Newbery Award-winning author Matt de la Pe a's We Were Here is a "fast, funny, smart, and heartbreaking" novel Booklist]. When it happened, Miguel was sent to Juvi. The judge gave him a year in a group home--said he had to write in a journal so some counselor could try to figure out how he thinks. The judge had no idea that he actually did Miguel a favor. Ever since it happened, his mom can't even look at him in the face. Any home besides his would be a better place to live.But Miguel didn't bet on meeting Rondell or Mong or on any of what happened after they broke out. He only thought about Mexico and getting to the border to where he could start over. Forget his mom. Forget his brother. Forget himself.
Life usually doesn't work out how you think it will, though. And most of the time, running away is the quickest path right back to what you're running from.
From the streets of Stockton to the beaches of Venice, all the way to the Mexican border, We Were Here follows a journey of self-discovery by a boy who is trying to forgive himself in an unforgiving world.

Mans XXL Light Baby Blue Linen Suit 6'5" 225 lbs
Mans XXL Light Baby Blue Linen Suit 6'5" 225 lbs
"This suit fit me perfectly. I was unsure of fit initially so I looked at measurements carefully and selected -true to my size- On suits that arrived a size too big I used a strategy found on Google to shrink my suit. On the wash setting, set it to hottest water setting and tumble/time setting. On the dryer set it to longest hottest heat setting and two things will happen, it will take out wrinkles and be a perfect fit!

4.5 Stars.. Comfy, but Really Check the Size Charts
I love the material of this suit. Very comfy fabric. Out of the box, it was WAY less wrinkled than I thought it would be. The pics I took are of the suit are straight out of the packaging.
When it comes to the suit itself, I really have nothing but complements. I will note a few items on the sizing:
I am 6'3", 270, and I got the 3XL. The size chart says it goes to 260lb, and I think it is right, but with a caveat... Here's why:
Pants: The pants actually fit me great. There is a comfort waistband, but I don't even really need it. I generally wear a 40" jean; 38" when they go to a loose fit.. The inseam is great as well. I am either a 32" or 34", but most 32" inseams are a bit short...
Jacket. I tend to wear a XXLT or a 52L from a suit shop. The shoulders of the jacket fit fine. It feels OK through the arms and chest, but it is probably 1/2 - 1" away from a comfortable ability to button the jacket at my "gut". Thus my comment about sizing.
I am a bit surprised that the pants fit so well through the waist but the jacket does not fit as ideally. Still - I think I am only a few pounds away from a good fit.
So I kept the 5 star review with the note as the size chart does call it out... Being so descriptive here for your benefit.

 Pretty good suit
I am pleasantly impressed with the quality of the suit. Out-of-the-box, this suit fits me nearly perfectly and I may only have to do minimal alterations. I usually wear a size medium and the jacket fits me perfectly in the shoulder area. In dress shirt sizing, I usually buy a 15-15 1/2 x 34-35 sleeve length. The sleeves in this suit fit me perfectly, and the buttons are high enough so one can take the sleeves in a little over an inch, making the sleeves an inch shorter.
This suit is a slim fit suit, yet the suit hangs loosely around the stomach area. Tightening up the stomach area is an easy alteration, and I may just move the button an inch to give me the desirable V-shaped look. Talking about buttons, the suit is only a single button jacket, and the cut is like a two button jacket. Why they make single button jackets is beyond me, but they include a second button if one wants to alter the jacket into a two button jacket. I understand the decision to make midsection a little loose as many people to have a belly. Yet this suit is slim fit, and if one wants the tailored look, one would have to move the button in or alter the jacket a bit.
My typical pan size is 32x32 and these pants fit fine. The legs may be an inch long, so I would say these medium pants are 32x33. There is some extra fabric so one can let out another inch, and one can shorten the pants as much as they like.
The fabric feels alright for a polyester suit.Â
Overall, this is a really nice suit, but does not have the complete tailored look like I get with some other designer slim fit suits. They designed this suit for someone with a little belly as well.

Not what I envisioned
The linen looks like cotton and the lapel is VERY wide. The sleeve are too long for the size I ordered. I had to spend an additional $50.00 for alterations.

costume and professional
This is a fun suit and would be amusing to wear to a date. It screams out pompous in a delightful way.
I like the fit overall and while not perfect it wears well enough. Best of all is that I can dance in it.
I attached some media so that you can get a crystal clear idea about what this suits appearance is.
The bottomline is that most people will find this suit playful and maybe even a bit classy.
