We often have customers ask us if they should purchase or rent a tuxedo or suit for themselves for a particular event. Usually, it is better to rent, but how do you know if you should purchase a suit or tuxedo? Well there are a couple factors that can help you decide what is best for you.
We have certain customers who attend a lot of black tie events or have a lot coming up for them, and it may actually be more inconvenient to rent a tuxedo or suit. This also goes for the person who has to attend a lot of upcoming weddings for family or friends. Some customers also want their garments to fit a specific way, and only minor alterations can be done to rental garments. Even if you just want to have a tuxedo or suit for yourself just in case, there are a couple of benefits to purchasing.
You will never need to worry about having to find somewhere to rent a tuxedo for any future events. Renting requires that you have to get measured, you have to return to try on the garments, and you may or may not need alterations. Altertations can be done on rental garments, but typically nothing major. If you purchase your own garments, you may only need it tailored once to your liking and you will not have to worry about it again. Everyone has different body types as well and sometimes certain people have issues finding clothing that fits them from the start. If you purchase your garments and have them altered, you won't have to worry about it again.
We also have packages for our customers who are looking to purchase. So when you're deciding if your should purchase or rent, think over these factors and choose what is best for you.
