Any Moss Bros branch (e.g. Regent Street, Oxford Street etc..).

However you could probably buy a Tux from M&S Marble Arch and get it tailored to fit properly by Pinnas & Needle (my alteration tailors of choice - near Carnaby Street) for less then the rental price.

hello..i rented from moss bros before, but they did not even have short sizes in tuxes, and the tux felt old..

i can expense a tuxedo rental through work, cant expense and m&s purchase, however..
thats why i'd like to rent..

not a bad idea on m&s tux though. actually moss bross had a tux for about 250 that looked ok (cirutti i think) but not sure if i would get more then a few wears out of it due to quality issues..
i'd like to get a dj made up by Chan, but i wear them 4-6 times/year, so was thinking i woudl wear through it too fast..but maybe i should rrethink this

I ended up buying an M&S one when I was in a similar position (maybe four or five wears a year) and it saw me through that period very nicely. Certainly better fit than a rental, less faffing around at the last minute (always happens!) and cheaper over the period than renting (not being able to charge for it). Ended up donating it to friend for a nominal fee when that phase of my life was over.
Handy things to have on standby, even if you're not wearing them on a regular basis (as a 'Sweaty Sock', my highland dress has to do the job these days).
[Edit. Usually a few second hand ones floating around as well though good ones seem to go quick in the run up to Xmas, especially if there's a university nearby]
