Bride to be,
Every Rental Store is different. It is a matter of investigation. Our business guarantees a "Best Fit" but it includes sleeve and leg length alterations to the rental. You need to also bear in mind, you only ever get "Tailored Fit" from Off the Rack products for each gent as the garments aren't made to fit that particular gent. If you are after "Perfect Fit", having a suit Made to Measure is the only way to go.
This said, cost increases as your fitting demand increases. Rental's are always practical options for tuxedos and dinner suits, as the calling for these is very low. Cost for a rental ranges from $150-$300 depending on the business.
The simple solution is do some research a few months before you need the suit. This way he can try things on, and see what he needs.

Hi
This will very much depend on your fiances' build and shape vs the particular hire suit. A suit can fit some quite well off the rack with minor alterations, wheras others may need much more work for various reasons.
We do hire well tailored suits that offer a tailored fit, but obviously it is not perfect for all body shapes. Also not all hire suits are the same so its important to shop around.
At this stage we would recomend visiting your local suit professional so you can establish what sort of fit your fiance is, then your options will be much clearer to you both.
Best wishes

You're right that a hired suit won’t have the same tailored fit as one that’s custom-made or altered specifically for your fiancé. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t look good—it just depends on a few key factors.

Would a Purchased Suit Be Better?
If budget allows, buying a ready-to-wear suit and having it tailored can often be a better investment. It won’t cost as much as a fully bespoke suit, but it will fit much better than a rental and can be worn again in the future.
