Group Formalwear
Outfitting the whole squad just got a whole lot simpler. With Skeffington’s School Partnership Program, you can rent orpurchase matching suits and tuxedos for choirs, jazz bands, debate teams—or the entire prom court. Enjoy group-only pricing, flexible pick-up/return dates around your event calendar, and dedicated style consultants who’ll handle every detail from head-to-toe. All you need to do is pick a date, gather the crew, and let us make your group look headline-worthy.
Fitting & Alterations
A great suit should feel like it was stitched just for you—because ours are. Our in-house tailors travel to campus for convenient measurement days, then fine-tune every jacket, pant, and sleeve back at the shop. Need a last-minute nip or tuck? We offer rapid-turnaround alterations so there’s zero stress before curtain call, competition, or that big night out. Perfect fit, perfect confidence—every time.
Add a pop of color!
Show off your school spirit (or prom theme) with more than 300 vest, tie, and pocket-square shades—yes, even that exact shade of crimson, navy, or metallic rose everyone loves. Mix-and-match accessories across our MetroFlex collection to give each student a signature splash while still keeping the group vibe cohesive. From subtle pastels to bold jewel tones, we’ve got the spectrum covered—so go ahead and color outside the lines.
Common Questions About Our Partnership Program
Explore answers to the most common questions about joining our school partnership program.
What exactly does the Skeffington’s School Partnership cover?
Everything from concert tuxes and choir dresses to faculty blazers, prom suits, and “oops-we-spilled-in-chem-lab” dry-cleaning. If it buttons, zips, or needs pressing, we’re your people.
Is there a minimum order or rental requirement?
Nope! Whether you need a single bow tie for the debate champ or 200 MetroFlex tuxes for marching-band nationals, we roll out the same red-carpet service.
What’s the turnaround time on delivery?
Dry-cleaning for large batches (think the entire choir’s tuxes after a cross-state tour) can usually take up to 14 days door-to-door. Emergency? Smash the metaphorical red button—give us a call and we’ll fast-track a solution if humanly possible.
Can we mix rentals and purchases?
Absolutely. Our MetroFlex collection (18 vibrant colors, stretchy superhero fabric) lets you buy jackets for year-round use and rent matching pants for big events—budget win!
How does the dry-cleaning pick-up & drop-off work?
Choose a closet, office, or secret teacher lounge—our Skeff Shuttle van swings by on a set schedule (weekly or bi-weekly). Items come back fresh, pressed, and tagged with each student’s name.
How is billing handled?
We can invoice the school, the booster club, or directly to each customer.
