Suits

Hi there,

Looking for black matching suits for my groom, best man and 2 groomsmen. Any ideas where to get such things for a reasonable price?

Thanks!

    to hire or to buy?

    IF to hire, try greenwoods/1860 - they usualy have a number of discount weekends as well so keep your eye out.

    Where are you? We hired from a local guy who works with several companies and comes to the home...saves all the hassle of getting the suits back afterwards. We paid £60 per suit for dinner suit, including waistcoat, shirts...think ties would have been included too but we had already bought our own as I wanted to choose the purple :)

    Marks and Spencers do some reasonable suits. Watch out for their discounts too.

    Hi there, can you pm me his details
    thanks
  • Thanks!

    We're in Edinburgh.

    To buy or to hire really, but ideally to buy since if you're paying that much for something you could wear again you may as well buy it! We're just going for ordinary black suits, no tails or kilts!
