Kenneth Cole Reaction Slim-Fit Ready Flex Nested Tuxedo, $120 (was $425)
Why do we like this deal?
Wedding season is here, and so the most asked question among wedding guests is: “What should I wear?” Apart from beach weddings, a classic tux is something every guy should have for these occasions. While they may be expensive, Macy’s may have missed the memo — the retailer is offering more than 70% off Kenneth Cole tuxedos during its Black Friday in July sale through July 26.
The Kenneth Cole Reaction Slim-Fit Ready Flex Nested Tuxedo is on sale for $120, which is $305 less than the original $425 price tag. This item has over 800 five-star ratings and ranges in sizes from 36S to 50L. More importantly, ratings. This traditional tux holds a 4.2-star rating after over 1,100 votes, which signals to us that it really is worth your time and money.

If you’re getting married in the near future, but you’re still tuxedo-less, now is the time to make a decision. This sharp Kenneth Cole look is slim fit and has just enough spandex to give you the stretch you need on the dance floor. It features all the components you’d want from a tux: notched lapels, a button closure, and flap pockets.
As far as sizes go, there are the short option (best for those 5-foot-7 and under), the regular option (best for those who stand anywhere from 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-11), and the tall option (best for those 6 feet and above).
What about pants? Well, it’s a “nested” tuxedo, meaning the pants are joined and, typically, follow the “Drop 6” shaping method. This means that to find your pant size you need to subtract 6 from the jacket size. For example, if you order a size 40R jacket, you can expect size 34 pants with an unfinished hem to go with it, and you can then tailor it to fit your body. It’s important to keep those measurements in mind before making an online purchase.
In terms of pricing, this deal is a home run. Considering the time of year and the number of summer weddings, getting a tuxedo for a little over $120 is surprising. Just act fast before Macy’s limited-time sale ends.

what shoppers are saying
Do you have a reliable, but ancient tux that you’ve been wearing for a very long time? Now is the time to change this. One reviewer said, “I bought this tux for a wedding after my wife asked me to retire my trusty tux in 1997.” “Great looking tux and really surprised at how cheap a nice tux is these days.”
Another shopper said she liked the fit and that shopping online was a great fit. “We were skeptical about buying a tuxedo online,” he began. “My husband is tall and thin. This slim fit was perfect! Can’t believe how great it looks on him! It folds up and doesn’t even wrinkle!”
The Kenneth Cole Reaction Slim-Fit Ready Flex Nested Tuxedo is about 75% off at Macy’s. Take advantage of this special discount as soon as possible before it expires on July 26th.
