My first thought was... yep, I'll get a new suit made up for the wedding. Then, I thought.. what's the consensus on suiting up for the groomsmen?
I'm only having a best man, but we should be wearing the same gear, yes?
Now, if I spring for a new suit, do I do so for the best man? Or does he foot the bill? The suits themselves will not be a one-off use, they'll be perfect for work afterwards.
What's the considered etiquette? Same goes for shirts, ties and links.
Now... what about hiring? The word 'hire' is a bit of a dirty word, not for the notion, but the products available. I'm in Sydney, and all I can see is horrible things, high 4 buttons and general rubbish

When what I'm after is a nice charcoal or navy blue 2 button with an understated pinstripe. It's a daytime lunch affair in winter - dress code is lounge suit.
So... what should I do?
