Doctor Who Costume - Eleventh B005PP6D1U

Doctor Who Costume - Eleventh Doctor Costumes (X-Large) - 3.8 out of 5 stars from 4 customer reviews


"Standard" size misleading
First off, the costume is well put together and looks very authentic. Pair with a sonic screwdriver, black canvas pants, black boots and a fez and you will absolutely look the part. However, the sizing is pretty misleading.

I bought the standard size, figuring that with the product also coming in X-Large and Plus Size (2X) that the standard would be a medium. I was not expecting a perfect fit by any means, but this is big. It should really be labeled Large. Amazon do not provide the measurements, though the Halloween Costumes website does:

Std:
Shirt Chest: 50"
Jacket Chest: 47 1/2"
Jacket Length: 32"

X-L:
Shirt Chest: 51 1/2"
Jacket Chest: 51 1/2"
Jacket Length: 32"

2X-L:
Shirt Chest: 53"
Jacket Chest: 55 1/2"
Jacket Length: 32"

Basically, if you are 6'2" and broad shouldered (as my friend is), the standard jacket will fit you perfectly. Quite how that is standard is anyone's...

Deceptive size titles
When I saw that there were two size options - Standard and X-Large - I figured that Standard should fit well (assuming Standard is Medium).
However when I tried the costume on, the so called Standard turned out to be your regular X-Large.
I usually wear medium sized shirts and this felt like a dress, it was so big.
Despite this size debacle, it looks just like you'd expect. The fabric isn't great but it's good enough for the couple of occasion on which it will be worn.

Came right on time
The extra large fits my son who is in a large shirt the jacket is just a tinny bit big but nothing that he noticed. You need to hang it up because it comes folded and has a lot of wrinkles. But is well worth the money. Note it does not come with the screwdriver. I have seen this same costume on other web sites costing much more than this one.
