Groomsmen vests?

Does anyone know if places such as Men's Wearhouse rents JUST the vests? (and if so approx how much ?) We're having a somewhat casual wedding ambiance and the guys like the look of nice dark denim jeans, button ups and vests. We're having a hard time locating vests to purchase in the color scheme/size right now, granted it's JULY so not exactly in season.. (wedding is October) The issue with in store suit vests seem to be they're all "slim fit". While our guys aren't big and tall sizes are anything out of the ordinary, slim fit isn't cutting it. 

Re: Groomsmen vests?

  • I don't know of any place that just rent the vests because vests aren't meant to be worn by themselves.

    Here is one from Jos A. Bank for sale...

    And then Jos A. Bank also does Jacketless packages...

     I also haven't heard of being able to rent just vests. If you do find a place though, I'd also look around a bit, and see the price on purchasing them. I would think a place that will rent them separately, will likely charge a higher rate, to make the rental worth it, on the business end. So you may find buying them, to be less expensive.

    Grrrrr I hate when links won't post!!


  • ooo I'm loving the Jos A Bank options! Thanks!
  • We went to the mens wearhouse near us (Los angeles) and they said you can rent just the vest. We are having our groomsmen rent just the vest and tie. They can wear any black dress shoes, black dress pants, and white dress shirt they already own. I think to rent just the vest and tie was twenty something and then there was an $8 rental fee but I don't have my notes in front of me. Call some rental places and ask around.  Good luck!
  • I have found that vests may be difficult to find, but often aren't that expensive to just purchase.  Macy's, JC Penny's and many other box retailers sell them for anywhere between $20 and $50 bucks a piece.  Also you can check out the outlet stores too!
