Sam Meyers was the son of immigrant parents and a tailor by trade. In 1905, master tailor Sam Meyers opened one of the first garment shops in the Midwest to supply ready-made tuxedos altered to customer's specifications. Four generations later, the family is carrying on the tradition of quality formal wear and superior customer service on which the business was founded. Sam Meyers specializes in tuxedo rentals, tuxedo sales, suit rentals and suit sales.

Sam Meyers Grows Up

Mr. Meyers only daughter, Mary Lee Meyers married Jim Corbett, who entered the business and eventually took over as president. They have five children - Carolyn, Sam, Pat, Mark and Lee. Jim Corbett started the wholesale division to rent tuxedos regionally. When Sam Meyers passed away in 1962, Jim continued the the high standards with the help of two of his sons, Sam and Pat. The other siblings took different career paths. When Jim retired in the mid 1990's Sam and Pat purchased the company.


The company moved to larger quarters at 6th and Main in 1978, occupying 40,000 square feet. The company moved again in July of 1986 into “the warehouse” which was a state-of-the-art facility with over 110,000 square feet of space. In 2019 we moved from the warehouse into the St. Mathews mall where we house our entire inventory providing thousands of tuxedos and suits to rent or purchase.
