groomsman problemo/suit rental near Auburn??

Argh. So, we asked our groomsmen to wear black suits. (FI is wearing a tan/taupe/neutral suit.) Thought that was pretty easy. Turns out my future brother-in-law doesn't have a black suit and wants to wear his gray suit. Says he doesn't have the cash to buy a new suit (if I was the snarky sort, I'd add that he told me that right after telling me he just bought a new car AND a motorcycle). He offered to try to borrow a black suit, and I told him yes please try; it'd be ideal if it was a black suit; Macy's is having a clearance sale; maybe you can rent a suit; etc. FI doesn't care and in fact thinks I am being totally unreasonable. I think we're paying a lot of money for photography and to have one guy (out of six groomsmen) stick out like a sore thumb (who's not the groom, or even the best man) will not look good. I know it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, but come on. It's his ONLY JOB to wear the outfit. I guess I'm just venting here, but is this not SO annoying? I get that he's under-employed, but it's his brother's wedding. Anyone know where to rent a non-tux suit in or near Auburn??

    Thanks! I actually calmed down after I wrote that posting and then Googled "suit rental" and Auburn and came up with three places, including Tuxedo Junction, which I then called (the manager was very nice and they do have suits there). So: problem solved. =)
