Review on 🀡 Classic Black Boys' Tuxedo by Spring Notion - Stylish Clothing by Andrew Gomez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Decent suit with black tie but lots of polyester which some may not like

Every year I take my young son to an opera or two or two here in San Francisco and we wear often a black tie (formal evening dress). As my son has outgrown his latest black tie suit it was time to order something in return and we decided to take a chance. The tuxedo arrived fine just a few days after ordering and at first glance it appears to be slightly larger than Spring Notion's size chart. The main thing I don't like about this suit is that it contains a lot of polyester. This gives the costume a slight "shine" overall, which I think is questionable. If you're buying this for a 3 year old I don't think most people will care or notice, but if you're buying this for a 12 year old that others will see then the sheen of polyester may not be your style. I knew from the description that the formal shirt included in the set was mostly polyester, but I assumed the suit itself would be a wool or cotton blend, which is not the case. Because of this, I'm trying to decide whether to return it or not. Although it is advertised as "Made in the USA" it is actually made in Indonesia (which is fine) but I just thought interested readers would like to know more about it. It also has a slight bulge near the shoulders and an odd fit. I can't say I don't like it and I have a feeling most parents would be happy with a $50 suit or so, but personally I think so

Pros
  • Tuxedo
Cons
  • Not as thick as the other options
