Our experience at Men’s Wearhouse wasn’t much different from our first visit to the store.
Out of the hundreds of suits they have in stock, the sales rep only
found one that fit me well right off the shelf. That suit was a Calvin
Klein Extreme Slim Fit ($650), and the name makes it sound like I’m some
malnourished child. In reality, I’m tall with a slimmer build, and
that cut isn’t common among the boxier cut suits Men’s Wearhouse sells.
When I asked about wedding rentals the
associate said they only do tuxedo rentals (no suits). He also pointed
out that renting might be a tough way to go, especially because of how
slim I like my suits. Rentals can’t be altered much if at all, and that
dramatically limits how well a potential wedding outfit will fit. If I
were serious about buying a suit during their popular buy one get one
free sale, the Calvin Klein Extreme Slim Fit (paired with another
similarly priced suit) would cost $325 before alterations. Seems pricey
for a suit that didn’t fit nearly as well as I had hoped.
