Where to find morning dress?

Chloeagh

FI and I are working on our budget, but we have no idea what his attire will cost. Our wedding will be at 10 or 11am, so he will be in morning dress instead of a tux. I've looked at the standard formalwear sites and googled "rent morning dress," but I haven't found anything. I know we don't have to worry about actually buying it for a long time, but we need to get an idea of how much it will cost.

Any suggestions? Right now I'm not too concerned about finding something local.

It's thanks to you! We didn't know better, but I saw one of your posts where you linked to a guide for formalwear. I showed it to FI and now he insists on being properly dressed.

Al's formalwear rents morning coats, as well as suits.  Can I have a link to that website?    I've been looking for a guideline on menswear etiquette, because we are having a morning wedding and I know a tux is a no-no, but we were hoping a regular suit would be ok.

Morning dress does also include the afternoon. Tuxes should not be worn expect for evening events. One site said morning dress should be worn for events starting before 5pm, but I think a tux would be allowed if it is an event that goes until 10pm or something.. CMGr can correct me if I'm wrong.

</div><div>I know FI doesn't want anything with satin along the trim...but I'm pretty sure he would not go for that morning jacket. He did pick something that is not the traditional formal tux though, but nothing is official yet as we go this wednesday, so I'm interested! ;)</div>

I'm pretty sure a suit is fine for a non-evening wedding.  I am pretty sure CMGr's daughter had a brunch wedding and her SIL looks to be wearing a suit in her sig pic. 
So, my thought is, tux not okay for non-evening wedding, but suit is okay.
