Haspel 2 Button Notch Tuxedo
no-vent, single pleat pant

Some eTuxedo formalwear history…we started in 1996 with a Bill Blass pure wool tuxedo which we sold for $169.99.  Over these passing years the company which produces the Bill Blass tuxedo traded the Bill Blass license for Haspel.  Same firm, same tuxedo, same price, different name.  There are a few differences;  the Haspel tuxedo includes a fabric upgrade. We were able to move from a plain weave fabric (just like the rental tuxedos) to a softer, tighter, nicer, pure wool gabardine fabric.  The rest of our original writeup still rings true today:

Arguably the finest dollar for dollar value you will find anywhere for a quality tuxedo. This Haspel 100% pure wool tuxedo is designed for a single owner, not rental use. Why does this matter? Rental tuxedos are designed to take the abuse of prom season, wedding season, charity season, and all the dry cleanings in between. They are constructed with the formalwear version of heavy armor to look good for the next rental. This armor makes the garment stiffer, heavier, and less comfortable. If you don't need to dry-clean your tuxedo 52 times a year you will feel much better in a "retail" (rather than rental) tuxedo. This tuxedo will easily fill the needs of an average user. Unless you want a more luxurious garment or are accustomed to a higher-end suit, this tuxedo will probably take care of your needs. This is a classic 2-button, notch lapel, no-vent tuxedo with pleated slacks. The coat is fully lined and has two breast pockets and one lower "phone" pocket. The slacks are lined to the knee for comfort. Pant has a 2 inch letout in the back for a tailor to make easy adjustments. This tuxedo comes with a set size pant. For the price, this is a terrific, solid tuxedo. Need something a tad more luxurious? Check out eTuxedo's Own Tuxedo.
