See through and jacket has no structure
Size: Large, Color: Light Grey, Size: Large, Color: Light Grey
On the positive side, it does appear to be well made. The stitching is clean, the fit is decent, and overall construction seems solid for the price. However, the material is extremely thin much thinner than expected. It’s so lightweight that it is see-through. Both the jacket and pants are unlined, which makes the suit feel even lighter and less structured. I While I understand seersucker is meant to be breathable and comfortable this isnt even seersucker it is a striped polyester blend material. It may work in very hot climates but if you’re looking for something with more structure or durability, this is not the best option. The fabric feels about as thick as a paper towel. Overall, decent construction, but the thinness and lack of a defined shape and lining are disappointing and makes it almost impossible to wear.

Surprisingly good product.
Size: 5X-Large, Color: Grey Black
Came exactly as suspected. When ordering a 3 piece tux I expected to find some sort of problem or something that didn't fit, but I was pleasantly surprised. Looks like the photos and fits as advertised. So very happy. Doesn't look cheap or gimmicky. Thank you!

Good quality stank fishy smell
Size: Small, Color: Silver
Beautiful but it stank badly smells like fish. Wherever y'all have it stored in when y'all have it needs to be cleaned out. Now I have to take it to get cleaned/steamed because of this stank smell. Need give me some of my money back much as it cost. Now I got to pay get smell out of it is ridiculous. Cost to much for this to smell how it smells.
