Any other color than white

I'm 5'9, I bought a medium one, it fits perfect. That's not the problem.I bought this for the renaissance festival in town and needed it by friday, the only one that would ship in time was the white one. It arrived in time, it fits, the problem is that these literally look like KKK robes. The hood is giant, and when I put the hood on it looks even more like a KKK outfit since the hood is pointy.I'm sure this was an accident, and they make these robes in many different colors. I'm going to wear…

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • The robe might not hold up well after multiple washings

Great product, cheap and solid

I bought the robes as a last minute costume. They arrived quickly and everything was just as it should be. They were a bit more "silky" than I expected and very thin but I still liked them. It came with the cross and the rope belt. Everything fit as it should.My two complaints, and they're minor are;1. The hood, when down, kept finding its way from the back to the front, super annoying.2. The bottom wasn't quite wide enough when walking. If I took a slightly long stride, I would it the fabric…

Pros
  • Costumes & Cosplay Apparel
Cons
  • Might not be suitable for formal events

Great fit, Good quality

Good quality garment that fits as described. I am a thicker man (5'9", 265 lbs., 52" chest, 40" waist) and I ordered the XL. Other than being a little too long it fits great. The hood on the cowl is large and creates the affect shown in the image. The only negative is the robe belt. It could be longer to create a better effect but it matches the pictures so I should complain. The material is a thick polyester and doesn't breath, so be ready to be warm.

Pros
  • Fits both men and women
Cons
  • The robe might not be appropriate for all body shapes and sizes

As expected in my review

Product arrived quickly, material feels fine enough for a costume, so on. Be forewarned, your hood may be in a separate package, especially if you ordered multiple products from ebay at once. I ordered an XXL, chest is quite a bit tight compared to the looseness of the rest of the robe.

Pros
  • Hood protects you from the elements
Cons
  • The fabric might not be non-fading

Great Costume in my review

I am about 5'9" 190 - 200 bought the XL robe.Couldn't take long steps. Hard to walk up stairs. Other than that this was a great choice.Paired this with a light up purge mask and was best costume on block.

Pros
  • Fantastic for group costumes
Cons
  • The robe might not be comfortable for all-day wear

Good Quality good for me

My husband wore this for the Renaissance fair! Overall the material was thicker and great quality. I would recommend ironing or steaming before wearing because it is wrinkly when taking it out of the package. We even left it hanging in the closet for a week before we left and the wrinkles hadn’t fallen out. Other than that, no problems! Would buy again.

Pros
  • Looks incredibly cool and stylish
Cons
  • The robe might not be as long-lasting as expected

Nice quality for a costume

It's not something a real monk would wear but for Halloween/cosplay purposes it should last many years. 5'8" the medium fits perfect lengthwise. Might be a tight fit if your on the heavier side.

Pros
  • Encourages creativity and imagination
Cons
  • The robe might restrict movement when walking

Surprisingly well made.

Great costume for my son at the Ren Faire. It was thick material and fit him great. But be aware my son is 6’1 and 230lbs. The hem came down past his shoelaces, so just know if you are shorter you’ll probably need to hem it. Overall very happy with it!

Pros
  • B0865T2T32
Cons
  • The robe might be too short for certain individuals

DON'T GET IT WET on my review.

Thanks the care directions, do dump it. don't iron it, don't set it wet, keep out of heat.can't wait to use this and see what happens in the humid Florida climate

Pros
  • Extremely well-made and crafted
Cons
  • The robe might not be as durable as expected

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…

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

Lightweight with plenty of room

Plenty of room in this garment for extra clothes underneath. It's thin material, but it doesn't breathe much. The burgundy is a nice color, but even after washing and ironing it was a bit difficult to get rid of the creases. Works fine as a costume, but doesn't have the weighted feel you might be expecting.

Pros
  • This product is great for invitations
Cons
  • The hood might be too large and obstruct vision

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect costume for Halloween. Quality product.

