place was clutch! I was in town for a conference and needed a tux rental with only two days advance notice. The service was fantastic and they delivered on time as promised. In fact, I had to catch a flight home Sunday and they came to my hotel to pick up the tux. If you're in DC and need formal wear, you won't be disappointed by here. read more

Went there recently to rent a tux for a weekend black-tie event. I had my measurements taken promptly, tried on a jacket, shirt, pants, and shoes, and within 20-30 minutes was all set to pick up the tux in a few days. Pickup went smoothly, though I tried the jacket and pants on to be sure, and I looked great. Returning it was as easy as dropping off. Their hours and location (near Cap South metro) are very convenient, and the staff is as nice as can be. This has been my easiest and best tux renting experience to date, and I recommend them wholeheartedly. read more

Great expertise, incredible service and unbelievably reasonable prices. I drove halfway across town to come here and you should too!

Best experience with top notch staff. Even during COVID times was able to be sized and fitted to perfection walking out the door with tux in hand. Dorian was above my expectations and very professional. She helped with all the questions I had and very flexible. I came down with unforeseen delays on being able to to return the rental on time and she worked around my schedule to making the return stress free. Can't recommend enough. Go see Dorian at Lustre Formal you won't be upset with how you look! read more

Lustre Formal Wear - Looking sharp for my sisters wedding - Men's Clothing Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Cannot say enough good things about Lustre! We used them (last minute due to poor planning on my end) to tailor my bridal jumpsuit and rent my husband's tux and our son's suit (with him not physically present until the day before) for our wedding. Tony went above and beyond - including staying open late and having their tailor come during off hours - to accommodate our schedule and have everything perfect for our big day. read more

What an amazing experience! We worked with Tony on a wedding ceremony and he gave us terrific service. He was extremely professional, courteous, patient, and helpful. He gave us great suggestions and options that would allow us to put the perfect touches on our tuxedos! Whenever my family needs formal wear in the future, Tony will get our business! read more

Brian and Dorian were not only excellent but above and beyond. I landed at 5pm and was at the store by 6pm to get fitted for an event the next day. My tuxedo was ready by 10:00am the next day. It fit and looked great. I asked for a barber shop that could clean me up before the ever . Dorian recommended a place near by that was wonderful. Came back to the shop after to wait for an Uber and good conversation. I left my tuxedo at the hotel as I have an early flight and Brian offers a pickup service. I highly recommend. read more

Attentive, accurate, and fast! Bright three suits, two pants, and a shirt to be fixed in a pinch! Got it done! Best part: when I picked up my cloths, they said remember: if you are not satisfied, come back within 2 - 3 weeks and we can modify further. How nice! Will be coming back. It isn't cheap. But well worth it. read more

Needed a unique tux for an out-of-town wedding and tried Lustre for the first time. Tony did a great job listening to the need, discussing different options, taking the measurements and clearly communicating the process and timing. When I went back to pick up the tux, a slight alteration was still needed to extend the trouser legs and Tony took care of that in the moment. I'd imagine this isn't the least expensive tux rental shop in DC. But I'll return here for sure. The professionalism, expertise and service were all stellar. The process couldn't have been much smoother and the tuxedo itself worked out perfectly. This is a very well run business with excellent customer service. read more

Can't recommend this place, and Brian, enough. I would not go anywhere else for tuxedo rentals. Sizing is always spot on for my tux rentals, and the turnaround is a matter of days. I've been elsewhere in DC, and no other shop compares in terms of quality and service. They also do tailoring for other suits/garments. I have not taken advantage yet, but Brian has won me over and I know that they'll do a great job. read more

TL;DR: Brian is the man -- and he will hook you up, fast. And you will look good. I was in a room full of $2,000 tuxedos, and I was getting compliments. Boom. Longer version: I called Brian on Wednesday asking for a tuxedo on Saturday during one of the busier weekends of the year in DC. His response? No problem. I was in and out of the store in an hour. I haven't worn a tuxedo in years. I think I look like a sack of potatoes in a suit. I'm dreading going to this event on Saturday, but I kept thinking to myself, at least I can look ok. But I looked better than OK -- Brian was not only able to rent me everything that I needed, he was able to get the pants exactly the right length (I am very square, and pants typically turn out too long or too short). He knew my shirt size when I walked into the dressing room. Everything was super easy from start to finish. Pictures turned out great, and I no longer felt like I looked like a sack of potatoes (although to be fair, that was also probably the alcohol talking). AND the price was right. Literally the Yelp definition of "as good as it gets." Best tuxedo rental place in DC. The closest metro stops are Capitol South or Eastern Market -- just a few blocks from each stop. 100% worth the ride. Once you work with Brian, you'll never go anywhere else. read more

