I have owned several tuxedos in my life. This is my 4th. The only reason for me to buy it is because there is a summer event I am evening attending that it would be appropriate. I do t go to cruises but I may when I cant travel on my own so U thought this may have more than one use. This one is definitely the lowest quality tuxedo of the four I have owned. On the other hand, it is only $70. It is made of polyester but the construction is actually pretty decent. The shoulders are well put together and correctly padded. The shawl collar is very well put together and a bit on the narrow side (current style). The seems are all very good and the outer pockets are well sewn. There are three inner pockets also, a feature not all tuxedos have. It is fully lined. The buttons are plastic but they look good. They have the advantage of not turning dirty over time like buttons covered with the same material as the white coat would. The buttons are very poorly sewn on so they need reinforcing. There is only one button that one would potentially actually use so it isn't bad to sew on a few extra loops. The fit is quite good, perhaps slight longer than typical. If you are on the shorter end of regular, you may consider the short. The coat will need ironing. It is safe to set the iron at between 3-4 which is between Polyester/Rayon and Cotton Blend. It is pure white. This style does not come in ivory or cream which I would have preferred. For the money, it is more than ok.
