Hi!
My fiance and I are having a hard time deciding whether the groomsmen/groom should rent or buy their suits. They are willing to buy as long as it's not too expensive.
For the rental option, we have looked at Men's Warehouse as they are about $200 for a full suit rental package, and they currently offer free JOE Custom Express suit for the groom with 6 paid rental packages (we have 6 groomsmen so we would qualify for that).
For buying, the budget would be around $400, and we have been looking at Indochino since they are currently on sale for $299-399 for a custom-made suit. The other option would be to buy from BR, Jcrew, or Zara and have them take it to a tailor to adjust the lengths and everything. But I'm assuming with that alteration cost and buying other things like shoes, shirts, and accessories, it would become quite expensive for each groomsman to spend on.
Our concern with the buying option is the fact that unless they buy a custom-made suit, it will be hard to make sure everyone gets a suit that fits perfectly. Our concern with the renting option is that it's not so good in terms of value and seems like the quality of the rental suits are poorer.
Would you guys prefer buying or renting? And let us know if you had any experience with any of the brands mentioned above (both buying and renting).
Any suggestions/opinions will be greatly appreciated, thank you!
