Why Rent

Hi, my name is Vrej Grigorian. I am the owner and founder of Tuxedosonline.com, and today we’re going to start a series of instructional videos, starting with why you should buy a tuxedo rather than rent one and why it makes sense nowadays. In starting that subject, I’d like to let you know that I’ve been in the Tuxedo business since 1984, we’ve started out renting tuxedos here at Gregory’s Tux shop for years, and then we’ve started selling them at Tuxedosonline.com. It makes sense to buy tuxedos now rather than rent them because of the technology of the web, and technology in fabrics. The Technology of the web has enabled small companies, such as us, to import directly ourselves and sell directly to the end customer therefore cutting out the middleman. Also technology of better fabrics at lower costs has let us give it to you at a lower price. And thirdly, technology we use at our tuxedo shop to make the tuxedos fit have enabled us to serve the general public better, therefore revolutionizing the tuxedo industry from a rental industry into letting people every day buy a tuxedo about the same price as you would rent a tuxedo. The first question I am asked is “how do people buy it?”, “how do they know what size to buy?” and we will get into that with the secrets of tuxedo shops in the next video.
