Turn-of-the-century Paris was the beating heart of a rapidly changing world. But the City of Light was also a violent place. Criminals eagerly took advantage of the inventive nature of the age--the first getaway car, increasingly dangerous weapons, more creative disguises. The police battled back with a weapon of their own: Alphonse Bertillon, the world's greatest detective, the inventor of the mug shot and the crime-scene photo, and a brilliant innovator who pioneered the new science of criminal investigation. Then on August 21, 1911, came a crime like none other: Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre. It was assumed that Bertillon would quickly solve the mystery and retrieve the painting. It would not be so simple.In The Crimes of Paris, Dorothy and Thomas Hoobler tell the gripping story of the theft and the investigation that followed. Bertillon and his associates would pursue clues leading them into the world of avant-garde artists, cheap apartments in Montmartre and Montparnasse, cabarets, and from this first great mystery into yet others. Their suspects would be everyone from the poet Guillaume Apollinaire to J. P. Morgan to Pablo Picasso. A vivid tapestry of Paris, daring thieves, and relentless investigators, The Crimes of Paris is a heart-pounding true-crime thriller of the highest order, as well as a brilliant account of the modern detective.

Fine but not great
It fit well and looked ok. However the material was thinner and flimsier than I expected. It was quite wrinkled and I couldn’t iron it well without risking melting it due to the polyester content. After ironing for about an hour on low heat it was passable but it was a lot of work to only get a passable result.

Definitely Worth It!

Love this set for my little Easter-man (Khaki - Size 6)! I have a husky 5 year old son. ( I was able to hem the pants myself although his pants slipped down a bit before I tightened his belt) Loved the overall quality for the price!
Kids play - it was the perfect material to give a good look but not break the bank. I purposely bought a bit large to ensure he’ll be able to wear it longer. I’ll be back for the navy suit.

Exceptional boys suit!

Seriously Great Little Suit! True to Size and Looked So Sharp.
I bought this blue suit in a size 12 for my son, and honestly, I was really impressed. You know how sometimes kids' clothes sizing is all over the place? Well, this suit was actually a true size 12, which was a huge relief. It fit him perfectly right out of the box.
And the best part? It looked fantastic on him! The blue is a really nice color, and the suit just looked really well-made. He wore it to a 6th Grade graduation and he looked so grown-up and handsome. We got a ton of compliments.
If you need a good-looking suit for your son that actually fits, you should definitely check this one out. We were really happy with it!
