This varies significantly from one retailer to another, which is why you should always ask before comparing prices.

Depending on the company and package, hire may include:

• Jacket
• Trousers
• Waistcoat
• Shirt
• Tie
• Bow tie
• Cummerbund
• Pocket square
• Cufflinks
• Braces
• Shoes
• Hat
• Insurance

Some retailers advertise a basic jacket-and-trouser hire price, while others offer more complete packages.

Always ask: “What will my complete outfit cost, and exactly what does that include?”

What Happens If I Lose Part of the Hire Suit?

If part of a hired outfit is lost, the hire company may charge for the missing item. The exact amount will depend on the company’s terms and the item involved. Always check the hire agreement so you know what you’re responsible for.

What Happens If I Damage a Hired Wedding Suit?

Minor wear is normally expected with hire clothing, but significant damage may result in an additional charge. If an accident happens, it’s best to tell the hire company rather than attempting to repair the item yourself.
