California Costumes Men's Adult-Cutthroat Pirate

This will easily fit a layer of warm clothes underneath. Black shoes are helpful to complete the look of the faux boots included in this costume. I bought an XL for my 14 year old son. He is 6 ft tall and wears a 36 size pants. Costume is nice and roomy. Love this costume! Worth the price.

Excellent service and fast shipping

I bought this costume for my bf. We went as a pirate couple to a Halloween party. He likes his costume loose so this was the perfect fit for him. There was three complaints. through out the night his black sleeves band or cuffs whatever you call them kept coming undone. I tied them double knotted like shoelaces but it kept undoing itself. I didn’t want to permantly knot them because we still need to get them off when we come home. The threads on the sleeves near his wrist also came undone. This is an easy fix if you know how to sow but it came undone while we were at the party. His boot sleeves was made incorrectly . I don’t know how else to explain it but it didn’t fit correctly over his shoes. So he just tucked them into his shoes. Overall he looked good and we were the best looking costumes at the party 😆

Let me start with the bottom line: for the price, I think this is a good deal and I'm very happy with it. It fits well and when it is all put together, it looks pretty much like the picture. I bought this for pirate night on a Disney cruise, and I think this will be just fine for that purpose. I put the boot covers over my 3/4 height boots, and unless you are really looking, you can't tell that these are not a real knee-high boots. Now for some of my quibbles. As some other reviews have noted, the material is pretty thin. My wife and I have checked in all kinds of light, and I feel pretty comfortable wearing the top with no undershirt, and only my usual briefs under the pants - nothing shows. Also as others have noted, there is no belt for the pants, only elastic to hold them up, and there are no pockets. That's not all bad. A 16th Century pirate wouldn't have had pockets in his pants, either. I will wear a small bag over my shoulder, just as a pirate would have done. The laces that come with the gauntlets and the shirt are okay, but they don't stay tied too well and the ends tend to fray pretty quickly. I replaced them with some black leather shoe laces that work better and look more authentic. They didn't have nylon in the 16th Century, you know. The belt that comes with the costume just ties in the back. I may choose the replace that, but if I don't, from the front it looks okay, just as it does in the picture. The one big thing about the belt is that the fake buckle is pretty flimsy. I may add some stiffener to to back with a little glue to keep the buckle looking straight and sharp. That will be an easy fix. So, this is obviously not perfect. But with just a very little bit of effort I think this is going to work very well. Only time will tell if it will survive more than one wearing, but for the price, I'm okay even if it doesn't.

This is a difficult product to review. Amazon defines 3 stars as "it's okay" and that's how I feel about this product. I think any fewer stars is too harsh considering the price, but any more stars ignores the fact -- at the end of the day -- this is a cheap Halloween costume not much unlike any other you'd find at a Party Store. And I don't know why the bad quality of these products is a thing to be celebrated. It's OK and it gets the job done. Here is an assessment of each item that comes with the kit: Shirt/Vest combo: The bagginness of the sleeves is saved by the cuffs. I'm fortune that I've been working out over the last year, because if I didn't, even the Small would have been a billowy, sprawling landscape of cloth. This is definitely an item made for the classic Big American. If you are skinny, I hope Extra Small is in stock, and even that might be pushing it. That being said, the quality of the shirt was OK. It was a little hot to wear as the fabric didn't breathe well, but it looked decent enough, which is thankful since it is perhaps the centerpiece of the outfit. Leggings: Not bad. The fit was better than the shirt. Same issue of breathability though. It's not a fabric you would want to wear very often, but for one or two Halloween parties it's fine. Cuffs: These help with the puffiness of the shirt, and they actually look pretty good. One of the better parts of the costume. Belt: This thing is is the lowest point of the costume. I recommend finding an alternative somewhere else. It might as well have been made by a Kindergarten student in art class using construction paper. Bandanna: So-so. The front looks good, but the backside of the fabric is blank. It will likely get turned around during wear, exposing the blank backside, which makes it look cheap (which it is, of course, but it could do a better job of not looking cheap). Boot "Toppers": Eh...Paired with the right shoes/actual boots, they look OK. I lucked out because I have some cheap black boots I wore them with, and it gave them a nice accent. It's fine when you're out in the night of Halloween, but under scrutiny they don't hold up well. CLOSING THOUGHTS: The main thing that gets this item 3 stars is its price. The fact that you get a mostly complete pirate costume for less than $25 is nice. But if I were to do it all over again, I would have planned out my costume more ahead of time and built my costume from scratch. It would have looked better. That being said, this was a good item to order in a pinch. I needed a costume quickly, and quickly I received it at a reasonable price. So it earns 3 stars mostly for convenience and value. But nothing in life is free, and the cost of that value is the quality. It suffers to get to that price point. So as long as you know what you're getting into, this can be an OK purchase.

Fun outfit that size seems to good. It’s a good costume to wear once a year. Accessories are good for appearance and comfortable fit.

Very good product for the money. There are some reviews saying the quality is poor. It's not great, but it's $25. It does the job great for a few wearings. Also, while the quality isn't great, it does look really good, which is important for something you'll wear once or twice. It does seem to run really big though, so size down.

This costume was so much fun for our Halloween Night activities. My husband, said the costume is very comfortable ... The sandals in the photo are because he's a pirate that lives in SoCal. lol ... We highly recommend this costume
