At last check Macy’s was selling the Hilfiger Trim Fit Tuxedo for an outrageous $525. Usually you can find them on sale for the mid $200s, with the entire trim fit suiting line dipping into the low $200s on One Day Sales.
With that said, I’ve never seen them go as low as $150. Thank you Overstock.com.
Sure the pic on Overstock is anything but flattering. The model looks like he’s wearing a jacket that’s a size too big. At the very least it needs tailoring. And it’s the tailoring that’ll set you, in this Tux, apart from the rest of the poor rental wearing guys at your next formal affair.
Along with getting it tailored, this tux is light years ahead of a rental because it’s wool, the shoulder pads aren’t behemoths, and the lapels are a perfect not to wide, not too skinny notch. The inside jacket picture proves this is the real deal, since Hilfiger Trim Fits have that striped edge to the inner pocket.
A great deal if you’re in the market. Especially since it’s not that much more than what it would cost to rent one.

Want a better idea as to how this should fit? Read a review of the Hilfiger Trim Fit two-button suit:
Couldn’t agree with you more. A great choice if you don’t want to rent or pay $1000 for one. I bought mine from Macy’s online when they had a sale one, would recommend buying several sizes and then sending back the ones that don’t fit. You can mix and match jacket / pant sizes which is a huge advantage over many suits.
Jacket fits pretty normal, the sleeves on mine were a bit short so I took it to a local tailor to have them lengthened by an inch.
The pants come up pretty small, I can get away with a 32inch waist most of the time, but the 34inch in these was more like a 32 in other brands.
Overall, looks sharp and is a bargain, especially if you are a slim guy.. I looked everywhere for a reasonably priced slim fit tux, they are few and far between.
I have the opposite of what Alex says. I don’t have the tuxedo, but I have the pinstripe Tommy Trim, which is the same cut. The sleeves are actually a bit long, and the 32 waist pants I have fit me (snuggly) when I’m normally in the 34 range.
My brother is getting married soon, he bought this Tommy tux and loved it. He normally hates suits, but once he got one that didn’t fit like a rental, he liked it. He did return it though, because with the Living Social coupon he was able to get the Indochino tux for the same price as the Tommy after it was tailored.
I’ll be doing the same thing. I’m going to order my Indochino tux soon.
