Delboy71 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Greenwoods sell and rent them. Best bet is to buy one for about £100 including shirt and bow tie. I've got one from there and have worn it at least 10-15 times so it's worked out good value. I have had to buy a new shirt though. I suppose it depends how often you think you'll wear it, I go to a lot of dinners through my job so it makes sense for me to own one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 greenwoods do a student discount too - but they didn't have a sheffield branch 2 years ago you could see if the M&S outlet in Doncaster (or the NEXT one for that matter) has them at a bargain price (as it's no longer Christmas party season) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEMike Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Debenhams and Suits You at Meadowhall both do rental. About £50 at suits you. But, you can buy a full Dinner Suit including shirt and bow tie for £109 at Suits you (offer on) or £130 if you go for the slightly posher jacket. Given even the handful of times I've needed to rent, at £50 each (so far three with fourth event in July) I thought, bugger it, I'm not paying you £50 to rent it, I'll buy it for a further £60. The service there was excellent and I'm very happy. Might not need it again for a year or two, but, when I do, then every single time I wear it after that will be pure profit ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickers Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hey I'm going to the ball too. I got my suit this morning from a place opposite Primark in Castle Market, called Formal Affair. With a student discount I paid just under £35 pounds, and it wasn't the bog standard suit either. Only thing is you need to pay a £50 bond on collection and bring some ID.