In December 2018 I had a formal event to go to and needed to rent a quality tux. Lustre Formal Wear did a great job in helping me. To be sure, at first glance the shop is not fancy and is not "polished."It does not give off the fancy appearance of some of the clothing chains. However, the staff were very friendly and helpful and courteous. They gave me good advice, and were forthright about what might work better among the choices available. They do seem to have a variety of good options in various price ranges. They did a great job in taking careful measurements; ordering the tux and the miscellaneous stuff; and working with me to make sure everything was in good shape before I left on the pick-up day. They were also very friendly on the drop off day. And I also believe they charged a fair price. I was very pleased with the tux and got some nice compliments about it. If I need a tux in the future, I will definitely be going back to them. They mostly do tux rentals and clearly know what they are doing. In that way, I think they offer some experience and expertise that are lacking from some of the more conventional options for tux rentals. I understand that they can work with folks on a rush basis. But obviously, the more lead time you can give them the better. read more

Top notch experience! Lustre can fit you for a snazzy tux with little notice, even same-day if your size is in-stock. Price was fair and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend Lustre for your formalwear needs. read more

Rented a tux for a wedding just after New Years. Great experience overall. Price was more than fair, easy pick-up & return. Great customer service! read more

Traveled to DC from California and needed a tuxedo for a wedding I was attending. Looked on line and found Lustre Formal Wear. They were terrific! I talked to Brian on the phone and gave him the measurements. He also gave me his cell number in case of any problem. The tuxedo was delivered to my hotel. They did not charge any delivery charge.They also picked the tux up after. They made things very easy and I was MOST satisfied and happy with them!!!! read more

I rented tuxedos before in many places but this was great, fast, and easier than any other place I have rented tuxedos before. The tuxedo materials had great quality, the shirt was perfect the look was better than I had expected. I am very satisfied, especially when at the event I attended got so many compliments about the tuxedo and even walking through the hotel. This has now become my go-to place for when I need a tuxedo for any occasion that requires it. Look no further this is the spot! read more

Great job Lustre formal wear.they were friendly and made renting tux easy

Brian has helped me on three or four separate occasions when I've needed some formalwear. He is a consummate professional and will get you whatever you need within a couple of days. I wouldn't think to go anywhere else. I will continue to rent and recommend to everyone. Seriously, no need to shop around, save yourself a headache and call Brian today. read more

I rented from Brian several times and actually ended up buying a tuxedo here as well. Every experience was fantastic. Fitting, renting, returns were easy, and I never felt pressured to buy anything I didn't want or need. If you need to rent or buy a tux, do yourself a favor and go here. read more

Short: Quick, reasonably priced, nice staff, but check your tuxedo and accessories thoroughly before you leave to make sure you are getting what you want. Long: I needed a tuxedo to attend a formal event. I came to Lustre on a Saturday afternoon and was treated quickly by a friendly and competent gentleman. I reiterated several times that I preferred certain features (e.g. slit pockets instead of flap). I picked up the rental a few days later. It was late and they were closing, so I just checked very quickly that everything was there, and tried on only the jacket. Later, upon a closer inspection, I realized almost everything I was given was either quite old and/or not what I had requested. The suspenders in particular were in rough shape. Fortunately, everything did fit, and probably only I noticed some of the inferior features, but I still felt less well-dressed than I would have preferred, which is a bit part of what I was hoping to get out of the experience of renting from Lustre. When I pointed out the suspenders' poor quality upon returning, they were thrown out, and I was given a partial refund without asking. Even before that, the price was fair. So, if I was buying or renting again, I would return here, but would try everything on fully to ensure that I am getting what I requested. read more

I had a great experience buying a tuxedo from this shop. I went through a few rounds of alterations, which took a bit longer than I expected, but in the end they got it right, were professional, and charged a fair price. I recommend them to anyone. read more

