Suit hire

[Claymore]

Can anyone recommend a place for renting a suit preferably near to JHB West Rand? My son is going to a matric farewell party and I don't want to spend R3K on a suit he might only wear once. I've found Florida Tailors and Eurosuit so far, no idea how good either is.

Budget then?

Let him wear one of his dad’s suits.

Get him a good tailor-made suit. He won't grow much since he's 18 now so he can wear it for a good coupla years.

Pretty much this. Doesn't have to be expensive at all.

Any one know affordable tailors in JHB then?

I hope everyone at the school was invited.

+1 this, my pants and jacket still fit fine from then, just shirt got swapped once I put on more muscle.
Rather than getting something evening wear, just get him something that would be fine in business as well. Then you don't need another when he does interviews a couple of years later (besides maybe tie and shirt).

Designer Warehouse in Wynberg.

Used Eurosuit for my wedding 10 years ago. Was worthwhile. They make minor alterations so the suit fits you. Took it the Friday - had to have it back by the Tuesday.

I apologize for posting so late about my offer to find a suit. I think someone sooner or later will be looking again for a place to find a costume to rent or buy.

Honestly you could also just go to Edgars/Woolworths and get him one. They have decent suits and the prices aren't too extravagant really. Could probably get a suit for R1k.

Hopefully OPs kid has matriculated by now and doesn't need suit recommendations a year later

Once he moves out and no longer has mom's cooking he will almost certainly grow in width.

Markham has the best priced suits, exceptional value.

We ended up using Florida Tailors. They were outstanding; my son chose a nice blue-grey suit with blue tie and pocket handkerchief. They supplied the lot - suit, tie, shirt, etc., - and were very professional.

I don't live near JHB West Rand, so I can't recommend anything. But you do have the option of having a good suit sewn from scratch at some atelier.

On Christmas day?
Doubt she meant a Christmas father suit.
