Tuxedo/Dinner Jacket - buy or hire?...
 

Need a tux for a work do in a couple of weeks, and I was going to just hire one, but hire is about £75 just for the jacket, trousers and bow-tie - will still need to buy a shirt. Seems like a lot just to borrow!

Now wondering if I might as well just buy one? It won't get used that often as I can usually get away with wearing a smart suit for these sorts of events, but then using it a couple of times would break even on hire costs!

What do people reckon? Anyone had a similar dilemma?

Try M&S suit for £59.00 http://www.marksandspencer.com/Singl...elated-items-3

oxfam :D

'Tuxedo' is a stupid American name. HTH :D

For what it is worth, Id buy, because you can buy presentable evening wear for less than some firms charge to hire it.

Just go to Matalan & buy yourself a tux. Not to expensive & on the plus side if your ruin it or only wear once you dont need to worry as you havent spent a fortune.

I needed one for a cruise recently and managed to get the jacket, trousers, shirt and bow tie from M&S for under £90! Was good quality too!

Or even a Charity Shop.

I would buy one, I did and they last ages as you hardly ever wear them. In fact, I bought 2 - 1 for when I was slimmer, and 1 when I had put on a few pounds :)

Soon pay for themselves.
