Savvi Formalwear

The people there are nice enough in that corporate video-​trained sort of way. Let’s go back half a year ago nearly when I get a call across the country that I have to get my butt into a place to get the measurements over to this Savvi Formalwear store so they can have an inordinate amount of time to prep 5 groomsmen’s tuxes. I do that.
Fast forward to months and months later when after all that time they want us to come in a day and a half or 2 days before the wedding to get «fitted» and we can only come to a location that is way across town from the original location our organizer reserved the rentals, and we can only come in from 3p — 8p on that day which is crazy rush hour traffic in any city in the world, especially Atlanta on that end of the week.
We get there expecting to have at least some modicum of a fitting, but that just turns into two impatient dudes rushing us through with this half assed apathetic attitude smeared with a layer of pretending to be polite. It’s the old side eyed southern grin you learn as a kid in Georgia.
I say things like, «wow these trousers are incredibly baggy» and he says things like «oh they’re supposed to be that way with formal wear» — ok in their mind as long as the clothes don’t look like a clown is wearing them, it’s good enough. He even made the trousers even baggier after I made that comment, weird.
Mind you, this is a shop that had a baby’s tuxedo hanging up done in camouflage print. So you pay for honey boo boo, you get honey boo boo.
I made no real objections because I didn’t want the groom to be stressed. They were acceptable tuxes, but our groomsmen did comment more than a few times at the deplorable stitching at the hems and the MC Hammer style baggyness of the trousers. Whatever — it’s a rented tux in a suburb of Atlanta, it’s to be expected.
What really got me was after a 48 hour wedding marathon, the Sunday morning after it all went off with success, because of my great family and the bride’s (it really was a great wedding) — I get an email from Savvi that I have to have the tux back by 5p (ON A SUNDAY, THE DAY AFTER) — (so they get half a year, the length of some employment contracts, ²⁄₃ the gestation of a new human life, the time it takes to pay off a hot tub loan) but I get less than 8 hours of actual use with the thing.
And they add this really disgusting line in the reminder email which reminds me that the tux I just wore to an important day is really just a used up sweat rag:
Return the tux by 5pm «so it is ready for this week’s adventure.»
Not next week’s adventure, not so that it can be prepared for someone else, or how about just say please return it and leave it at that. But it is: THIS WEEK’S ADVENTURE. Great.
This place is the Apple-​bees of tux rentals.
We are in the land of honey boo boo.

We used Savvi to rent suits for our June wedding. The suit colors and vest were exactly what I had in mind. The staff was very helpful. Even though we had to wait a bit while getting fitted, I didn’t mind as they were clearly busy and working. The suits fit very well on all of the groomsmen and my husband. One of our groomsmen is in the Navy and on a boat when the fittings were necessary but they able to get his measurements and have his suit ready to go the day before the wedding! I highly recommend this store.

This Savvi location provided my tux for my daughter’s wedding. After the fitting they adjusted everything perfectly. I was quite happy with the fit and the quality of the clothing.
On the down side, the small store is quite crowded and I had to wait each time I visited.
The temp in the store, which is located at Northpoint Mall, was unbearably hot. When I was fitted I thought I would burst into flames.
