Tuxedo House
Every now and then, there are occasions when a T-shirt and jeans, or even a business suit, just won’t cut it. For weddings, proms and other formal events, the classic tuxedo is the way to go. And when nothing but the best will do, Maryland men know it’s time to go to Tuxedo House — the state’s largest and oldest supplier of formalwear.
Tuxedo House was founded in 1910 by the Kamner family. In 1975, the Furman family bought into the business and has operated it ever since, according to Scott Furman, Tuxedo House’s president and the second generation of the Furman clan in the business. “We have more than 10,000 tuxedos and accessories, as well as career apparel for restaurants, hotels and off-premises caterers,” Furman said. Tuxedo House is the official formalwear provider for several prominent area organizations, including the Baltimore Ravens, the Baltimore Blast, the Ed Block Courage Award Founda- tion and more. Despite its small staff size — four to six in the off-season and eight to 12 during peak rushes — Tuxedo House is a powerhouse in the local formalwear marketplace. “We’re small but mighty,” Furman laughed. “We’re putting out product that the corporate stores can’t hold a candle to by far, and we’re $50 to $75 less than the mall and chain stores with the added advantage of better-quality service. Nobody else even comes close.” The Timonium Business Center has been home to Tuxedo House since 1981. “This location has been fantastic for us,” Furman declared. “We’ve got easy access from York Road or from I-83 and the Beltway. Our location is so convenient for our customers, and they can’t get over how the place looks.” Furman and his father, Frederick Furman, who is now retired from the business, both have an “outstanding relationship” with St. John Properties. “They’re very humble and excellent people to deal with,” Furman said. “We call for service, and they’re there. We have a question, and they’re there. We have people come in our store all the time looking for commercial space, and we always refer them to St. John Properties. They’re carrying on a great tradition.”
