   Not bad! But be warned, because there is no sword or shield like in the photo. I even went back to look to see if it clearly states that there is no sword or shield included, but it does not, or at least not on the initial add that I could see. It really should be there plain in bold letters. But that is the sad nature of marketing. Somehow though, I did not expect a sword, but I was hoping for a shield. At least they did not show a helmet that isn’t there. I have extensive “prop manufacturing” experience, so I had a nice sword made form sheet metal (roofing flashing) in a couple of hours. But a wooden cut out covered with spray mounted aluminum foil with duct tape wrapped thickly for the handle would do just fine.Lack of shield and sword notwithstanding, to me, the costume was a descent snag for the money! It did require three or four safety pins here and there. But hey, when you have to be general in the fit to allow for all kinds of bodies, what else can you expect?Mine was a “large”, I think. But they run large, so be careful! I am 6 feet 1 inches, and I thought the “under dress” or toga part was a bit short, as it came to just above my knee caps. But that is just me. I never even wear shorts except to swim, so that part probably wouldn’t bother most guys.Anyway, it was a big hit at he play I was in! And if you have a bit of imagination, and little time to make a sword, or a shield, get them somewhere, you can make it a really, really cool outfit!But for a costume party, or something like that, it would stand alone just fine.

   I purchased this for an adult Greek themed 2019 Halloween party. It arrived one day after Halloween but within the date range listed when I placed the order. The packaging was in good condition and everything listed was included. I ordered the XL size because I am 6’5”. Everything fit wise was comfortable but the tunic came up a little short on me. Nothing I had that I could wear under it would not be visible so I sacrificed some modesty and just wore the costume as is. It was surprisingly comfortable all evening. The costume itself looks really nice and there are a lot of nice details in it. It’s not exceptionally sturdy however and other than a little bit of thin rubber on the breast plate it is entirely fabric. There are several small strips of Velcro that attach the tunic with the armor and cape to keep everything aligned. They are pretty small and don’t have much contact surface so it took several attempts and once I got them in place I used some black safety pins to hold it together more securely. Several of the Velcro straps were practically falling off of the shin guards so I again resorted to safety pins. They were an adequate temporary solution and held up well. Hot glue is the planned long term fix.I didn’t purchase a shield or sword to go with this. I already had some sandals but I bought a metal helmet separately. It was significantly more than costume itself but Its also looks really cool on my mantle.Overall I would recommend this costume.

   I got this for my husband, he’s 6’5 and 240lbs. The costume was a large and it was still a little big. I had to tie the top together because it was still loose. That was the only adjustment we needed to make. He wore a black shirt underneath which made a nice improvement in aesthetic. Other than that it was absolutely perfect and very realistic looking. He looked so damn sexy too, omg!!! 😛🔥 He got a ton of compliments everywhere he went and lots of pictures and random people complimenting the costume. He made a huge hit at the office costume party too! We liked it so much we used it for role play. 😜 This costume just emphasizes the glory of masculinity. 🔥A huge success, definitely recommend! 💯

   This costume looks good, but the sizing is way off. For starters I ordered a medium and large for my 5’11 185lb frame and I could practically swim in the thing. The collar on both were vary wide and the costume felt loose. I’m a muscular 185-190 and still I couldn’t fill it out like some of the other reviewers. If your a big barrel chested guy you could pull it off.Unfortunately I had to return them both.

   I love the product and read the reviews. I’m 5 10’ and 165lbs definitely get a small. This product came with everything described and fit very nicely. This Halloween is going to be amazing 💪🏼
