At Franco Masoma, we approach groomsmen coordination as an extension of your custom tuxedo. Not as an afterthought, but as part of a larger story. One where you stand at the center, supported by those closest to you, all dressed with care and purpose.
Why Custom Tuxedos Matter for Los Altos Weddings
Los Altos weddings carry a particular sensibility. They balance formality with ease. Tradition with personal expression. Whether your celebration takes place at a private estate, a vineyard in the hills, or a garden overlooking the Bay, the expectation is the same: refined without being ostentatious. Elegant without trying too hard.
A custom tuxedo meets that expectation naturally.
Unlike rental options that fit approximately, or off-the-rack designs that require extensive alterations, a custom tuxedo is built around you. Your proportions. Your posture. The way you carry yourself when standing beside the person you are choosing to marry.
For grooms throughout Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Palo Alto, Atherton, Saratoga, and the surrounding Bay Area, this level of precision ensures you are not adjusting your jacket or second-guessing your appearance throughout the day. You are simply present, dressed in something that feels entirely natural.
The Franco Masoma Difference: California Design, Napoli Creation
Every Franco Masoma tuxedo is designed in Los Gatos and constructed by hand in Napoli, Italy.
This is not an arbitrary choice. Napoli has been the center of Italian tailoring for centuries. The artisans who build Franco Masoma garments learned their craft through apprenticeships, working alongside masters whose knowledge extends across generations. They understand how fabric moves. How structure supports without restricting. How to construct garments that last.
The result is a tuxedo that wears beautifully from the first fitting and continues to do so for decades. This is clothing built to become part of your life, not just your wedding day.
California informs the vision. Italy provides the execution. Together, they create something that feels both modern and timeless.
Beginning with Understanding, Not Measurement
At Franco Masoma, the process does not start with a tape measure. It starts with a conversation.
When you visit our Los Gatos showroom, Franco welcomes you into a ninety-minute consultation that is entirely focused on you. He wants to understand your wedding. The tone you are setting. The feeling you want to create. Whether your celebration leans formal or relaxed. Whether you envision yourself in classic black tie or something slightly softer.
Franco observes how you stand, how you move, and what makes you comfortable. These observations matter. They inform every decision that follows, from fabric weight to lapel style to pocket details.
This is not a transaction. It is a collaboration. And it results in a tuxedo that reflects who you are rather than who someone else thinks you should be.
Fabric Selection: Intentional and Exclusive
Franco does not select fabrics from catalogs or mass-market collections.
When Franco chooses wool for your tuxedo, he is thinking about how it will photograph in natural light. How it will drape as you walk down the aisle. How it will feel during a long evening of celebration. The fabrics he curates come from Italy’s most respected mills: Vitale Barberis Canonico, Zegna, Loro Piana, Cerruti 1881, and Piacenza.
These are textiles known for their hand feel, their durability, and their ability to age gracefully. They are not chosen to impress for a season. They are chosen to endure.
This approach guarantees exclusivity. Your tuxedo will not be replicated. It was selected for you and constructed for you alone.
Groomsmen Coordination: Visual Harmony Without Sameness
Once your custom tuxedo is designed, attention turns to your groomsmen.
The goal is not to dress everyone identically. It is to create visual harmony. To ensure your groomsmen complement your presence without overshadowing it. To allow each person to feel comfortable while contributing to a unified aesthetic.
Franco Masoma offers both custom and ready-to-wear options for groomsmen, depending on timeline, budget, and the level of personalization desired.
Accessories That Complete the Vision
Coordination extends beyond the tuxedo itself.
Franco Masoma offers custom accessories including ties, bow ties, pocket squares, and cufflinks. These details allow for subtle differentiation between the groom and groomsmen while maintaining a cohesive look.
A groom might wear a custom silk bow tie in one tone, while groomsmen wear coordinating ties in a complementary shade. Pocket squares can echo wedding colors without appearing forced. Cufflinks can add personal meaning or serve as gifts to the wedding party.
These choices are never arbitrary. They are guided by Franco’s understanding of proportion, color, and the overall vision for your wedding day.
A Tuxedo That Lasts Beyond the Wedding
A well-made tuxedo does not retire after your wedding.
The same garment that accompanies you down the aisle becomes the tuxedo you wear to black tie events, formal dinners, galas, and milestone celebrations in the years ahead. It transitions from wedding day to anniversary celebrations to professional occasions without losing relevance or refinement.
This is why Franco Masoma tuxedos are built with longevity in mind. They are designed not for a trend cycle, but for a lifetime.
