California Costumes Men's Roman Gladiator Adult

Got this Costume for my Hubby; for Halloween Party 2024. Based on all the reviews got a Smaller Size, which would be a SMALL. Normally he would be a MEDIUM chest size 40. The costume was still a little bit big on him, But all I have to do is tie on him as tight a possible on the back. Some of the pieces I will be sewing them on so that they stay in place (but anyone can easily use a safety pin, if you cant sew). The Tunic is big but, it has to be that way so that there's room to move around. The Seam at the Neckline (which is WAY big) is very visible but if you fold it in when ironing it it will look good. Length is good. Chest piece is made of Foam & Plastic Looks realistic Considering how its made. The Arm pieces and Forearms I will be sewing them so that they fit snug on him & will add a little velcro to the arm band (Again, that's easily fixed with just using a few safety pins to stay in place) For the Shin Guards I will be adding Velcro so that the will fit tighter and the flap won't look like is about to fall off. I got the Spartan hat: Brand: Cosmic Chameleon Cosmic Chameleon Medieval Armour King Leonidas Greek Spartan Roman Helmet, Men's Spartan Warrior Headwear Costume Accessories and this Spartan Shield & Sword: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08MQ5H4BF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Visit the California Costumes Store California Costumes Gladiator Combat Shield and Sword https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003JH8T72/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I HIGHLY recommend anyone looking for a Roman Type Costume to get his one. Looks Realistic.

great costume, worn for a few years and still holding up

Beautiful costume and got tons of compliments for my husband. Velcro quality is lacking, comes with zero accessories. The shoulder pad placement is odd and shifts a lot. Overall it’s a nice costume and looks fantastic in photos. I’d still recommend.

Needed a cheap Roman guard costume for the children's Christmas play. Somehow I got suckered into playing the Roman Centurion... Wanted to buy another costume that had better reviews and sizing choices, but delivery estimate was after Christmas... so bought this "Plus" sized as a second choice. It arrived in about 4 days. Looked cheap and embarrassing out of the package. Put it on with the help of my daughter (who is to blame for this whole thing anyway) and Holy Cow! This looks fantastic on me! I look like a big bulky muscular gladiator ready to enter the Colossevm! This is freaking awesome! Drawbacks are a plenty though. The velcro is weak, so some attachments need to be safety-pinned to keep them on. And since it is a "Plus" size thing, you'll need to pin it in a couple spots in the back to get it to fit tightly. Wear any black sandals. Comes with the shin guard thingies, gauntlets, upper arm bands and the main costume of white tunic, fake leather dress thingy and red cape. You don't get the plastic sword and shield, but I didn't need that. Ordered a goofy helmet too, but what came in the mail was completely useless, so I'll just be going with my bald head exposed. I am a 6'1" 250-260lb bodybuilder so pretty easy to fill this costume, but it'll fit a wide range of body types and sizes with enough safety pins scattered around. If you are a smaller frame, you'll want to go with the other model that has a medium and small option. Just need my wife to get a sexy Cleopatra outfit...

Overall great for the price. I'm 6'1" tall and weigh 185 lbs; the small fits easily. I used some black safety pins on the shoulder piece and shin guards to keep everything in place. It ties midway up your back, which is adequate, but I wish it had another tie at the back of the neck in the shoulder area; it would feel a lot more secure. That said, it seems to all stay in place reasonably well. I used some inexpensive black flip flops I had for shoes. It matched pretty well.

As described.

So this costume is okay for it's pricing. I wasn't expecting actual leather armor. What I didn't expect is that the armor is only the front. There is not a back. It comes with two fabric sashes attached to the side that you can tied together in the back, making it like an apron. It came with everything and does not include the sword and shield, and sandals. You will have to buy those separately as they only come with polyester (it feels more like soft foam) leg guards. The tunic was beige. I'm not sure if they send out different color tunics but it came beige to me. It was very thin and it's very likely that you will have to wear shorts and/or a shirt to prevent a breeze to your parts down there. If you are smaller than what the size chart indicates, then it will be loose on you and maybe look a little big on you. The hanging skirt straps material feels a little flimsy because it's not as thick as the rest of the body armor. The picture makes the belts seem like they can be adjusted for a looser or tighter fit, they can't. They're made of a molded rubber and the buckles appear more gold than yellow. The shoulder guard is attached on and since the package did not come with instructions, it takes a while trying to understand it is best put on. Over all, it's an okay costume, not bad, not amazing. Just okay. I'd use it for Halloween or a simple dress up party but not a hardcore cosplay costume. If you want a cosplay, I'd say spend about $50+ more bucks and then you might get something that could make you pass as a legitimate gladiator. Other than that, this costume should be used mostly for Halloween.

It's a costume and it has that typical costume material. If you keep that in mind, I think this was a great purchase! I got a lot of compliments when I wore it for Halloween. The size of the torso section was a bit big for me, so consider sizing down. If you have bigger arms, you may have to forgo the armbands. They were pretty tight. It's pretty comfortable, all things considered. But definitely buy velcro pads, because the velcro it comes with is NOT going to hold up. I'm happy with the price though. I've work it for 2 Halloweens, so it has at least that much durability!

Although a little fiddly to get on the first time, once sorted this is actually a pretty good costume. I'm 170cm tall (short !) with a 42 inch chest 32inch waist and the medium fits great and would cope with someone taller and maybe up to 44 chest and 38 waist. The underdress bit is knee length and quite thin material. The velour effect sort of rubberized chest plate is comfortable and looks effective. You would have to spend quite a lot more to get anything more genuine looking.

They costume looks amazing and has good detail. My only complaint is that the velco does not stay on so we had to pin the costume part on, unfortunately.

La mejor decisión, lo compré en M mido 1.70

Fit well, comfortable and decent quality.

Super article !!! Conforme à la photo (« mais incluant pas les chaussures, l’epee Et le bouclier). D’ailleurs très surpris par les finitions et la qualité des matières car des amis ont investi la même dans un costume similaire acheté sur Amazon et rien à voir (cf) la photo en PJ. Ce costume est mieux fini car il intègre les protège tibia, c’est un vrai plastron avec mousse, le bandeau pour la tête, des accessoires pour les bras. J’ai fais des ajustements au niveau des accroches tibia car pas assez velcroc.
