Why
the men in your wedding party should buy their
formal wear and not rent.
Wedding attire: one of the
great, unsolved mysteries of the traditional
wedding. It is generally prescribed that the
groom, his groomsmen and other men in the wedding
party will wear formal suits or tuxedos that
will most likely match or at least look similar,
while the bride to be will wear a white dress
that looks very different than that of her matching
bridesmaids. This in itself is not much of a
mystery; it is simply a custom that has been
carried on for many generations. Where the mystery
lies is in the fact that the bride to be will
spend a lot of time, effort, and money to buy
a dress that she plans to wear for part of one
day and one day only, while the groom will spend
as little time as possible to rent
formal wear for one day, even though he could
use that same formal wear many times in the
future. So why buy the dress and rent the tux?
That is the mystery.
This introduction
to the new service Tailorit, is not meant
to be an argument in favor of changing
traditional wedding wear or even to convince
brides to be that they should rent dresses,
the goal of this article is to convince
the men that they should buy their formal
suits or tuxedos and forget renting.
If a person could buy
their tux or formal suit at nearly the
same cost as what they pay to rent, wouldn’t
they be money ahead to buy? If the suit
were to be worn just two times it would
save the owner money and the hassle of
renting. Maybe most males in wedding parties
don’t buy because they don’t know that
they can own brand new formal wear, made
exactly to their measurements, delivered
to their homes for about the same cost
as renting used. It’s true. An average
rental will cost anywhere from $125 to
$200 for 24 hours of use, all men in the
wedding party have to go to the store
to get measured (or take their own measurements),
someone has to pick up the rentals the
day of the wedding and someone has to
take them back the next day.
With Tailorit, the groom (and the bride)
decide the fabric, color and style of the
formal wear, gets the guys together (to watch
a game, have a BBQ or some other gathering)
and one of our staff comes to the place of
meeting to take all the measurements. The
suits are then made exactly to the specifications
of wedding party members and are delivered
in less than 2 weeks. All of this will cost
$260 per suit for orders of 4 or less, $250
per suit for orders of 5 to 8, and $240 a
suit for orders of 9 or more.