Great service on short notice. I needed to be fitted for a tux just a couple of days prior to an award ceremony. Brian had me measured quickly and efficiently and made sure I had everything I needed. Tux looked great. I'll definitely be returning next time I need a rental. read more

Excellent all around. They were able to get me a tux jacket with tails, vest, tie, and accessories same day. I was in a pinch. They also had the best rental prices in the whole DMV. Customer service was good with someone always answering the phone ready to answer one of my many questions. read more

BEST tuxedo rental in Washington DC period. Last week was the second time that I needed a tuxedo in short notice / emergency (for that same day). I went again to Lustre Formal Wear right around noon and did they step up to the plate. Brian Grozbean (manager) helped me personally, and after measuring and finding right size, trying, etc., etc., he had me ready to go with my amazing tuxedo in exactly 30 minutes. Not only that, but rental price was amazingly reasonable (about half of what other DC tuxedo places would charge). Brian and their staff are incredibly attentive and responsive as he literally dropped off what he was working on to assist me with my "emergency", and quite frankly, you will not find a nicer person to work with. I had used other places such as Men's Wearhouse a while back but I definitely will never use them as they are not even close in customer service as to what Lustre provides. To top everything off I returned my tuxedo on Tuesday (two days late) and they did not charge me any late fees (other places such as M.W. will charge you $100/day) Lustre Formal Wear does not have the fancy shop and facilities Men's Wearhouse and other places do. Do not be turned off by it because what matters is the outstanding customer service, price, and quality they provide. You simply can't go wrong with them. read more

Brian is such a great person! I came from Baltimore this morning in a big hurry and forgot to bring the suit. I contacted Brian through the phone and he just brought me a perfectly matching suit half an hour later when I arrived at the store. It's my first time come to his store and I will definitely visit next time. read more

I used Lustre Formal Wear to rent a tux for a friend's international wedding. This outfit was professional and their work superb. As I would be traveling, I needed the tux for an extended period. They were able to handle my slightly unusual requirements with several options. They fitted me and double-checked my measurements. When I appeared at the wedding, I received several compliments on the fit and austere look. In short, Lustre nailed it. Their professional attitude gave me confidence and put me at ease. Highly recommended. read more

Lustre Formal Wear, specifically Brian, was absolutely wonderful to work with for my wedding, providing 6 tuxes. At every step of the process Brian bent over backwards to provide me with top service. He took what I had to say and made suggestions, each of which improved our tux selection. Every tux fit perfectly, despite every groomsman having to call in measurements from different states. He worked with me on last minute changes and the tuxes were in in plenty of time. He provided me flexibility in returning the tuxes due to unexpected post wedding travel plans and was a total gentleman every step of the way. I give Lustre, specifically Brian, my top endorsement and recommend him to anyone looking for tuxes for weddings or any other event. Best experience I could have hoped for. read more

Needed a tux on short notice. Showed up at 8:00 AM, was measured in less than 10 minutes, and picked up the suit on my way home from work the same day. Good prices, great customer service, and no pressure to upsell. I'll be going to Lustre whenever I need a tux again. read more

These guys rock. I found out at the last minutes I needed to rent a tuxedo. Most other places told me they had to ship it in from their warehouse after letting me wait for 20-30 minutes. I found these guys online. They were exactly as advertised. I walked in and they had me fitted out in 10 minutes. They even had the color vest and tie I was looking for. You would think a last minute tux from a shop on Capitol Hill would be pricey. Not even close. These guys hooked me up for a lot less than I thought I was going to pay. AND they are open on Sundays. Will definitely start with them next time. read more

I decided to attend my senior prom last minute and needed a tuxedo. The day before the prom I called and was told I could get fit for and receive a tuxedo in time for prom the next day (other stores had told me this was not possible). So the next day I went in early in the morning and was fitted, I think by Brian (who was extremely kind), and a few hours later (some changes needed to be made given my measurements) I had a tuxedo! It had everything I needed and fit wonderfully. It was $150 which I think was extremely fair for a same-day fitting, editing, and rental. It was hard for me to return the very next day (a Friday), but I called and was told that Saturday would be fine--even Sunday! In summary, the service was kind, helpful, and very generous; and I was fitted for and received an attractive tuxedo within a several hours. read more
