Established in 1974 with over fifty years in formal menswear, Friar Tux on Jackson Drive is La Mesa's destination for suit and tuxedo rental and purchase. The store fits weddings, proms, quinceañeras, and black-tie events with inclusive sizing that spans kids' through big-and-tall — event coordination that overlaps with Ivy Weddings and Events in the La Mesa market. A California-based chain, Friar Tux maintains multiple locations and participates in the national TuxedoFit network, allowing out-of-town wedding-party members to submit measurements remotely. Virtual and in-store styling appointments cover full accessory builds including dress shirts, shoes, cufflinks, vests, and pocket squares — a head-to-toe approach that complements the bridal-party makeup services at Bridal By Haydee. The rental program covers premium super-120s wool-blend tuxedos with satin peak-lapel and notch-lapel options, fitted through a proprietary measurement system calibrated across chest, drop, and outseam dimensions.
