Tuxedo: Where to buy?

[jckc]

I'm looking for buying a set of tuxedo since it's needed for two ceremonies that will only be weeks apart.

Any suggestion in Vancouver area? Any good/reliable on-line dealer?

It's going to be for an average-sized gentleman.

Thanks.

Check any formal wear store. They usually have ex-rental tuxes for sale at a reasonable price, and also some older styles. Unless you plan on wearing them again in the future, it will probably be cheaper to rent them. I'm a semi-professional musician and wear my tuxes (yes, I have more than one) about 15-25 times a year. The best part about buying ex-rental ones, is that they usually have an adjustable waist. So, if/when you gain some weight, the pants will still fit. :)
