Ok, so I live in Brooklyn and having difficulties finding a good and affordable tuxedo rental place for my father and brother. My FH is going to buy his I went to a place and they wanted $100 (rental fee) for the 4 year old's tuxedo are they crazy!!!! You can buy a tuxedo for $30 on ebay!!!
Another question? Both my father and brother are walking me down the aisle.....can they get away with wearing a black suit? or do they need the Tuxedo?
If your father did not wear a tuxedo, could you please post a pic?

Re: Tuxedos!!!
tuxedo places do charge alot even if its for a kid, it is crazy...Many places even charge $150 for kids...thats why for the little ones its sometimes better to buy it for them than rent it bc can come out cheaper

I live in Brooklyn too. My FSIL's husband used Isabella's on Ave U, also I must pass Tuxedo King on Kings Highway (off of West 6) a dozen times a week. My FH wants to buy his; I told him $400 for a tuxedo is ridiculous when you will only use it once; I was going to try and get a nice gown for under $500 for the same reason.
My brother was in a wedding party and they used Zellers, I think it cost him under $100 and they weren't old, they all looked good. I'll see if I could find a pic and post.
As for your father and brother walking you down the aisle; whether or not they need a Tuxedo is up to you; depends on your look. I would want Tux.

yeah, serious rip off.
In mens warehouse, to rent the tux is 150 to buy the same one is like 300.

I completely understand. I went to Classie Tuxedo in bklyn and paid $100 for my nephew's rental. I agree, it is alot for a 4yr old.

Try Mens Warehouse too. Usually with 4 groomsmen the groom is free.

Re: Tuxedos!!!
there is a small place on 18th ave and 62nd street near aldo's photography. they were very reasonably priced when FH was a groomsmen a year ago. that is who we are using
zeller on 5th is a rip off and they 3 time FH had to go to the they screwed up the entire wedding parties orders.

Your father and your brother do not have to wear a tuxedo, if they want to they can wear a black suit. I would maybe get them matching ties or something that compliments each other.
