Meet the Business Owner

Mel G.

Business Owner

Hailing from New Orleans, a young (age 13) Mel Grodsky entered the world of retail working for his father at Wright Tailors while attending a military high school. From there, he opened Mel’s Monograms in 1967. In the 1980s, during the oil bust, Grodsky’s father became ill, so Mel sold his uniform business, keeping the larger retail location and changing the name to J. Michaels after his children Jennifer and Michael. The store was located in Lakeside Shopping Center, the first mall in the Greater New Orleans Area. When the corporate headquarters of Porter Stevens (a large Chicago-​based apparel chain owned and operated by Hart Schaffner & Marx) went bankrupt in 1995, Grodsky bought the name and operated Porter Stevens until November 2012. Grodsky closed Porter Stevens so that he could devote all of his efforts to Tuxedos To Geaux.

I was referred to this place by a co-​worker to get a tailcoat set for my teenage son. The location was perfect as it is not far from my office. I called ahead of time and spoke with Blake who reviewed my son’s measurements and said they had his size in stock.
Not only was I able to get a full tailcoat set, they hemmed the slacks while I waited! The service, price and free alterations will keep me coming back here as a customer.
The staff was friendly and for the low price, the quality can’t be beat.
I spent $ 249 for a tailcoat, slacks, white piqué shirt, vest, tie and white gloves. If you go elsewhere, be prepared to spend $ 500-​$ 800.

Honest and helpful staff who care more about you looking good than about them «making the sale», great customer service, and great suits and tuxedos. Much more at home feel than at the usual suit and tailor shops or big box stores.

Mel and his crew do a great job! Great customer service, great quality and even better prices. I bought a tux for cheaper than I could rent one. I have also bought a few really nice suits as well.

Stopped in needing a suit for a funeral. Blake helped me find what I needed in a matter of minutes. Can’t beat a suit for under $ 200 with life time alterations. Excellent service definitely recommend.

For just a little bit more than the cost of a rental, you get a tux that appears to be much better in quality. Had a problem with some cuff links that I bought there and they replaced them right away. Easy to deal with, good price and nice quality. Would recomend to anyone.

the quality of tuxedo is way above what i expected and is excellent. they offer various ‘cuts’of tuxes, including slim fits. have options for a vest instead of cummerbund for additional $ 10. you also have options for shirt types at no additional charge. they do alterations on site and will alter tux at no charge as long as you own it. the owner is very experienced and courteous. you cannot neat this and it pays for itself on less than two rentals. great experience.
