XP: Tuxes etc.

Where besides Men's Wearhouse is worth a stop?  Fi and his sister are probably going tux shopping this weekend.  He wants something very classic, black and white.  He has a fairly large party (7 GMs plus dads).  We live in Jersey City but we have a car and can drive within reason.

What prices are reasonable?  How far in advance should you order your tux?

Any suggestions for a Best Woman's attire?  We are thinking of just asking her to wear any long black dress, and make her a bouquet of the same flowers that will be in the mens' boutonnieres.  Calla lilies.

Thanks ladies.

    We found Men's Warehouse to be our best option since 1 of the Groomsmen lives in CA.  Their prices are pretty reasonable and with 5 other tuxes rented FI gets his tux free or $500 towards a suit for him to keep.

    We chose Vera Wang Black tuxedo for all the guys with a black vest and euro tie for FI and blush vest and euro tie for the groomsmen.  Dad's are doing black vest with a bow tie.

    The cost is $187 including shoes, cufflinks and pocket squares.  We looked at some smaller tuxedo places and they either had dated selections or were more expensive once you added everything in.

    Thanks @Jen7778!  And actually I should have been more clear-- we are definitely looking at MW.  Fi just wants at least one other option in addition to that.

    Every time we've had to rent tuxes, we've done it through Dante. Of course, it works well for us because our local suit shop (yea, we have a place that makes suits) does Dante rentals. Jos A Bank also does tux rentals.

    We actually went to the Tux Shop in Bayonne.  Great prices and they do everything on site.  Unlike Men's Warehouse and Jos A Bank, you can try on all of the tuxes that are there to get a feel for what you like.  At MW and JAB, you pick from a catalog and try on when it arrives.

    We used Hollywood Tuxedo in Kenilworth.  If I remember correctly the guys paid $150 for their tuxes.  We had 6 adult groomsmen plus my dad.  All of our guys were big, tall, or both and everything fit perfect the first time. We got the grooms tux for free.  I believe the ring bearer's tux was $100.

    They were really helpful and patient with us.

    We used Men's Warehouse.  Pretty sure we went in and picked out the tuxes about 4 months before the wedding.  I *think* the guys then had to be fitted by 3 weeks before the wedding?  Don't quote me on that, I can't remember for sure.

    Men's Warehouse is having a promotion right now.  It is $40 off each tux and the grooms is free with the rental of 5 other tuxes....its something to look into and the promo goes until August we jsut got the flyer yesterday.
