It’s better to buy a new suit than rent a tuxedo.

Whether its your wedding, or another special occasion, we want to help you look and feel like the best-dressed in the room, and you can do that in a suit from Lindley Clothing. Stop in today and let us help you choose the perfect suit for your special event – and beyond!

According to The Knot, June is the most popular month to have a wedding, followed by August, September and October. This has us thinking about outfitting grooms and groomsmen for the big day. Tuxedos have been traditional wear for the groom and his groomsmen, but in recent years we’ve seen an increasing number of wedding parties opting for suits over tuxedos.

We have also seen a shift from traditional suits for professional purposes to a wide variety of styles, patterns and colors. At Lindley Clothing, we carry a large selection of suits for any occasion, and we encourage you to come browse. Weddings and fashion have changed over the years, and more and more grooms are choosing suits over more formal tuxedos for themselves and their wedding parties. For many it can be a style choice, but for some it comes down to practicality. There’s been a shift from renting tuxes to purchasing suits that can be worn multiple times.

Suits also allow for more leeway when it comes to customizing to fit personal taste and styles. The versatility of a suit and the ability to wear a variety of shirt styles, colors and patterns are making them a more popular choice.

How is a suit different from a tuxedo? Here are some physical differences:

·       A tuxedo has satin, typically on the lapel, a side stripe down the leg, and a facing for the buttons, and a suit has no satin

·       Accessories for a tuxedo are a coordinating bow tie and cummerbund, while a suit is traditionally worn with a long tie (although a bow tie can also be worn) and occasionally a vest

·       A suit has plastic buttons faced with the same fabric as the coat

·       A white shirt with a wing or turndown collar is worn with a tux, while a suit can be worn with a shirt in a variety of colors and patterns

·       Tuxedos are worn with black patent shoes, while a suit can be worn with a variety of shoes including loafers and oxfords

Serving Omaha for More than 80 years.

The Lindley name has been synonymous with men’s fine clothing for years in Omaha. More than 80 years in fact. Jack Lindley opened Lindley Clothing in Wahoo, NE in 1935, and the business was moved to downtown Millard in 1960 by Jack’s son Butch.

John Lindley joined the business that his grandfather Jack started in 1979, and eventually bought the business from his uncle Butch in 1988. John made a decision to move the business west to 132nd and Dodge St. in order to move with the population growth. It was a decision John has never regretted. Business has tripled since the move, and John believes he could not have picked a more perfect location to serve his customers.

“Service is our top priority, and we do it very well,” says John. Lindley’s customer list is nearly 5,000, and many of those are regular customers. “We know our clients by name, and we know what they like.” This is particularly handy when spouses come to the store, looking for the perfect gift.

John credits many dedicated employees for contributing to the company’s success, including his tailor who has been Lindley’s tailor for 35 years, and has helped build trust with clients. Good tailoring is hard to find, and nearly impossible at big department stores. Lindley clients have come to trust his work, which is often requested at the last minute!

The business has evolved over the years in order to meet the needs of customers. Styles have changed over the years, and today business suits are the main driver to get customers in the door. John is encouraged more and more young professionals have become clients, and he appreciates that young people today recognize the importance of dressing well in the business world.

The Lindley name is known for fine suits, but nearly 50% of their business is sportswear. Customers are often surprised when they visit the store and learn they can be dressed from head to toe, including shoes!

You may no longer be able to purchase a tie for $5 like you could when the business opened, but the friendly service and commitment to customers that the company was built on has not changed.
