About Us

Tuxedos to Geaux is a company formed by Mel Grodsky in 2014. Mel is a 59 year veteran of the men’s clothing industry in New Orleans, Louisiana. Tuxedos to Geaux specializes in a unique concept in formalwear offering a complete package to OWN, not rent. We also offer free lifetime alterations. The package includes a new tuxedo, formal shirt, tie and cummerbund set, altered to your specified measurements. The tuxedo has a 2 button, side-vented coat with flat front pants. A vest set including a bowtie, long tie, and handkerchief is available in place of the cummerbund set for $10 more. The tuxedo is made of a perfect, year-round fabric. We have an assortment of colors and patterns available for vest sets, cummerbund sets, and bow ties. We pride ourselves on fast, individualized service. Tuxedos can be purchased in-store or online.

A unique collection of shrimp boot merchandise can also be found on our website. This is the original collection started by Porter Stevens in 2009. We are now the sole supplier of the entire shrimp boot collection. Our t-shirts, polos, fishing shirts, baby items, and rubber shrimp boots make the perfect gift for any lover of our Southern culture. Merchandise can be purchased online or in-store.
