California CostumesMen's George Washington/Thomas Jefferson/Alexander Hamilton/Colonial Costume

This costume was great! The look and feel was perfect for our event. It came with everything needed to create the look and feel of that era. We were not disappointed with our purchase.

SIZE Medium, 170lbs, 5'7", Hips 45", waist 30", Chest 36B, female: I am a bottom heavy lady so most bagged costumes are way too big up top and way too small on the bottom. For reference, my hips come in at a whopping 45" so my booty almost never fits into men's size medium pants. These pants have a lot of stretch and give, and fit me perfectly with room to give! They would also fit someone smaller than me, and maybe a couple inches bigger than me even.The top was a teeny bit too large in the chest and shoulders because I am smaller on top (36B cup, 30" waist) but it still looks great and I'd rather that than it be too small. I maybe could have even ordered a size small and gotten away with it, but the bottom of the top is all connected as one piece (the jacket is not a true jacket so you have to wear it with the vest as a one-piece) and doesn't have much more room to give over my hips so I think medium was a smart move. If you have slimmer hips than me and you're small/medium on top, get the size small.All that to say, I love this so much that I didn't want to take it off after trying it on...I was tempted to wear it out running my errands, but I'll spare the world today...

Its a cheap costume but a good looking cheap costume. If you're just wearing it out for one evening or one event, the cost is easier to justify than if you're planning on wearing for some theater production (I don't think that it would hold up for the long term).We had a few issues for the one night that we wore it- the straps that hold the boot uppers to your shoes both broke the first time we put them on and the collar has a tendency to flop over. I think if you had a decent sewing machine you could correct both issues (add some construction paper under the collar fold over and sew it in and provide a bit stronger seam on the boots.All in it was a good looking costume when you added in a powdered wig. You will need to have a nude / flesh or white colored dress shirt underneath the coat / vest combo to help avoid any warddrobe issues with the collar coming out of place.

My son wanted me to make him a Hamilton costume for Halloween with 3 days notice! Nope, not happening, but I found this on Amazon, and the reviews sounded promising. It smelled a little strange when we first opened it, but we hung it up and aired it out, and it worked great! It was comfortable and fit with a little room to spare (he is 5'9" and about 115 pounds - we got a small, even though extra-small was recommended, but he's fine with having it a little looser).He was so excited to wear it trick-or-treating with his little brother, and again at high school today for "Throw Back Thursday" day!The fabric isn't too stiff, but still holds it shape. Great details (buttons, etc.) The pants are a simple elastic waisted pant, the coat/shirt frontgoes on in one piece like a shirt, the cravat just connects with velcro like a collar, and the "boots" are just slip on fake fronts that you put on under your own pair of black shoes (he used his marching band shoes - jazz shoes or matte dress shoes would also work.It was hot and humid on Halloween, but he said the fabric wasn't overly hot.

I purchased this uniform to get into the spirit of the 4th of July, and I was more than pleased with the way it turned out. First of all, the buttons are metal, not plastic, which adds a lot of realism and makes the whole costume look and feel so much better. Secondly, this thing is more comfortable than literally 90% of my regular clothes, and the material isn’t too thick or too thin, and for the most part it stays pretty cool, at least compared to other costumes. Third, the color is amazing, it looks at least semi authentic and it’s a truly beautiful costume! It doesn’t come with an undershirt so I used a plain white long sleeve shirt underneath with the sleeves rolled up and black tights underneath the pants, to make it even more comfortable. I normally wear a medium but I had to get a large because they were out of stock and I found that was totally fine because it really does fit me well no matter what size (though I probably can’t confidently say that about everyone who purchases this). Overall, it’s an amazing buy and I’d definitely get another one, actually I might do that anyway but if you’re looking for a good colonial soldier costume without spending hundreds of dollars, this is essentially as good as it gets!

Really nice costume for the price. It fits great on my 6'5'' husband. He usually wears a L tall (and sometimes XL regular) but the XL (regular) size on this costume was perfect for him, not tight nor short. He usually wears tall size dress shirts because he needs extra sleeve length, but the ruffle at the end of the sleeve made it fit well for his extra arm length. The coat is long so it looked good on him. He is very happy with this purchase. He likes the light and cool polyester material, but it is NOT see through. He has a bit of a belly, but not too much, and the jacket is wider by getting a bigger size, and also it opens in the middle, so the fit looks very good and the belly is not visible. When ordering, if you are also tall person, I suggest getting a size larger, like we did, and then it fits perfect. Otherwise your normal size may be good. The vest is sewn, so you may need to have this into account if you have a big belly, though. We really recommend this costume!

This costume looks better in real-life than you are probably thinking. It does feel fairly fragile and the tag basically says you can't really wash it if it gets dirty, but it does a great job as a one-off or occasional costume. I added separate "frills" on top of what comes with the costume. But otherwise, this costume comes with everything you need (all-in-one coat+vest, pants, frill/gaiter, and boot covers). It was slightly big, but a sweatshirt underneath made it fit perfectly.
