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.

White Highlander Shirt (X-Large) B0043WJZDY

White Highlander Shirt (X-Large) - 3.7 out of 5 stars from 3 customer reviews


Meh
is a good shirt for a fast costume but... is not great it's just a Meh, use it only if you need it fast


Nice period shirt
Worked well for son's Renaissance Faire costume, tho this large ran bigger than most I find in stores. Since there were buttons at the wrists it was ok.


GREAT costume item for the price
Fabric is nice quality, style as shown, and I had to wash it and dye it in hot water for the color we wanted, it didn't shrink a bit, I was really surprised, very nice shirt for the money. The renassiance clothing places sell something like this for $50-75 and it's the same shirt. Only thing you will probably want to change is the buttons, they are large and silver, not what I would want for an authentic look but other than that very good deal and will last you a long time.

Leprechaun (Standard) B0043WH4PA

Leprechaun (Standard) - 4.3 out of 5 stars from 3 customer reviews


Great costume.
Maybe I'm just a fat, but this thing was tight in a few places. I'm giving it 4 stars because it's the most authentic leprechaun outfit you'll get under $100. The buttons fall off very easily, but it looks better without them anyways. I was hired to do a gig as a leprechaun this last St. Paddy's and I used this outfit. People loved it. This is the video I made with the costume:
[...]


good enough
Seems to be fairly well made for something off the costume rack. Way better than a lot of the papery stuff you might see. Real fabric, though thin, but that's OK, too.


Great costume
I just got this costume in the mail and I'm very happy. The material is you standard cheap costume material, but that is what you should expect with any costume.

The hat is made of a soft Styrofoam and is compressed down to fit into the standard flat 12" x 15" plastic display bag like you'd see at any costume store. I mention that because I bought this for a cruise for St Patty's day and was wondering how I was going to get the hat into my suitcase. The "belt" on the hat is thin, scarf like material with a plastic buckle. If you look closely at the picture, you can see that it has a little shimmer to it.

The vest is made of a velvet like material on the front and the standard thin, green material on the back. The vest is 23" long and 22.5" wide. The buttons are plastic, but look bronze. The pockets are non-functional. The vest does open in the front like a standard vest, it is not a pull over like some costumes.

The jacket...

Adult Tin Man Costume (X-Large) B0043WCVFS

Adult Tin Man Costume (X-Large) (X-Large) - 5.0 out of 5 stars from 1 customer reviews


Good costume
I've been researching/shopping Wizard of Oz costumes to use next halloween. This one is a runs big but considering I've sent back 3 Dorathy costumes for being way too small, it's a good thing. My husband is 5'6 about 170 and the large was a bit big but do-able. The fabric is good quality (for a costume) and doesnt look cheap. I would recommend to others and buy again. I just wish I could find a Dorathy costume as nice.

Mens Renaissance Pants B0043WIP44

Mens Renaissance Pants - 3.6 out of 5 stars from 5 customer reviews


Good but could be longer
Ren pants that have pockets and look legit; for 20 bucks, good deal. I got XL, I'm a 6'4" athletically built guy. I'm by no means small but I'm also not overweight at all; just a large frame. Even so, I could probably get 2 of me in these pants the waist is so big. The draw string draws them comfortably tight though. Legs could be 2-3 inches longer, but they look fine when I'm standing up. Other than that I'd say they're great. Thin, freely flowing fabric. VERY comfortable. Honestly I might buy more just to wear as my every day clothes they're so comfortable... you know, if they were 3 inches longer. With that said if you're going to be wearing them in cooler weather (jacket required) I'd wear long johns under these or something so you don't get cold. Should be great for the summer Ren fair though.


Lightweight and cheap
These are VERY lightweight pants. I ordered a large because I was a little worried about the waist, and they are probably closer to a XXL. Not only that, but they are a little short as well, so it's not like I can try and shrink them to fit.
All in all, not very happy with this product and would not recommend for this price.


Good costume pants for the price
Bought these Renaissance pants for my husband to wear to a Renaissance Faire and a costume party. The pants fit him well (he's a large man and had plenty of room in them) and made his outfit look good. Downside is that the material is thin....my husband had to wear bicycle short underneath the pants so there wouldn't be any see-through. Other than that, the pants were fine.

Willy Wonka (Standard) B005KSB0SI

Willy Wonka (Standard) - 3.2 out of 5 stars from 4 customer reviews


Excellent
Bought this for my daughter's golden birthday party. She was so thrilled to have me dressed up as willy wonka. I only wish the hat was a little bigger in size. Fast delivery!


Classic Wonka Costume Does the Job
This classic Wonka costume does the job... barely. It is cheap and cheesy - but effective.
It all came smelling like mothballs or cat pee - but that washed out just fine (hand washing worked).

It is quite warm as the polyester fabric does not breathe.


good costume
The coat is roomy and the shirt/vest work just fine. The pants are kind of like sweat pants, but you could wear your own khakies no problem. The hat is okay, but you could find a nicer one. This is a good costume and it serves it's purpose....it's hard to find the old Willy Wonka costumes.

Big and Comfy
This costume is big and comfy. The belly is already pillowed so no need to add extra stuffing. Glad to see Garfield is still a hit at parties after all of these years.

Captain Blackheart (X-Large) - 4.0 out of 5 stars from 1 customer reviews


Good quality
I dressed up in this costume for a 5-hour parade. The costume is well-made and did not fall apart on me. It held up very well, even walking around for hours. I am very pleased with this product. If they had included boot covers, I would have rated it 5-stars, instead of 4.

Oil Can (Standard) B0042U3F6A

Oil Can (Standard) - 4.5 out of 5 stars from 4 customer reviews


Tinman
We're having a birthday celebration, my mom's 80th..Dorothy, and we will use this as a center piece on a table.


Used with Tin Man Costume
The oil can is lightweight but durable. The "trigger" works. My husband used it with his Tin Man Costume. I carried it in my basket, I was Dorothy.


Life like!
Love it! Great for the Wizard of Oz! You can even fill it with water or something because the top screws off. It is a great and reasonably priced prop!

Bear Adult (Standard) B005KSB1YG

Bear Adult (Standard) - 4.0 out of 5 stars from 2 customer reviews


Good quality for the price
It's cute, comfortable, warm for those of you who have cold Halloweens like I do.

Subtracting one star because it should REALLY come with a zipper or button fly, because it's not easy to get out of if you're out celebrating and need to make bathroom trips (I went ahead and modified it for this purpose).


Good costume and warm too!
Used this for my ewok costume this year and was pleased with the quality and comfort of the suit.

Also works for a Smokey costume, just grab a hat and put a pair of jeans on over it!

Awesome Costume
I purchased this outfit for an amateur theater group production and to say these excelled our expectations is an understatement great costume very good quality

Costumes Galore Inc Men's Kiss B0042TWC9M

Costumes Galore Inc Men's Kiss Spaceman Half Mask Multicoloured One Size - 3.0 out of 5 stars from 1 customer reviews


Spaceman Mask Review
I found that the mask, like the Demon and Starchild masks, could be better designed. The eye holes are too small, but the foam piece is a nice touch. Also, it's a little bigger than my face, so it fits weird.I also wish the make-up design more closely mirrored Ace Frehley's design, which is more curved on the bottom and the three peaks on top are all the same size and wider.
