velvet suits

The Nair Children: William

William looks to be about 11 years old. Like Lorenzo he has carefully combed hair. He also wears a button-on suit. It looks to be another velvet suits. This was not unusual for boys Lonzo's age, but a little unusual for boys William's age. Willian's outfit, however, is a little different. Rather than frills at the collar, Willim has an Eton collar with a small now. There are no decorative frills at the front. The basic suit seems to be very similar to Lonzos's suit. The primary difference is how long the pants are. We are not sure if they were briyght that way or he has outgrown his suit. We thinkn that they were bought thart way. But looking at the sleeve length, we are not suure about it.
