I'm going to be fair on this one
Color: Black, Size: XX-Large
TLDR; Ordered one (XL), too tight. Then ordered a size up (XXL), it was ok-ish but the sewing was horrible. Ended it up returning both and I still give them 4 stars (because this review is fair)
So to my review:
I wanted to like this suit. It had great reviews and it is, in all honesty, not that expensive. When I ordered the first suit (XL) I noticed that the fabric was super cheap but somewhat passable. The jacket did not close at all but the pants fit and they were surprisingly decent-ish. It is a slim fit suit so take it from there... the pants were tight in the leg BUT I did welcome A LOT the fact that comes with an elastic waist so it is pretty adjustable. THAT right there is probably one of my favorite things about this suit. I was on the fence of liking this suit so I thought maybe if I tried a bigger size it would made a difference.
So then I ordered an XXL and arrived the next day, great. Tried it and the jacket now fit but the pants were not the best fit of all... don't get me wrong, the elastic waist worked great and it was helpful but I definitely needed a belt for this one. Regardless, upon inspection of the new jacket I noticed that the one side was uneven. In the back, there is a separation between both sides, joined by a thin thread that joins both flaps together. You could tell that one side was longer than the other. I was upset but gave it some thought because this is what happens when you buy these type of things online, you are bound to find some items that may or may not work for you.
By the way, it comes with a nice vest (waaaaay too tight regardless the size) and a bowtie, which, in my opinion, just don't bother with this one guys
Truth be told, you can get a suit from a brand name retailer (on sale) for about $150- $200 that you might not encounter those QC issues but you might not have the same features as this one. Unfortunately, I don't have the time hoping the next one will be perfect.
It has it place in your life. If this is for a kid, prom, maybe a cheap wedding that you have to attend, it has its place given the price and features, but if you are going to use it for a gala event please don't, you will NOT look great.... that is why, even though I had to return both, I still gave it 4 stars and I will be buying a tux separates. More expensive, yes but it will also compliment my look completely. It won't be a one use only.
Hope this helps
P.S: Shipping has LOTS to be desired!! it comes in THE plastic bag that the suit comes folded in, nothing to protect it from the elements when its delivered, not even a shipping bag!!!. For that alone they will get a 1 Star (but that is on Amazon)

No bow tie
Color: Burgundy, Size: XX-Large
Perfect fit for my son he's 6'2" about 220lbs. He ordered 2XL . I would've gave it 5 stars but he did not receive the bow tie, and his prom is tomorrow! Now I gotta go out snd spend more money buying the bow tie separately.

Sharp suit
Color: Black, Size: X-Small, Color: Black, Size: X-Small
The quality of the suit is very nice. The material feels thick and does not feel cheap at all. My son and I were both very pleased with this three piece suit altogether. We went off of size recommendation and due to personal preference we both agreed if we weren’t already in time crunch we would’ve sized up one size. Still managed to make it work and looked very sharp.
He is 5’10” 150lbs - size ordered extra small
