Traje
Size: XX-Large, Color: Dark Black
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
