Suits. :/

Karolyn, on February 9, 2019 at 9:46 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 16
I haven't been this up in the air about anything so far for the wedding. But i am STUMPED. My fiance wants to buy his suit instead of rent, im way okay with that. But where do we go. Most of the places i have contacted are $800ish for a suit. That to me is insanity. I may just be penny pinching. Anyone out there buy a suit and where are good places to look? Pricing?

    Macy’s usually has sales. My husband has gotten suits from there for a couple hundred.

    I know a lot of people who had the groom and all the groomsmen get their suits at Kohl's and be really happy with them. Also check out JC Penney or Macy's.

    Macy’s might be good! I think Nordstrom may still do free alterations? You could put Macy’s gift cards on your wedding registry. Then if you get early wedding gifts or bridal shower gift cards it can go toward the suit.

    There's a pretty awesome store called Indochino that makes completely custom suits. They have sales pretty often. SIL had a beautiful dark gray suit made for less than $400. He got to choose the fabric, from a variety of style options, the lining, etc. They even embroidered the wedding date on the inside over the breast pocket.... It's a beautiful suit and is tailored perfectly for him. The have "brick & mortar" locations as well as an online store.

    For another option, we bought husband's FOB suit at Macy's. He got a beautiful suit, either Calvin Klein or Ralph Lauren, on sale for about $350.

    If he changes his mind and wants to rent, Daughter & SIL were very happy with Black Tux for the GMs.

    We just went to Macy’s to try on suits today and all the ones he liked were under $300. There were tons of sales happening right now.

    Suits can be expensive, but consider this to help put things into perspective: you’re going to wear your dress once. How many uses will your FH get out of a suit? My FH’s custom suit ended up being a few hundred dollars more than my dress (before alterations), but I know he’ll wear it after our wedding for a variety of events, making his suit much more ‘worth it’ than my dress. Totally depends on planned use and what’s important to the both of you.

    JossABanks. They always run sales.
    Also maybe the Brooks Brothers Outlet. I know it’s a huge expense now- but he will have it for many years and it will work for many events to come.

    My FH was in a wedding a while back and all of the groomsmen had to buy their suits. They were $200 from men’s wearhouse!! We snagged him another snappy black suit on a Black Friday sale from Macy’s. It’s a Calvin Klein and I think he got pants and jacket for around $250 total.
