Sock Monkey Adult Costume, XL B004U7UI2E

Sock Monkey Adult Costume, XL - 4.4 out of 5 stars from 14 customer reviews


Not really an extra large, runs small!
My husband wanted this for Halloween and tried it on in a real store before buying it cheaper on Amazon. He is about 5'9" and around 180/190 lbs, a very average size, definitely not an extra large. Happily, he knew he would need this size having tried it on elsewhere otherwise he would have ordered one much too small. Even still, the inseam was a little tight - the crotch could have been lowered to make for a more comfortable torso fit but it wasn't awful. I feel like if I were to borrow this costume next year, it would also look good on me (female, 5'5", 125 lbs), just a little baggier which is what I'd be going for in this costume.

All that to say, I think these sizes run very small so if you're much taller than 5'9" or have a small gut, I would not think it would fit well.

Decent with some work
First, it looks a lot like the monkey in the KIA commercial. No doubt that's where the idea to do the costume came from. Second, it will be living nightmare material for many... I'll get to that later.

The suit itself is constructed of thin cloth and thankfully (if you want comfort over accuracy) not sock material. The head is a little wonky because its made of flimsy foam. I had to stuff it with cotton to puff out and seal it quickly with some safety pins for it to look more accurate.

Things I liked:

* Has a cool little tattoo on its arm.
* Kids actually seem to like it.
* NIGHTMARE MATERIAL FOR SOME ADULTS

Things I didn't like:

* You can see the wearer's neck under the mask.
* Should have come with gloves and something to put over shoes to complete the illusion.
* Tail should have been longer.

I'd like to see a nicer version of this for adults that is made of higher quality material. For my needs...

The price says it all.
When it comes to having a great costume price does matter. I was hesitant about this costume because of the price but just gave it a shot because it was still Sep. so i had a chance to return it if i was not satisfied. Not as good as the picture, the fabric very cheap and the mask is awful. You can do a home made one much better.
