George Zimmer, the founder and former CEO of Men's Warehouse, isn't done with the men's fashion world yet. In fact, he's getting more into it.

Since hiscontroversial exitfrom Men's Warehouse in 2013, Zimmer (who's most recognized for the TV commercial tagline "You're going to like the way you look. I guarantee it") has launched two new ventures:zTailors, a personal online tailoring platform and app, which rolled out at the end of May, and nowGeneration Tux, a suit and tuxedo rental company that opened its digital doors this week.

With Generation Tux, customers can rent a suit or tuxedo, shirt, tie, cummerbund, vest, shoes, socks and cuff links in a range of colors for $150 with free shipping and returns. Unsurprisingly, Zimmer's putting a big emphasis on a guaranteed great fit, including style concierges and free tailoring services from zTailors as part of the service.

However, if Generation Tux takes off the way Zimmer hopes, that customer base could translate into more clients for zTailors.
