RubiesRubie's Costume Grand Heritage Robin Classic TV Batman Circa 1966 Costume

I am going to use this to go as Robin for halloween, with my 10 years old who will be batman. I love the idea of the reversal. Tiny Batman, Tall Robin. The Batman will be Brave and Bold, masquerading as TV original, think Blues and greys not Blacks. Anyhoo, this costume, Holy crap, this is CosPlay quality not simply goofy Halloween quality. I am 6 foot and 210 lbs, this (the standard) fit well, a bit snug across the chest, but still okay. But this is quality. It comes with a very nice shirt, and cape. There are shoe covers, tights (!), trunks/shorts and a belt, the belt alone is high quality metal/pleather. Even the mask is high quality. Seriously, I could wear this to ComicCon for a day. I was really surprised and very happy. cannot recomend this enough to folks. If this is for a party, you will be happy with this purchase. You will look incredibly goofy, this is the 60s incarnation,. but you will look goofy with style and panache!

My husband was stoked when I surprised him with this for Halloween, he’s been a fan of the Adam west Batman movies since he was 6!Was well made other than I had to secure the clasps for the cape better as they were falling off. Everything else was perfect. The belt was waayyyyyy nicer than I though would come with it, and the tights were fairly thick, just be aware they are a tan color & in the picture my husband is wearing white leggings underneath the tights since it was a bit chilly out.Also should mention the standard size fit him really well, he’s about 5’9” and 195lbs, muscular build

I NEEDED to be Robin for Halloween, and as a woman, my choices are sexy Robin or super sexy Robin. I'm so happy I found this costume! I'm 5'2 & 165lbs and I ordered the Standard size, which I guess is equivalent to a Men's Large? The costume was shipped with a really nice garment bag & all the pieces were in great condition. Received a LOT of complements on this costume, no really, like, a LOT. I never get comments on my costumes and people were crossing the street to check it out.The only reason I dinged the review by a star was because the clasps on the cape were pretty lousy, the stitching on the clasps was loose and came off completely on one side. I fixed this by stapling it shut LOL.For any other women looking to be regular vs. sexy Robin, here are my notes:>Cape is LONG. At 5'2 it was touching my heels>Gloves are pretty darned big (Mens Large, which is totally appropriate for the purchase!) so I would recommend buying gloves separately>The tights are pretty generic, you'll be much happier digging your own tights or leggings out of your drawer>More on the cape... The neck/shoulder area is very broad - probably something to do with being made for a man - and I had to rig a system to keep it from choking me. This involved using a Y-shaped sheet holder like suspenders. No, really, it worked great. The top points of the Y were clipped to the inside of the collar and my bra strap and the base of the Y clipped to the back of my leggings. This sucker didn't move and looked great!.

Even though there were quite a few negative comments, I took a chance and loved the costume. For the price, everything is high quality and my costume looked just like the picture. The bottoms are large, but that is okay because I don't necessarily want my package on display. The tights are enough. I have a 45 inch chest so the standard fits snug but I can still breath...kind of how you would expect a superhero costume to fit. It comes in a nice garment bag with hangar, and I can't emphasize enough how nice the vest looks. For 300 you could get one exactly like Burt Ward's, but for around 100 it looks good enough to let a dad be a pretty close Robin for one evening while his 9 year old calls the shots as Batman.

As with the other Grand Heritage costumes, expect to spend a little time tailoring it to fit. I purchased the Batman costume and my wife got the Robin one (5'8" 140 lbs, very athletic build). Most things fit fine, but there was blousing in the shorts so we ordered a pair of green spandex shorts to replace theirs.We also had to order a pair of green satin gloves, the ones that come with this were basically dish gloves.But the rest of the costume was good, we cut the belt to length and tailored in the back of the shirt to fit appropriately (easy to do with safety pins for marking and then stitching up). The cape was too big around the neck, but that could be fixed too.Overall, it's good for Halloween but if you were expecting a Con quality outfit move on. You should also expect to spend at least an hour or so to get the fit right and probably replacing a couple pieces.But we're looking forward to Halloween with the alterations now.Capezio Women's Low Rise Boy Cut Short, Dark Green, LargeSACASUSA (TM) 9" Short Wrist Formal Bridal Satin Gloves in Forest Green

The costume is okay, but I cant help but feel annoying at the shorts, gloves, and belts. First the worst part: the shorts. They are hideous, unshapely, and awkward. They’re basically super cheap running shorts. Super dissatisfied with the shorts, everything else would be okay if these shorts were actual shorts. Anyways, the gloves were gigantic and super thick, good luck doing anything with those on, will be omitting them from the costume but if I ever need to scrub the toilet I’m sure they will be perfect for the job. And finally, the belt. Its huge, and heavy (for a belt) doesn’t stay up and the velcro should be all the way around the belt not just at the tips. Tape will probably have to save the day there. Oh yea I almost forgot, the mask sucks too, will not be wearing that. It looks awkward, slides down my face and it’s hard to see out of it. Overall the costume is a fine base for a robin costume, but don’t expect to be able to put it on as is and not look awful. Seriously questionable choices made here.
