Well, I got prom next weekend, And I need some price estimates from those of you who have rented Tux's... I kinda have no idea how much a rental Tux would cost and need some ball park price estimates..

Thanks for the help.

Back in the day mine was around 100. You might want to go soon cause they need to fit you and have it sent. The earlier the better, or you might get the last one on the rack.

Call around. My city might be more expensive. My tux had lots of accesories and so you might find some for cheaper. Call and ask for estimates and see when you need to get your fitting done by. Maybe where you live it is more laid back and less expensive.

Good Luck and rmember to have fun!

Dont drink and drive!!!!

You can drink but dont drive

I got one for my sisters wedding and it was like 75$. It was a nice tux. I went for a button tie. Button ties are the best.

I've rented 7 tuxes for 5 proms and 2 weddings (yes I know I should just buy one...) and paid anywhere between $85 and $115 depending on the accessories I needed at the time. The ones I've reserved for the wedding are $105.

Just a piece of advice, pony up a little extra for the square toe shoes, if you're renting those as well. Your feet will still hurt after a night on the dance floor, but nowhere near as badly.

Yeah just mabye, I'm getten paid this monday so I can see what kinda cash I got to work with, If all else fails, I'll get a shirt and coat thing from a local seller, Since I already have the shoes and pants... My date does'nt realy care about what i'm wearing so as long as I look the part at least a bit i'm good...

I dont realy have the cash to go drop 80$ on a tux.. So this is a kind of difficult situation to say the least..


All depends on how much I get for this job over the weekend.

Damn prom is expensive as hell.... 42$ just for the tickets, figure like 15$ at least for dinner, 30$ for flowers.. then what ever the heck I end up droppen on what i'm gonna wear.... Dear god.

I think my tux rental was like $150. Thats canadian tho. But yeah, prom can be rather expensive. Lets see...i spent the $150 on the tux, $50 for the ticket, $50 for a limo to go there, and about $30 for that flowery thingy...the corsage.

I'll go Home, I'll go Home,
Full of the devil and full of the rum.
I'll go home, oh I'll go home,
I'll go home in the morning.

Almost all of our dinners together we split the plate of food... Hence the 15$

Here was my train of thought...

I could have rented a nice looking tux for $150-175 bucks, and have it once.

But, I went ahead and bought a suit (Suit jacket, Suit pants, button down shirt and tie) on sale for $275 bucks. Now I will always have a suit for nice occasions. Not to mention a suit is a great multi-tasker. Switch the button down and tie and you practilly have a brand new suit.

I thought I looked pretty damn sexy.

(Im on the right...just making sure)

God damn, prom is cheap.

My junior prom was tonight, but I didnt go, because I'm a loser. Junior prom is $100, and senior is $200, plus pictures and limo and stuff.

Jesus. My Senior year the tickets alone was $180. Pictures were another $100. I saw the girl I took not too long ago and she has a kid now. Glad it isnt mine.

If I wasnt so lazy I could drag a pic out and scan it. Highly unlikely. Since they are packed away in the garage and I havent seen the scanner in a while.
