As many of you know, searching for suits for the boys has not been easy. In fact its been sort of a nightmare. Well that nightmare has officially been put to rest! Everyone has suits!
After searching high and low for a gray, wool, price conscious suit Ryan spotted one on sale at Kohls. He went on a scouting mission to the store to try it on and see if it fit well or even looked nice (which it did). So spur of the moment we piled everyone, minus Owen who lives in nowhere-a-go-go land, in the car and went to buy them. The boys looked awesome in their three piece (yes I FINALLY convinced Michael that they were wearing vests. boom roasted.) medium gray suits!
Exhibit A: Ryan's "model" face... also cute socks...
Exhibit B: Mom rockin' something similar to what Michael will be in. Aren't they dashing?
That's awesome, you might say, it was so easy, you might also say. WRONG! Did we find everyone a suit? yes. Does everyone look fabulous? yes. Did we have to scour every store in Oregon? yes. WHAT?! Apparently they physically don't make a jacket in the right size for Owen. How is that possible? He wears a 42 long which seems like a pretty dang standard size but no, doesn't exist. SO we were stuck between a rock and a hard place. Do we get him the bigger jacket and have it taken in or do we get the smaller jacket and hope the sleeves can be lengthened enough?
Well after buying him all the wrong sizes in all three pieces, returning, exchanging, and trying to keep the discounted sale price we talked to a seamstress who brought us to the conclusion that we needed the big jacket. All in all its been exhausting trying to find something that shouldn't be so difficult BUT it was worth it, they are all going to look awesome AND they can keep them instead of returning them the day after the wedding.
