Good or bad experiences with tuxedo rental companies?
My fiance and I are wondering where to rent the tuxedos for our wedding. What have been your experiences with After Hours Formalwear (now owned by Men's Wearhouse and called MW Tux) or Selix? Are there any others you would recommend? We are located in the San Francisco Bay Area.
We have heard good things about After Hours, but my fiance's friend had a bad experience with the Men's Wearhouse tuxedo rentals several years ago -- they gave his best man a very dirty and smelly tuxedo jacket -- so we are a little wary of using them.
Thanks for any recommendations and advice!

We used an AfterHours in the Bay Area. The guy was really nice, but they screwed up a couple things. Like my dad didnt have a vest, and they charged extra to get some pieces express when it was their fault for not having all the pieces ready. I would not recommend them.
If we lived in the area, we would have shopped around. But we had to plan it all by phone, so we had no way of knowing. Live and learn.
I've heard great things about Men's Wearhouse in my area. I think they were bought out, so you shouldn't have the same problems. We're going with Mister Neat's. Now called Al's Formalwear, and they are great. We used them because they have a local warehouse, in case we need something at the last minute.
