Review on Friar Medieval Hooded Monk Renaissance Priest Robe Costume Cosplay by Jana Bramlage

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Lots to say about this robe.

I purchased this to use as a Halloween costume. Overall, for what I paid for it, I'd say it's reasonable. The construction quality seems solid. Like many others have said, it's quite long. I am 5'10" tall, weigh around 185lb (I comfortably wear a men's large shirt, and 32x32 Levi's.) The robe (size large) gets under my feet a little, and the sleeves completely cover my hands. I can't complain too much about the rope that it comes with. The cross is flimsy (and only an accessory for me - I bought the robe for the robe.) When the robe arrived, it came folded in a plastic bag, which is just fine, but the wrinkles from folding were really intense. I immediately washed and dried it. No washing instructions were provided, but it's 100% polyester or rayon, so I figured it couldn't hurt too much. While there was no damage done to the fabric or the color, the wrinkles held strong. It took me about a half hour to iron out about 90% of the wrinkles. I really can't figure out why they chose to use this fabric. Things would be so much nicer had they used a cotton blend - it'd look better, be more comfortable, and way easier to care for.Ultimately, if you need a robe to use as a costume, and if you don't want to spend big bucks, this'll probably be the one to choose. It is relatively well made, for the money. I just feel they could make some improvements.

Pros
  • Can be customized to your preference
Cons
  • Might be too dramatic for some people's taste
