El traje se lo compré a mi hijo, dude en comprarlo por internet ya que el tiene 16 años es alto y de complexión robusto, el traje viene de tres piezas el bordado del saco es muy bonito la calidad de la tela es muy buena y resistente viene de acuerdo a la talla, no llega ni muy reducido la talla ni muy grande, solo el pantalón viene sin costura para que lo pongas al largo que tú quieres

Suit looks great for fun formal events
Size: X-Large, Color: Green
The style and fit are great. I did notice a white thread in the shoulder poking out. I used a marker to darken it so it was not noticeable but other than that this suit really looks great. We have a music event in a couple of weeks that I am wearing this to and think it will delight as a sharp but different. I was also happy that it did not require alterations, sleeve length was on spot and everything fit great (XL) also this is a slim fit but I am not that slim and it fit nicely on me. As long as it doesn't disintegrate during the event I will consider this money well spent.
