« on: August 22, 2012, 10:30:46 AM »
I m looking for a tuxedo for a friends wedding. Are these best to rent or buy? The wedding is in LA, and I won't be arriving till the day of. Anyone know of a place in LA that does fittings in one day? The best option I found so far is Men's warehouse will fit me in NY and I can pick up the same tux and size in LA.

Advice would he great! TIA

Rent vs. Buy --

Often, it makes sense to purchase if you'll use it more than 2-3 times.

Specifics depend on the cost of the rental vs cost of buying, but that's what I've found,

If you will settle on a regular suit, I'd suggest MonteCarlo on Detroit St, right off La Brea and Beverly, next to Cafe Elite, Elite Cuisine etc. It looks like it is still there, on streetview from Jan 2011.

Who are those guys in the parking lot?
