Default mens suit hire

Hello, as part of our budgeting please can someone give me a rough idea of how much hiring a mens suit costs?

It will be whole suit hire for the dads and H2B and best man and then just waistcoats and cravats for the four ushers (my bros and jacks best friends)

Thanks!

Like Claire said, about £50 should cover the whole kit and caboodle!

I might be looking in the wrong places, but from places and brochures I've seen the average is £70 ish. Where can you get the whole kit for £50 from? I could do with that place!!

I think the average price is about £75 - £85, for "nice" waistcoats and cravats.

I was quoted £55 for tails, trousers, shirt, shoes, hat and dovegray waistcoat and cravat. Fancy ones were charged seperately depending upon the material used (ie, silk waistcoats were trés expensive!).

HTH,

Lo xxx
