California Costumes Men's Adult-Hercules Costume

I purchased this for my teenaged sons. They are 5'10" or so and 180-ish. The Adult medium size fit them just fine. The fake leather part of the costume (brown) was, of course, all wrinkled when it arrived squished in the package. I was able to smooth it out by ironing on a low setting from the backside with a damp cloth. I think if you used a high heat the "fabric" would melt. So, be very careful! The white undergarment is very thin. You will need to wear shorts under it. The red cape is awesome. And, all the accessories that come with the costume are adjustable - the arm bands, the headband, the leg things...great stuff! The wrist covers are a little big but not overly so. The little kids at VBS this summer were very impressed with the "Roman soldiers" that came to see them.

This costume looked great on my muscular-build, 5'11" husband. He is about 175 lbs and we got a medium. He complained about the bicep straps not feeling secure, but after I told him how hot he looked in them, he kept them on 😅

I wear an XL and bought the XL. I felt it was a little large for me. I'm 6 foot tall and about 190. Total Dad Bod, I have skinny arms though, so the cuffs were oversized, and the arm bands just made my arms look smaller. The leg wraps stayed pretty well and didn't try to work around my leg too much as I had feared they would. I know that sounds like a lot of negative, but that is about it. After that I would say that this was a very successful Halloween costume. I looked pretty good in it, and looked like I spent more than I actually did on it. At least when comparing to what my friends spent on their costumes, this was a great buy and well worth the money. Make sure you get some brown sandals though, it does look pretty odd if you don't have the footwear to match. If you can find some like the model has you'll be set.

Very good costume for the price, my husband looked great as Perceus with my Medusa costume.

Husband wore this for Halloween. He says 4.5 stars would be more accurate - the arm bands and head band were pretty cheesy. The rest of the costume looked great. He has a bit of a belly, and it fit well and didn't look weird like some costumes can. Expect to wear something under it unless you enjoy a breeze. It really is like a huge white shirt with a brown apron and attached cape. He also bought the "Heavy Duty Plastic ROMAN LEG GUARDS gladiator costume," "300 The Movie, Spartan Shield, 17" Diameter," and "Rubies Long Roman Costume Sword." They were all pretty good, too. FYI, this costume doesn't include a sword and those aren't sandals, just leg wraps, so prepare to find those separately. He wore some Army green KEENS and they looked like part of the costume. (P.S. Please click YES below if this helps you in your decision!)

My ended up not wearing the costume because the texture was more like plastic than fabric. It is very cheaply made. It's fine for the price, and can look good from a distance. However, the feel and the look from up close was disappointing. All pieces were present and in new condition, which was good. The colors and size were accurate to the product's description.

got this for my husband, he loved it. it didnt look cheesy at all. the leg straps allowed for many sizes. we ended up cutting off some extra (each strip around the leg) so if you have leg muscles of any size (seriously like a track guy to a football guy) they leg straps have a big range of sizes. loved all of the details all over the entire piece. my husband ended up wearing shorts under it, i would recommend any guy to follow that example. great quality, loved it for halloween. keeping it for the future.

So, this costume comes with the brown "armor" with the attached red cape, a white tunic for underneath which is kind of like a satin/silky sleep shirt for girls, two bicep circlets, two forearm bands, a headband, and 2 shin covers. For reference: I am 5'9 and 170 lbs with an average-athletic build. I am not a muscle-bound gym rat, nor am I overweight. I have a solid frame with decent muscle mass. i bought the Medium and the fit of the tunic and armor pieces is just right. Issues: The image makes it look like the front of the brown armor is a solid piece. It isn't. It's more like a set of ribbons that hang down so when you move they swing and the white tunic underneath shows through. Also, the armor is only for the front. The only thing covering your back end is the tunic and the cape. The tunic ties in the back with a strip of fabric which seems like it will work well enough. The bicep circlets are velcro fastened, so you have to awkwardly set them over your biceps. They then either slip down because you flexed when you attached them or they constrict your arm when you do end up flexing. There is no elastic to allow these to flex over your biceps as you move, it seems like i will not be able to use these as they will not stay in place. The bands for the forearms ARE elastic and can be pulled to stay in place, but for my arms the taper is off and when the front part (towards the hand) is snug and in place, the back part (towards the elbow) is loose (oh well, it'll do). The headband looks ok, but i never intended to wear it. The leg pieces are also velcro fastened in 4 bands around the calf. i tried them on and it looks like they will stay in place. I have an average calf size but the bands are cut funny so that some are left with too much excess hanging off when fastened tightly, I will probably just use clear tape to keep them pinned down. All in all, it'll work, but wasn't exactly what i was hoping for, but i wasn't going to spend $150 on something more elaborate . . .

Trotz all der Kommentare, dass das Kostüm so groß ausfallen würde, passte es mir gut (und ich bin mit 75kg um 180cm Größe recht durchschnittlich groß). Zwar hat es auch „gerade so“ gut gepasst, aber ich hatte keine Probleme. Ich war damit auf einer Helloween Tanzdisko und konnte damit sogar problemlos tanzen; nur die Armreife sind ab und zu runtergerutscht, aber das ist ja nicht schlimm. Die Qualität des Kostüms ist sehr gut - ich kann mich nicht beschweren. Für 50€ ist es außerdem super umfangreich. Es hieß in den Kritiken, dass die Teile teilweise Liegfalten von der Verpackung hatten, die nicht rausgingen, damit ich keine Probleme, allerdings mag es vllt Glück sein, dass bei mir alles gut lag. Ich hatte eigentlich nach einem Perseus Kostüm gesucht, weil meine Freundin Medusa war, aber etwaiges gab es nicht (wirklich), da kam mir das hier gerade recht, war also gut. Alles in allem bin ich super zufrieden und kann es nur empfehlen.

This is perfect and hilarious for Halloween. It’s exactly how it looks. Sizing is accurate and shipping is fast. It is Made cheaply and is meant for a dress up party for one night. I paid a bit more for it because I did not have time to make my hubby’s costume while making my own and our dogs’ for our Ancient Greek family of Gods. Take it out of the package well ahead (days or weeks) of your party to let the vinyl apron relax flat.

great

The product is very poor in quality.. It is damaged when we open it.

Für den Preis ein perfektes Kostüm. Fällt ein bisschen zu groß aus, macht aber optisch einen guten Eindruck. Einziger Kritikpunkt. Falten im Brustschutz wegen des Lieferns sind nur sehr schwer herauszubügeln. Man braucht für die optimale Passung trainierte Oberarme und Waden.
