"We had seven weddings on Friday the 13th -- - and they were all large weddings," he recalled. But prom time - April - is also a popular time for tuxedos.

"If we don't have it in stock, we can get it," he says. He says they even deliver the tuxedos if necessary. Although most people k. tuxedos, Allen's does have used tuxes that they sell. "Some men buy the coats to (;. to church or other places. The difference between these and a; coat is the satin lapels and the si" trim on the pocket." Jones smiled, "This is a f. business to be in.
