Suits for very tall ushers - Help!!!

FMG, 1 February, 2013 at 09:55 Posted on Planning 0 5

Hi! I was hoping that someone may be able to help as I am having problems finding suits to hire for my ushers. My OH is buying his suit and this is it;


Sorry it's huge!

We were hoping to hire suits for ushers, BM and FOB, however our problem is my brother is 6'7, with long arms and a 37'' leg length. I can find anywhere that hire suits in a style and colour similar to my OH with the matching waistcoat. My brother is a bit sensitive and told me the other night that he didn't want to look stupid (fair enough) but at the same time other than going out buying suits for them all and spending a fortune I really don't know what to do! Any suggestions gratefully received!!!

    I'm at the wrong end of the country to offer any help but hopefully someone else will be along soon. Good luck!

    Sorry not from that area, but maybe phone around all the hire shops and bridal shops first to ask them? Then he won't feel embarrassed, if he turns up and they don't have anything to fit. You'd think they must cater for a variety of shapes and sizes.

    My OH is 6' 7 and never has problems hiring or buying suits. He bought one recently from High and Mighty in Manchester which also does mail order. My bridesman is also over 6ft and it was no problem for the hire shop. They just added bits of extra material for him and OH. Any good suit hire place will be able to cater for them, don't worry.
