Tuxedo rental sources in the Greater Boston area (selection)

Summer 2003 rates

Performers in both university, professional, and social settings often are asked to appear in a tuxedo. There are handsome tuxedos in the $150-$200 price range. Such a tuxedo purchase will pay for itself, if you consider the cost of tux rental twice a year for HRC concerts alone.
