Tuxedo Rental is HOW much?!

Well did you look at the brand name suit you rented. It really all depends on what you got ex. name brand, how many pieces there is to the outfit, 2 or 3 button jacket, all that kind of stuff goes into what it actually comes out to be.

 

Of all the tuxes I've had to rent, I've probably averaged $140 each time for various weddings. The most expensive was a full tails, somewhat name brand tux that was around $175.

That seems pretty expensive, but its probably some name brand.

What really sucks for most rentals is you can usually buy one for $400-600 that is custom fitted and looks better.

I actually bought a tux because my wife's work requires us to attend lots of charity galas that are usually black tie. Wearing it three times has paid for it, so the other 10 times I've worn it I've come out ahead.

 

Seems about right. I've been in two weddings recently and I think the rentals ran from 125-175, so you are not that far off.

Tux rentals are a rip off. I bought a standard Tux my freshman year of college for like $500 or so. In the 8 years since then, I've worn it about a dozen times. It a good investment if you think you'll go to a lot of formal events. Unfortunately, when you are in a wedding and have to get a specific Tux, there is not much you can do.

 

Two big money makers are tuxedo rentals and college book stores.

 

I wouldn't be too upset with Men's Wearhouse, because it really depends on the type of tuxes that were picked for the wedding party. When I registered I made sure to pick out a tux that wasn't very expensive for my groomsmen cause I didn't want them to have to pay too much; then since I qualified for a free tux, I got a more expensive one for myself. But their tuxes were around 100 I think.

And Men's Wearhouse is much better than Al's.

 

That's about right. They charge that much because they know they can..... I say take lots of pictures in them.

 

i was the same....i think i picked the kenneth cole, 3 button (no coat tails) for the guys and it came out to be $145 or so including tax. great service...destin at the W Gray location is great!

 

I went to MW and they were really expensive. I couldn't justify telling my guys they had to fork over $200 to be in my wedding. Or that they had to join some weird membership club to get it for cheaper.

I ended up going to Al's and getting the same brand for about $60 less. A couple of my guys already had tuxes, so I told them they could just rent the vest and tie. Also, Al's has a way to submit and pay for your order online, which really helped for the guys coming from out of town. And Al's service was really good. The lady would call me every few days telling me who has and hasn't come in for a fitting.

Al's >>> Men Wearhouse IMO.

 

I BOUGHT my Tux for about $150 from Al's.
