    Futire Hubby and I are having the hardest time finding grey tuxes for him and the guys to wear. We found the Calvin Klein Legend Grey Tux (attached) but it is not available anywhere in GA, plus it would probably be out of the price range to rent anyway! We are looking for grey tux options but pickins are SLIM. We might have to do suits instead but we'd rather not. Any ideas??

     The ladies are wearing orange, so it's sortof an orange/grey/silver and white affair. Grey Tuxedo options/alternatives :  wedding tuxedo grey orange Graysuit Calvin Klein Legend Grey Tuxedo

    Those are nice!  I don't have any suggestions, as we were having the same problem looking for grey tuxes.  We ended up deciding to go the grey suit road.  Good luck in your search though!

    That's the tux we love too! YAY TUX TWINS! But you're right, its very hard to find. Disappointing, since it has a more dressed-up feel than a grey suit. Have you done extensive calling around?

    I'm sorry I can't help, but I'm going to keep an eye on this thread because that is exactly what I want our groomsmen to wear. Good luck!

    We are doing grey suits too. Supposedly it is very European to do so but our main reason is that the wedding is in August and suits will be cooler than tuxes.

    Looks like a lot of us looking and not a lot of results so far... but we can look together! :)

    we are doing the grey tux's through Mens Warehouse they are around $150.00.  That is so odd that they don't have them avail in GA!  I really hope you are able to find them or some alternative for your wedding! I think the hardest part is figuring out what shoes to wear with them??

    i'm doing grey suits too!  we didn't find any tux's we liked.  but right now men's wearhouse is having a buy one get one free sale.  it's the same price for the guys to buy the suits rather then renting them.  plus they can keep them.  that's what we are doing.

    We are also doing grey tuxedos.  We found ours at a local tux shop (in Michigan), but they originally come from Jim's Formalwear.  The jacket/pant style we are doing looks almost exactly like your picture, the style name from Jim's is "Jean Yves/Savoy." 

    Their website is:  http://www.jimsformalwear.com/  You can search by location to find a local store that carries their lines.  This is what we did, it was really helpful, and we found a place that carried it for $20 less than what Men's Wearhouse wanted to charge us for their grey tux option.

    I hope this helps, good luck!

    So I was at the mall yesterday and saw that grey Calvin Klein tux in the Men's Wearhouse window! I was so excited, I think the shop girl thought I was a little weird - I kept asking, "So it will be here, like forever, right?" It's a "premium brand" for Men's Wearhouse, so its $159 to rent, though if you sign up for a rewards program, you can get $20 off, and the 5th tux is free. The wool is very light and soft, great for summer.

    try lennox or midtown around virginia highlands. I always seemed to find whatever i couldnt find anywhere else there. MW, Savvi  and try J crew. some of these places online prob have some great deals bc of the sucky economy if you still cant find what you are looking for. hope that helps

    Hi,

    I'm in Atlanta and my guys will most likely wear the Calvin Klein grey suit and renting it from Men's Wearhouse Tux right by Perimeter Mall.  I'm sure any Men's Wearhouse will have in stock as I just saw them yesterday.  Also, they are having a buy one get $100 off for suits if you'd like to purchase and $20 off rentals if you have more than 5 groomsmen/men in your wedding party.  Interesting...my colors are grey and orange too.

    Good luck!

    @stacy.pomroy@gmail.com: When you went with the grey tux's at Men's Warehouse, was just the tux $150 or are talking about $150 for a package? Just curious... my fiance and I are contemplating grey tuxes and we're not sure what "packages" generally cost.

    Hi, was anyone able to find the Calvin Klein Legend Tuxedo? I like that the vest on that tux matches the material of the main part of the tuxedo. The other CK from Mens Warehouse requires the stadard shiny vests. I'm in northern, VA.

    we are going with the Volcom Dapper Suits(a bit less casual)... if you know Volcom, although it's a skateboard brand, they make really nice decent priced suits in black, grey, charcoal, and pinstripes...

    @mstiffanyb - Thanks so much!!! We were going this weekend to rent the tux from the one place I could find in the area.  I just contacted Savvi and it looks like i can get the tuxes + shoes for at leaset $40 less than the other place I was going to go!

    I didn't realize the tuxedo places don't put all the tuxes they offer online. Thanks for your help!
