Tux? Suit? What is too much to ask for guys to pay?

We went to the Mens Warehouse (NJ) to test the waters. We found that they do not have anything we like to rent ($160-$200). So we looked at the buy. We found an AMAZING suit for $345. Is this too much to ask for the guys to pay? We were thinking of putting $100 towards the suit as the groomsmen gift plus a bottle of nice whiskey ~$50 (so total $245 out of pocket for the guys). There will be 4 guys plus the groom (I hope ). We are getting married in Seattle.. so prices might be different there. I think that we might go to a tux shop when we are in Seattle and see what they have to offer. We really liked the 3 piece Egara Medium Gray Suit. We are also the last in our group of friends to get married and are having the most "formal looking wedding". if that makes a difference. Any thoughts or suggestions.

Our guys bought their suits on eBay for $79. It really does depend on how much they can afford. I think that's nice of you to pay $100 for each guy .

Nordstrom rack also has nice suits for less. Don't buy from MW. I also agree that their rentals are costly and the cheapest ones are cheap ..and then it's still not even theirs to keep or sell

Ask them. The guys shouldn't have to pay a lot more than the bridesmaids. Sure guys get shoes typically but that's an unreal request. Our bridal.party is each out of pocket no more than $100
