The Tuxedo Builder App by Jim's Formal Wear

To say that I am totally loving the concept behind the The Tuxedo Builder wedding app by Jim's Formal Wear would be a huge understatement!   The Tuxedo Builder is a fantastic app that will solve every single one of your groom’s  and groomsmen’s outfit dilemmas with their easy-to-use (and super fun!) shopping experience and fantastic search features.
With so many  tuxedo and accessory styles and over 175 colors to choose from, it has always been  a priority of Jim's Formal Wear to give their customers the chance to mix and match items so they can create a personalized look. That's why -- a very popular feature on Jim’s Formal Wear website -- is now available as an iPad and iPhone App.  You and your honey can design the ultimate wedding tux whenever and wherever you want, and you can select the outfits for your wedding party before you even visit a store.

How does it work?  It is very simple.  First, download the FREE The Tuxedo Builder. Then, start having fun by mixing and matching tuxedos and accessories to create the perfect ensemble for your upcoming event. Once your tuxedo ensemble is completed, email the nearest Jim’s Formal Wear store (nearly 6,000 stores nationwide) with your selections to set up an appointment and speed up the ordering process.  
The app will allow you to share your groom's look with friends and family via Facebook, Twitter or email.  It even  has a feature to map out directions from your home to the nearest retail location and it also helps you find money-saving coupons.
Isn't this awesome?  But, the fun isn't over yet, my friends... The iPhone and iPad versions have another super-cool feature called "Add Your Photo" that allows you to see what your fiancé will look like in the tuxedo of his choice. All your  honey has to do  is simply take a picture of himself and attach it to his outfit... and voila!
The "Fitting Room" is another super helpful function for those brides who are planning a wedding where the groom, groomsmen, father-of-the-bride, ring bearer, ushers, etc. wear different looks. It allows you to save individual items or complete ensembles, so you can review or share them later.
Pretty great, right? Well, it gets better. With The Tuxedo Builder app not only can you shop by color and narrow your search results by items, but you can also shop by theme and choose the styles that best reflect your dream wedding. From black tie and traditional to destination and western, Jim's Formal Wear has something for everyone.
Any other reasons to love Jim's Formal Wear?  
Their consultants are experts at servicing out-of-town weddings. They offer tuxedo rentals to fit any budget and carry styles from the hottest designers such as Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Tony Bowls, Jean Yves and more.  Plus, with over 175 fullback vest styles and over 385 tie styles to coordinate with any bridesmaid’s dress, Jim’s Formal Wear is the largest formalwear rental company in the world!
