LYC: After a quick search it appears that it would be cheaper for me to buy a tuxedo than rent one. Huh?

Posted by Krusty (aka krustylu) Sep 13 '14, 21:17

The rental places are charging between $150 and $200, and that's for the low end tuxes. I can buy a nice one for $100. I guess I'm going to own a tux.
I'll be the best dressed dog walker. :-)

  - that is also tremendous. - Mel Profit Sep 13, 21:24 19
    - I was looking at rentals but the cheapest options were two places that sold them. - Krusty Sep 13, 21:28 18
      - its not the tux...its the shirts (as in either $$ cleaning or a royal pita to iron) and its tacky to wear tube socks - zeitgeist Sep 13, 21:53
      - single or double breasted? slim or wide collars? -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 13, 21:35 15
        
        people are trying to tell me double breasted is back, but I still don't like it. -- nm - mafic Sep 13, 21:48 7
        
        (basically because you always have to have the jacket buttoned, or it looks stupid) -- nm - mafic Sep 13, 21:50 6
        
        unless you also have a vest on. cumberbuns with DB is wrong -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 13, 21:53 5
        
        I think the vest looks much better. -- nm - Krusty Sep 13, 22:02 4
        
        A tuxedo is to women what lingerie is to men -- nm - Pippy Sep 13, 22:03 3

        Suits in general. A tux is the teddy of suits. -- nm - Spawn Sep 13, 22:06 1

        I have to figure that stuff out. I guess I'll check some men's sites and see what they say and talk to the guy at the store. - Krusty Sep 13, 21:38 6
        
        I am a sucker for double breasted with wide lapels. but this is a question best answered by the women here. - Peglegpete Sep 13, 21:52 5
        
        i love lapelled vests -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 13, 21:55 4
        
        Raymond Reddington has really brought them back. -- nm - Spawn Sep 13, 21:56 2
        
        is that a vest? or a veddy english 5 button suit with an overcoat that looks like the suit jacket/ -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 13, 22:02 1
        
        suit & vest, with a matching overcoat. -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 13, 22:03
        
        me too -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 13, 21:55
      - you totally have no choice. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 13, 21:29
