Has anyone found gray suits for rental?

So far, I've only looked at one place- Mr. Tux in Lake Zurich- and they only had one gray suit, and because it was a special order, they wanted $120 or more (depending on the accessories you added) just to rent it!  We could buy a new suit for that much!Anyway, I've heard of people having mixed results with Men's Wearhouse, almost like the selection varies by location, but I don't know if that's really true.Did anyone have any luck?

    Yay!  Thanks!  The Niles location is just a couple miles from our house.  Did you actually get the gray suit, or different one?Did you have a good experience with Savvi?  Sometimes you never know if these smaller chains are better or worse than the bigger chains.

    Sorry long....We have had great experiences with Men's Wearhouse not only for the suits for our wedding but the last few weddings FI has been in.This weekend we just went in and bought four suits at the Schaumburg MW location which, according to the staff, is one of the biggest. We guessed on the guys sizes, and then after we called each gm we called the associate at MW and he just swapped out the suits for the right sizes. There was one that needed to be sent from another store and they did that at no charge. Not only do they have a buy one get one free special now but for every $500 or so you spend you get a $50 gift card which can help for shirts or ties, etc. They hold the suits at the shop until the guys go in for tailoring. The associate we worked with was REALLY helpful in picking things out. GL!

    No we just rented gray tuxes, but we had a great experience with them.  They were helpful and everything came in as it should've.  A few minor alterations needed to be done, but they did those right on site.  Also you get the tuxes 2 days in advance and they have a warehouse in Joliet so if anything is wrong, it's an easy fix.  Plus the prices were the best around from what we found.
