Biltmore Tuxedos of Ridgewood

Order it from Biltmore Tuxedos, pick it up, and then bring it back after the graduation party was over. This was and remains the routine for male graduates of RHS. I'm not sure what they did before this store appeared in downtown, but they sure did make it easy for us.

The store stands where it always has for the last 40 years on Ridgewood Avenue. They must be doing something right.

I do remember the shoes being made of cardboard or something similar. They likely didn't want anybody to feel too comfortable in this ensemble, and then decide to keep it. The tuxedo certainly did make us look sharp on Graduation Day. I can't imagine what the turnout would have been like if our attire had been left up to us men. Correct that, I can imagine and it makes me laugh as it would have been awful. ;-)
