I don't want the sleezy guy in a shop on the 2nd floor above a train station with 3 for 1 deals.

My budget isn't crazy, but somewhere in the 100,000 to 250,000 JPY range.

Any recommendations?
There are quite a few excellent tailors in Tokyo, but tuxedo's aren't a cheap proposition to have made. You want full order? Semi-Order? Try the large department stores like Isetan Men's in Shinjuku or Hankyu Men's in Yurakcho. You might check the places like Aoyama, Aoki etc., I have never been but I assume they have "cheaper" formal wear. I am under the impression that most Japanese men rent tuxedo's and/or wedding Hakama for their big days.
