This doesn't sound like a bargain to me. I can buy a good quality suit for about $150, maybe less if I catch a good sale. So renting 3 times would be more than it costs to own. If I buy a suit, I keep it for years. The two I have currently were purchased in March 2000 and are both in great shape and get worn several times/year (weddings, bar mitzvahs, etc.). And I have my own tux, as well. I bought one secondhand in 1993 and had it until last year when I finally replaced it with a new one. Renting 3 or 4 times would have cost me more than I spent to buy both of them.