I am 5' 10" and purchased the medium size which was just the right length for the robe. The quality of the material for the robe is very good. I will be able to use this for years to come for Halloween or other costume parties. I created my own wooden crosses to go with the rob as the one that come with the robe was smaller than what I wanted for my costume.

Pros
  • Perfect as a gift for friends and family who are into medieval or renaissance themes
Cons
  • The belt might not stay tied

Not bad for the price

Not too shabby for the price. Material is a bit thin. I’m 5’10” and 210 pounds. Got a large - wished I had went Xtra large. It fits OK, just not as baggy as I’d like. I can’t "hide” my hands when holding them together as the sleeves aren’t long enough. Length also shows off the bottom of my pants. It looks the part and the rope is good. Honestly it’s hard to complain for less than $30 USD. Lots of creases and the hood doesn’t keep that "point” at the top. Trying to come up with a solution.

Pros
  • Adds depth and character to your wardrobe
Cons
  • The robe might not be true to size

Won’t fit well for a small-medium woman

Get the largest boys size if you are a small-medium sized woman in need of a monk costume. I swam in this one it was so big. The boys costume fits waaaay better.

Pros
  • Fantastic costume for cosplay and renaissance fairs
Cons
  • The fabric might not feel soft to the touch

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Top Notch for the money

Very cool looking, and light weight. Got this for the Renfest in our state. This looks to be easy to wear all day walking around on the grounds.

Pros
  • Wears well under your other clothes
Cons
  • The robe might not be suitable for different height levels

Great Costume for Halloween

Ordered it for a Halloween party and received it on time from seller. Material is ok quality (much better than the cheap ones you find at the seasonal Halloween stores). I went with an XL which runs a bit long but it also is not very wide so when it came to picking what to fix I decided I can reduce the length but I can't make it wider, right? I am 6'3 210lbs; so do the math. Overall happy with the purchase and wife likes it (goes well with he gypsy costume).

Pros
  • Great investment for anyone into medieval and renaissance themes
Cons
  • The robe might be too restrictive for activities

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty good for the price

Sleeves are a little long, but I think it's just supposed to be that way. The biggest issue I have is with the hem (Bottom) is a bit too small around. I makes it difficult to walk in. Lack of pockets, or slits in the side to reach your short's pockets, is annoying as well.Other than that, quality is good and it's comfortable enough. Seemed to do fine in the rain as well.

Pros
  • Great for reenacting history
Cons
  • The robe might not have an adjustable waistband

It’s not that bad. for my opinion

Product isn’t bad for the price.Material- is exactly what my window curtains are made of.Necklace/cross- is waaaay cheaper then I thought.Rope- is actually not really a "rope” but I’d assume after trying on, it definitely is more comfortable then what a real rope would be.Outfit itself- I can’t walk at full "step length” kinda tight fit at bottom.All in all. For the price it’s a pretty good deal for non lighted areas. < if you care than the outfit looks cheap.

Pros
  • Makes a great photo or video prop
Cons
  • Might not be suitable for different occasions

I ordered the size I did (XL) based on my own measurements compared with the sizing chart. For reference, I am 6'1", 220lbs, broad-shouldered, and my height is fairly evenly distributed between my upper and lower body. The robe comes down to my feet and sits perhaps an inch if that off the ground. I can walk comfortably in it, but definitely could not run or take overly long strides. Also my feet occasionally catch the hem of the robe when bringing them forward, so I choose to shuffle my feet…

Pros
  • Brings a spiritual feel to the wearer
Cons
  • The robe might get stuck on door handles or other items

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Highly recommended.

Look great! Fit great! No weird folds in the fabric I need to work out. Kids love them. Small fit my 13 year old. Medium fit my 15 year old, who is 5' 8" tall. More than worth the price. They are perfect for halloween.

Pros
  • Made out of silk like costume material, breathes easy don’t expect durable longevity.
Cons
  • The sleeves are too long and might get in the way
