This just in.

putthison:

I have just learned that it costs about $150 to rent a tuxedo from The Men’s Wearhouse.

That’s horrible.

Just buy a tuxedo.

If you’re short on dough, wait for one of those 80% off sales at Jos. A Bank or create a saved search or two on eBay.  Spend $300.  Get something decent.  My whole set of formal clothes cost less than $200, including tailoring.

Come on.  $150?  To rent something horrible?  With a 100% polyester shirt?  Buy.

I would’ve preferred to buy, trust me. But this was one of those instances where it was insisted we all wear the same suit without variation. And when your friend asks you to do something like that for him on his special day, well, you suck it up and bite the bullet. If you agree to be part of the wedding party, then that’s what you sign up for.
