Grooms suit

Christen, on May 18, 2019 at 1:40 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 9
We are 3 months away. Groom plans to buy his own suit and we have no groomsman. He is still not gotten it and is dragging his feet. How far out is it recommended to purchase a suit?

    If it makes you feel better, we are 2 months out, and are ordering his suit on Monday. Hopefully it gets here in time and fits fine!

    He needs to look now! You dont have much time if he needs to order anything in this size and then get it altered for the perfect fit.

    I would say you still have time. Most men’s suits can be purchased off the rack with little alterations. Just make sure you have all the extras if you are particular (tie, cuff links, etc). If he doesn’t have one a month before I would push him.

    I feel like you’ve got plenty of time.
    FH found his suit at MW (it’s Calvin Klein) and had it significantly altered and it was done within 2 weeks.
    I would say 6 weeks, give or take - unless you need a color not easily found.

    We under 70 days away and he’ll buy his sometime in June. We found the color and style he likes at Nordstrom and they have one week alterations that are either complimentary or minimal cost based on what he needs done so I’m not super worried. As long as he has a plan that’s what matters most!
