Formal Hire for Men

Looking for a bit of advice on men's wedding hire, was going to have a look at debenhams but their reviews are awful, Moss Bros I know is also popular but they seem to have a £200 deposit per suit which for six suits is too much. What are peoples experiences? Who else would you recommend? Burtons, Austin Reed, BHS.....

    Hi
    There's a specific 'weddings' board so you might get more replies if you post on there.

    Have you looked around locally? I went to a local man who I was put onto from people who'd hired son's school prom suits from him. Used him for my son's prom then for our wedding. He was able to source loads of different suppliers, came to our house and arranged to collect from a neighbour a few days afterwards when we were on honeymoon. So convenient and much cheaper than the big stores

    I hired from Moss. Just put the deposit on your credit card and they will just hold the funds, you don't need to give them actual cash.

    We used Formally Yours for our wedding. All done online but the service was great and we were really happy with the suits.
