Being an independent store, we are not obligated to any one company or style. If you need a special color of tuxedo or vest, and we don't have it, we will find it for you. Accomodating the customer is our number one priority.

But the Fit of a tuxedo is the most important reason for using James Formal Wear. Our experienced sales staff will measure you correctly. On your special day you will feel comfortable and confident while walking down the aisle or for any other formal occasion.

The Black Tie is a privately owned formal wear store that has served the Columbia, Charleston, Sumter and surrounding areas for the past 30 years. We have an in-state warehouse and make on-site alterations. We pride ourselves in offering the best formal wear for the best prices and having the largest selection of tuxedos in Columbia.
