Hi! On behalf of Expert Village, I'm Garen Palmer and you're at Ritz Tuxedos. Today we're going to first talk about the difference type of tuxedo rentals. There's basically 3 kinds of tuxedo rentals. First, it's full service like we are here where we stalk everything right in the store. You'd come in, you'd be able to see all the different models on display, try on what you want, try different combinations to see what works best for you. The second one might be a store similar to this where we have samples of some display, but the tuxedos are not actually stocked here in the store. You can look at them, but you can't actually try them on. You might be just where they put the tuxes together in one location and then they might have 6 or 7 other locations where it'll just be a showroom. The third type of tuxedo rental might be a like a bridal shop or a men's store that doesn't actually carry any tuxedos at all. They might not even have anything in store to look at. In those cases, they'll probably let you look at a catalog similar to this and pick out what you would like. At that point, they would order it and have it brought in for you. My preference is definitely work with something that has an inventory in the store so that you can actually see the product that you're getting, get the actual colors, hold them up, feel them, and have an expert there that does that full time to be able to determine which would be the best tuxedo for you in your occasion. Bridal stores are great and some of the smaller towns, that might be all you have. They have to order it in because there's just not a good population there to support a store. Those are great also.
