Do any tux shops rent suits?

I don't understand why not.

Has anyone ever rented a suit, or is that just a silly question. I assumed that becasue you can rent tuxes, you can rent suits - but apparently not!

anyone now anything about that?

A tux really is a suit if you think about it...

true, but we are not doing black, but an olive green color in a light, more casual fabric. It's defintily NOT a tux! Thanks though...

I have a friend who works at Men's Wearhouse. I'll ask her tonight if there is anybody in the industry that rents suits.

Re: Do any tux shops rent suits?

This is the email response I got from my friend. Unfortuantely, it's not the good news I wanted to give you:

It's not a strange question at all, a lot of ppl ask that. I dont know of any suiting store that rents suits, rather than tux's. Thing is that it's not profitable for companies to rent suits, b/c men usually want it perfectly tailored to their bodies so they can wear it over and over... meanwhile tux's are like a once every few years event. A rented garment can't be perfectly tailored, since other ppl have to use it. I'll ask again at work though, but I doubt it because the manager always tells customers that they cant rent suits anywhere (that we know of at least). I'll find out for you in a few days.

Do you have a backup plan in case you can't find a place that will do rentals?
