Al's Formal Wear

Al’s Formal Wear began with one tuxedo store, opened by Al Sankary in the Dallas area in 1952. A few years later, Sankary's brother-in-law Alan 'Al' Gaylor, along with wife Lillian, opened the first Houston store in the downtown area, officially making Al's Formal Wear a family business. With the two Als working together, they were destined for greatness. As the years went by, the business continued to grow, and they successfully outfitted customers through decades of fashion trends. Al's Formal Wear currently has multiple stores located in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Colorado. Al's wholesale division, Ascot Formal Wear, supplies formalwear shops across the United States with tuxedos.
