For anyone who's rented from Mens Wearhouse, do you know if the guys can rent navy suits or tuxes from there? On the website in the tux rental part all I see is black, gray, white, and tan.

And can anyone give ideas for other places to rent tuxes other than Men's Wearhouse when you have some OOT groomsmen?

I'm not sure about other chain stores for out of town groomsmen. However, there was no navy option at the mens warehouse.

Maybe try Karako? They seemed to have a ton of options.

The only problem with Karako is I think they're only a Long Island company. Unfortunately 3 out of 4 groomsmen are OOT (2 are originally from LI so when they come to visit they can get a suit there but the other one is from upstate and now lives in Washington DC)

I wanted to try this but unfortunately my groomsmen aren't the brightest. But they have a really nice midnight tuxedo rental.

I think w/ the shirt, shoes, cufflinks ends up being around $190 take a look

I've read that Jos. A Bank rents tuxes as well but are a little bit pricier than MW. I remember seeing navy on their site though!

Perfect! I may also look into J Crew Factory or Express suits when they're on sale they're very reasonable. It would just be the issue of having to find everyone's size!

They discontinued their Navy over the summer to redo it. I had a hard time with it for my dad at my wedding. The best location was the one outside the Smithaven Mall on 347, they were the most knowledgeable and help me find a navy vest/tie for my dad and it worked out :)

Thank you so much for this! Hopefully by the time the guys have to get suits (around Feb 2016) the navy suit will be back!

I have an oot gm too. Mw is your only opition UNLESS you have him get measured in dc and you give the place his measurement.....
I'm having the same problem and concerns bc I'm not sure mw is going to have a color to comes close to matching my bm dresses. If they don't getting the oot gm measurements is my.only option.

I know Jos A Bank does rentals and has stores everywhere, but I'm not sure how the quality or pricing is as I've never used them before.

I'm not sure if theres one in Roosevelt field because I live in Suffolk County & I know theres like 5 within a 20 mile radius of me, but there's a bunch all over the island! They're pretty much all over the country too.

My sister got married last year and her groomsmen wore navy suits that they purchased from Jos A Bank and everyone looked great- they bought suits rather than renting since it was not that much more expensive! Definitely check them out! They have locations across the north east I think so should hopefully be convenient for your group! Let me know if you want a picture I can try to upload one!

For those considering Jos A bank, I just saw an ad on TV for buy 1 suit get 3 free. I didn't read any fine print, but that may be a pretty good deal to look into!

If you could upload a photo that would be great! Since we really want navy I think the guys might have to end up buying suits (Jos A Bank sounds great & Express and J Crew factory are cheap when they're on sale!)
