Did You Know? Prom Edition – Suit & Tux Facts from PerfectTux.com

Prom is one of the most important nights of the year, and looking your best is key! But before you suit up, here are some interesting facts that can help you make the best choice for your prom tuxedo or suit.

1. Most Suits & Tuxedos Require Alterations

Ever noticed that tuxedo pants don’t have a specific length? That’s because they come unfinished! This allows you to tailor them to your perfect length. One popular trend among guys heading to prom is the "ankle hemline" alteration, where pants are hemmed shorter to show some ankle. Your local tailor can easily customize this look for you.

2. Suits & Tuxedos Come in “Married” Sets

At PerfectTux.com, most of our suits and tuxedos come as married sets—meaning the jacket and pants are paired together with a six-inch drop. What does that mean for you?

• If you wear a 40R jacket, your pants will be a 34R waist
• If you wear a 42R jacket, your pants will be a 36R waist
• The trend continues in this pattern!
  And remember, since the pants come unfinished at the bottom, you’ll need to get them hemmed for the perfect fit.

3. What Does S, R, & L Mean?

Ever wonder what the S, R, or L means after your jacket size? It refers to the length of the jacket and sleeves, which is based on your height:

• Short (S) – Best for heights 5’4” to 5’7”
• Regular (R) – Best for heights 5’8” to 6’0”
• Long (L) – Best for heights 6’1” to 6’4”
  Choosing the right length ensures your sleeves and jacket fit proportionally to your body.

4. Why Own Instead of Rent?

Renting a tux might seem like the easiest option, but owning gives you the ability to customize your fit, avoid last-minute rental fees, and have a sharp look ready for future events—whether it’s another formal, graduation, or even a wedding down the road!
