For today's video, we did something I thought we'd never do. PS: We rented tuxedos. SRS: So why on earth would we do that? PS: Well, we wanted to see if you could get something that fits reasonably well just from ordering from different locations. SRS: Or if you're just better off buying something and having it tailored so you actually look the part. I was under the assumption that it's always better because something that you own that you can tailor and you're in a budget even if that means it's secondhand versus something that's rented and ill-fitting. PS: Right, it's always better to have your own formal wear, if for no other reason then it's just going to be more cost-effective to buy once than to rent continuously. SRS: Even if you think you're just going to wear it once, I still think you can find something very inexpensively and have it tailored. It's maybe a little more expensive at the end of the day but you actually look better and you can always sell it afterwards. PS: True, right! Cost per wear is important too, upfront cost may be higher but if you can wear it over the years, that's going to be a lot better than continuously renting. SRS: I mean once you have a tuxedo, you are much more likely to wear it again. PS: Absolutely, yeah! I've got a couple of different black tie ensembles now and I wear all of them fairly frequently. SRS: I guess you're an exception though because you're a jazz singer so there's more use for that, anyways. PS: This is true! SRS: And you work for the Gentleman's Gazette so.. PS: Right, two good reasons. Now, in fairness, part of the reason we did this today is because the industry has made strides over the last decade or so, it used to be you would have to go into a brick-and-mortar location, you'd have to get fitted, that might be a continuous process but today, there are several online companies that just do back and forth through the mail. SRS: Yeah, most notably like Menguin, The Black Tux, and even like traditional Men's Wearhouse now offers online rentals. PS: Right! SRS: So with that being said, there are a bunch of major pitfalls to renting, right? Please watch the video to find out the major disadvantages of Rental Tuxedos!
