Did your groom rent a tux/suit or buy?

Mine will be purchasing his suit, mainly for the reason that he wants to wear green and we're finding it insanely difficult to find a rental in the green he's looking for. I personally like the custom route because then they have a suit that's been made to fit them for any future formal occasions.

We rented from a local bridal shop because my husband wanted a specific white jack with black trim. My husband lost about 15lbs from the time he was first fitted to the final fitting and they were able to accommodate it. If you're renting a tux, they should be able to make alterations. Typically, you go in a few months before the wedding and they measure him and they order a rental based on his measurements. When it comes in, they ask him to come in to try it on, because they want to make sure it fits. Then, they typically do a final fitting the week before the wedding in case of last-minute alternations.

Try a local bridal salon, many of them carry other brands of tuxes that are fit much better than men's wearhouse.

My FH is buying a suit. The boys are wearing black and he doesn't currently have a black suit so we thought it would be a good idea for him to buy one anyway. It also is nice because with every suit he has ever rented it has been like he's playing dress up so at least he will be able to have it altered to fit.

Yup. There are a few big-name manufactures that they can order from.

My FH bought a suit knowing he wanted something custom and truly tailored for him to wear for several events.

He'll be renting a black tux with a black vest. He's not a suit kinda guy. He really wants a tux. He just said no purple tie, and a vest. He's put on a bit of weight over the years and he wants to hide it. He hasn't asked for anything but that and to be married in a church, so he'll get both
