Title: Serviceable, but nowhere near great
Date: Oct 22, 2008
This costume is OK, but that's it. Someone else mentioned the wrists being too small in their review, and that is without a doubt the case. I am a skinny guy (32 waist), but I had to squeeze and tug and threaten to rip the fabric to get my hands through. There is no way anyone who has hit puberty could fit comfortably in that. The fabric is VERY thin, as some have stated. This is not a big problem, as you can layer underneath without too much trouble. Just something to keep in mind. The workmanship is pretty shoddy. There was a seam at the chest that missed getting sewn at one point, leaving a hole which required repair. There were loose threads all over the costume which required cutting off. The area around the armpits is oddly cut/sewn, so it restricts your movement. Finally, the costume only came with one shoe cover instead of two.
Overall, I was pleased with the final look of the product, but felt uncomfortable while wearing it due to the difficulties described. Thankfully, my wife is a good seamstress, so she could fix the problems, but not everyone has that luxury. Would I recommend it? If you're on a budget, yes. However, that's only b/c it's the only thing of its kind at a somewhat reasonable price that looks halfway decent. Its quality leaves an awful lot to be desired.

Title: One Size Fits All????
Date: Sep 30, 2008
This costume states it is "one size fits all" and inside the actual garment says it fits 42-48. My husband wears a 42 , is just under 6'2" has a 34 waist and weighs about 215. He couldn't even get his hand into this costume. The wrists were so small he could only get the tips of his fingers through, and we could tell that even if he were able to get his hand through, there was no way it would fit through the shoulders & back and the sleeves would be too short. Since we intended this for the Halloween Party at Disney, I can tell you that it is extremely thin material, so wouldn't be too hot. The shoe covers are very cheap. I don't know that they would last the night.He didn't bother trying on the pants. I don't know what size man this would actually fit (probably a medium) and may require some seamstress skills in the wrist/cuff area.
