What to consider when deciding whether to rent or buy
Style & Selections
Style & Selections
Rental brands have to stock A LOT of each suit, so you're often limited to a small handful of choices. Don't want one of the three shades of grey? Too bad. Love the blue color but want brown buttons instead of black? Tough.
At SARTORO, you haveover 100 fabrics to choose from in our standard collection alone. And everything is fully customizable (yes, including the buttons).
RENTALS WIN IF: you aren't particular about the color, fabric or customizations.
CUSTOM WINS IF: you want a suit that perfectly matches your wedding vision.

Price & Value
Price & Value
Unquestionably, renting will always be the cheapest option. But consider that, unlike a wedding dress, a suit isn't a one-time-use garment. When you buy custom, you'll have an exceptional garment that you'll be able to wear for years to come.
If you save yourself from renting just 1-2 times in the future, buying actually becomes the more economical option. This won't be your last event - your new favorite suit will get a lot of miles in years to come.
RENTALS WIN IF: the cheapest option is more important than quality or choice.
CUSTOM WINS IF: you'll wear the suit again 1-2 times in the next few years.

Sizing & Fit.
There's not much of a debate when it comes to getting an exceptional fit. Ready-to-wear garments, especially rentals, are made to fit as many body types as possible in each size. The result? Sleeves & pant legs that are often too long, a boxier midsection and less than perfect length. But hey, it's just your wedding pictures right? Not like you'll have them forever or anything...
To be clear, you absolutely can get a great fit from off-the-rack rentals, but only if your body size and type lines up with the patterns they use for their sizes. And if you don't have an average build, you'll have a much harder time finding a great fit. Custom is in an entirely different league. See for yourself below.
Service & Support
Service & Support
Most of the big brands have a simple approach -- churn and burn. Need something fixed? It will be a few days before your wedding - good luck!
SARTORO is different. Every groom is assigned a dedicated stylist to help throughout the entire process. And everyone will have their garments well in advance; plenty of time to resolve any issues that may arise.
Find out for yourself - schedule a virtual appointment and meet with our team. It's free.
