Chicago Area Tux Rentals
Hi all,
Seeking advice as I look for a tux rental in the Chicago area for an upcoming wedding. Details as follows:
Black tie dress code, I’m a groomsman and the ask was for a classic black tux with satin lapels. No stated preference for fit, although I’d aim for something traditional vs slimmer modern suits. I’ll need the tux jacket/pants, a white shirt, and patent leather shoes or similar, but accessories (bow tie, cuff links, shirt studs etc) will be provided. I’ve had some ebay searches open to potentially purchase secondhand but no luck so far, and with the wedding approaching (second week of June) I figure I should get rolling with a rental, as I don’t expect to need black tie attire often. Budget wise I am flexible and also uncertain on costing of rentals vs purchasing, would like to keep it under $3-400 or so.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Just wanna plug a local business recommended by an acquaintance — where he gets all his suits made. When I called last summer, they said they'd take 6 weeks; maybe it depends on the fabric.

A trek but at least walkable from Red line. And yes, it's safe.
Thanks for the recommendation - do they do rentals or just custom made suits for purchase?
Not sure about rentals. Please call them!
FWIW, South Side probably means cheaper.
Curious. Have you tried /r/chicago, too?
A few updates: I called and GQ doesn’t do rentals, so likely out. I searched around on reddit a bit, r/chicago was mostly several year old threads and recommendations for Macy’s/Men’s wearhouse and I’d prefer something from clothing-focused folks if possible
Men's Wearhouse is a safe option.
Fair enough, appreciate your help!
Good luck! Share the fit/results later.
