Suggested fabrics and fabric requirements: 

A large men's shirt or jacket. For ages 4 and above, the bigger the better.

Suit jackets are not as wide as shirts at the top of the arm, so for ages 4 and above, check the jacket arm is wide enough at the top of the sleeve before cutting.

For ages 5 and 6, you will need an XXL shirt (17" collar or bigger) or jacket, and the trousers might be a little shorter than ankle length (but this can be cute).

If you would like pockets on the trousers, choose a shirt with pockets!

Sizing: 1 - 6 years. Please check the size chart and finished garment measurements.

Notions: 1" (2.5 cm) wide elastic // Optional: New buttons for cuffs.
