Concert musicians - at least the guys - get to dress like penguins.

When I was a lad, tuxedos were expensive. If you wanted to buy one, you
went to the formal rental place and got a used one - heavy, uncomfortable,
and used.

Folks who need to buy tuxedos on a regular basis have figured this out for
us. Yes - our friendly maitre d' - or bartender.
http://www.uniformalwearhouse.com/ caters to the working formal; they have a
tuxedo package for as little as $79. Some of the tuxedos are even machine
washable!

I wouldn't go to a state dinner in one of these necessarily - but for a suit
you're going to dribble spit on, seems like a good deal.
