(There’s a reason they cost several thousand new: pulling one on feels like a gentle hug.) Buying a tuxedo on eBay may cost no more than renting one, and it may be better quality.
But who wears suits here, anyway, except in caskets or maybe at funerals? I often wear sport coats and slacks at nice restaurants, but it isn’t usually required. Most guys don’t.
Where do the used designer suits come from? There are people who wear only designer suits, have half a dozen or more, and replace them every couple years so they will be in style. (No, Brooks Brothers are not designer suits.)

I buy mostly Armani and Hugo Boss including jeans a sweaters ,but the last few years mostly Hugo Boss ,here in the villages when a little cooler I get a lot of use out of sport jackets and jeans and still wear suits ,with no ties a lot n Boston . But hot or cool I still wea a jacket at Sharon it’s fun to dress up , and I don care if people don’t know where my clothes are coming from because I do .I try to give clothes I don’t wear at all to some younger person who I find through word of mouth a younger person could use some nice clothes , they have to be young for my clothes at 5ft 6 135lbs lol middle 80’s and still shopping till I drop one of my only vices left
