I rented a tux recently. It was just an ill-fitting polyester suit with a very

thin line of satin on the lapel that wasn't even visible more than six inches away. Same with the pants. Why spend $100 to rent that crap for a day when you could buy a much better-fitting suit and wear a vest/bowtie with it, then have it to wear later?

Renting a cheap tux = $100. Buying a cheap suit = $100
