Q: Can you address the economic value of buying a tux vs. renting? I have a wedding to attend in late September and I’m debating whether I should rent a tuxedo or just invest in buying one. – Ken R.

This is a cool infographic. It makes sense if every wedding you are invited to is tux acceptable. Or is the assumption that a tux will always be appropriate for any wedding?
The one big case for buying would be that you can get it tailored perfectly for your body. Rentals don’t always fit perfectly.
