Need to buy a Tux - please help

[mikeynyc]

I have two black tie weddings in the next few months and I'm ooking to buy a tux.
Has anyone seen any decently priced options around town (NYC)
Should I take a look in C21? Daffys?

I'd like to stay below $500 as I wont get much use out of it.

thanks in advance for any help.

K&G has loads of them. If you're into something nicer then Saks, Bergdorf, NM, etc has them on sale right now.

cheapies for $300 and better quality for $500.

I would say rent one instead.

Filene's Basement usually has some low priced DJ's laying around. I've seen some at Loehmann's, as well.

Rentals are about $100 each time. So that'd be $200 right there. If he can spend around $300 or more, look better, and have use for it later I'd say it's a good investment.

I saw several, including an Armani, at "last call" at Neiman Marcus.

I agree with Jovan. Think you might go to one or two more weddings or other formal events in, say, the next five years? If so, the economics favor buying a tux. Plus it's less of a hassle, you get to pick one you really like and tailor it to fit you, it will undoubtedly be nicer and more comfortable than the rental, etc.
