I bought this Obi Wan costume to improve upon a self-styled one I threw together in 2017. I liked the fact that they were including all of the necessary items (excepting footwear and light sabre) to outfit oneself pretty convincingly as a prequels-era Obi Wan. I am 50 so I was going for the Ep IV look rather than Ep III.The fabric in the robe is a little thin but seeing how it is a top layer with dark pants intended beneath, it really isn't an issue. The length on the robe was great and truth be told, I had to take it up a couple of inches so I wouldn't trip over it. The sleeves are full length as well. The hood is full and sits just above the brow though due to the light fabric, it will tend to catch the wind pretty easily.I didn't wear the pants but they are made of medium weight cotton and are decent quality. Similarly, I did not wear the brown under shirt or the white top shirt but they are made of the same fabric and quality. These would definitely work if you are going for the Ep III look. (Incidentally, I substituted a brown t-shirt base layer and my judo top because it is very heavy cotton with a texture similar to what you would see in the movie costumes.)The shoulder and waist sashes are great. They are made from heavier cotton which is doubled up and cleanly sewn. My only issue with these was that they are not fixed to any part of the costume so they tend to shift with movement. The only thing keeping them in place is the tightness of the belt which also is not fixed to the fabric. I worked this out by using safety pins on each shoulder and several at the waist (through all layers) before putting on the belt. Affixing Velcro patches to these areas would be a good upgrade.The belt is made of vinyl that fastens in the back with Velcro. It has a nice metal costume buckle and a small pouch with a magnetic closure. The pouch was not big enough for my cell phone but a set of car keys fit nicely. I found the belt to be a bit short after I had put on all of the layers of clothing and while I was able to fasten it, the tension caused the waist sash to roll and I feared it might come apart when I sat down. Taking advantage of the existing Velcro fasteners, I fashioned some belt loops through which I was able to feed a longer leather belt that would be the actual structure holding the layers of the costume together with the costume belt floating at the waist.Again, if you are going for the Ewan McGregor - Obi Wan Kenobi look and are not a stickler for movie accuracy in your cosplay / Halloween exploits, this costume is great especially at this price. And as with my experience, it is also an inexpensive way from which to base an Ep IV Obi Wan (or for that matter any other Jedi) costume.  Read Less
