Calling all suit hire/tailor HIBs!

There are not many suit hire/tailor hibs. Just me I think. ?

I am not aware of anyone who hires a Frock Coat in a brown but someone may have one, it is just not something I have ever seen. I would imagine this is because a frock coat is so traditional and brown is relatively modern colour by comparison.

Frock Coat:

Brown tail suit:

It is not the type of thing I think you will find to hire but it I could certainly have one made for you. Maybe the Groom could wear the Frock Coat and the rest of the party could hire a tail suit (like above) or a lounge suit:

Just out of professional interest why does your OH prefer the frock coat style?

Having given this some thought (and some googling) Brown frock coats dis exsist but back in the 1900's by the look of it. The only ones I can find on google images are costumes for the theatre. So maybe you could get in touch with Costume hire (not fancy dress) places?
