DeLuxe Formalwear Tuxedos Rentals and Sales Clifton, NJ - About Us

The year was 1930, it was the heart of the depression and Joseph DeLora Sr. decides to open DeLuxe Cleaners. It was probably the hardest time in America's history to start up a new business, but Joseph DeLora was just that kind of person. It was a decision, as you'll see, he never regretted. What started out as a small wholesale drycleaning plant during the 1930's has today grown to employ over 35 employees now in it's 72nd year. It was the early 1940's when Joseph DeLora would have an idea that would serve two purposes. His idea was to build a room that could act as both a ``Bank Safe" fur vault and a bomb shelter that would protect the DeLora Family, friends and employees during the war years. He built a vault with 18" brick walls and 12" thick concrete ceiling and floor. Today this refrigerated vault is used for just one purpose, to accommodate our customers precious fur coats.

After returning home from the Korean War, Joseph's eldest son Patrick DeLora Sr. took over the daily operations of DeLuxe Cleaners. Searching for a way to diversify the business he decides in 1955 to open DeLuxe Formal Wear. Today our Formal Wear Department is considered one of the leading stores in Northern New Jersey. Dealing with both rentals and sales, our showroom offers all the latest styles in formal wear, with such famous names as After Six, Joseph Abboud, Givenchy, Bill Blass, Andrew Fezza, Calvin Klein, Geoffrey Beene, and many more.

In 1985, Patrick's nephew, Robert Genuardi, became General Manager of the DeLuxe Formal Wear division. With well over 25 years experience in the formal wear industry, Robert has satisfied many discriminating customers including: The Manor, Valley Regency, The Venetian, Westmount Country Club, The Excelsior, The Cotillion, The Upper Montclair Country Club, Bridal by Roma, SST Corporation,Grand Chalet, The Regency House Hotel and many more.
