We are not big into Halloween, but DS9 IS big into wearing costumes. When costumes would come out to our local stores, we would go buy him one. However, things have changed. He is MUCH bigger (only about 2 inches shorter than me), and there aren’t many adult-sized costumes in the store.
Enter BuyCostumes.com! DS9 really likes Star Wars, so I headed over to their Star Wars costumes first. After looking for a short time, I found exactly what DS9 has always asked for… A Jedi robe… He had asked for one before, but we could not find one that would fit him.
As soon as the Jedi robe got here, he ripped it out of its packaging and quickly put it on. See how excited he looks, as his sleeves defy gravity with his movements? Well, I guess it is a little difficult to see how excited his face looks; since, he is fighting with the force and doesn’t need to see. He did say that he could see through the fabric, but I’m not too sure about that…
The only costumes that we have ever bought, online or in a store, have been scratchy when worn; however, this robe is not. It is nothing like the costumes I find in my local “big box” store. This robe is a heavy weight and seems to be made to last more than just one night out-and-about. The material is not scratchy and has not bothered DS9’s skin at all. I was very impressed with the quality of this product! {Note: The lightsaber is not included with the robe.}
