This just in.

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.

Truth.

I did this at the end of uni, because there was no way I was going to pay rental fees for two separate occasions (had my departmental ball and summer ball a couple of days apart). Not that I’ve had much occasion to wear mine since, but I don’t regret the decision. Now someone invite me to a black-tie event!
