    We hired ours - went for black tails - £75pp including suit, shirt, waistcoats and ties.

    They did regular type suits or longer suits too. I think it started at £50 for a regular suit set.

    It was an independant tailors, but i think the hire company they use is peter posh which is a nationwide hirer that many smaller tailors use.

    I would be so happy with £46 pp but i have a feeling OH will say no, as much as i try to convince him, i really would be happy with those but he seems to be abit stuck in his ways, which im trying to get him out of, he doesnt seem to realise the cost - in his eyes i think he is looking at a £200 upwards price range which is stupid. grrrr lol thanks girls im going to speak to him tonight. thanks again :) xxx

    We didn't bother with the whole getting a suit for all the blokes. My husband bought himself a really nice Ted Baker Suit and as a gift we bought a matching one for best man. They were £280 each but because we bought two we got them both for £500 :D

    We are not bothering either! OH is going to get a nice suit, as Is the best man (he wants one), but the attendants are just wearing the black suits they already have. OH jokes that is why he chose them, he knows they all have practically identical suits! :P
