Debenhams seem to be the cheapest for suit hire. They have a variety of styles -but no tuxedos.
Slaters do tuxedos -unsure of the price but we hired our tails from there- for everything it cost £70 each- bit dearer than I wanted. I wanted top hats but OH said no lol.
Im sure Moss bros all hire tuxedos.

l*g*d

We're getting our tuxedos from M&S @ £49.50 each and sets of dress shirts & black bow ties @ £15 each from BHS. Hope this helps!

This way it costs roughly the same as hiring, but without the hassle and the guys get a suit to keep (which also means you can ask for contribution from best man etc quite happily)

Not correct - look at the link above, then look at Evening Wear.....there are several options, including white tuxedos.

Could buy a Tuxedo from asda for £40 might be worth seeing if they have some in a store near to you to check the quality.

A friend who is a costume maker has seen these tux & said she was really impressed with the quality & cut of them considering the price, so it might be a great idea, as cheap as hiring, plus you could sell on if you wish!

Wow that is a good price - good find VIOLETTA .
Also saves having to get insurance when hiring one too.
Also the M&S one is a grt price too L*G*D- might be best if you were going to sell it on.

Thanks for that link. We are on a tight budget and I have been really worrying about a suit for OH. TBH is isn't really bothered what it looks like so long as he is smart they have a jacket and trouser for £25 and we have seen some nice shirts and ties in Primark (the quality is really good for the price)

The M+S Tuxedos are fab! They're so much better cut and material than Asda ones.
