The product is pretty much exactly as pictured. It fits like a large or an extra large. I wouldnt go too much bigger. My husband is 63 tall and weighs 185 pounds and it worked perfectly over his long sleeve shirt and chain mail that we used for a Renaissance Festival costume. You can buy the chain mail on Amazon also. My only thing I didn't care for is that the cross on the front is made of a thinner fabric and you can see the lighter parts where the sewn fabric is folded under. But then again I guess it makes it look a little more realistic than if it was just printed. There are no belt loops for the belt either so you have to get it tied just right or it will slip down. We got a bunch of compliments on his hospitaller costume and were asked to join a reenactment group. So for a costume quality piece that will look great at the festival, this is a good choice. We also purchased the matching cape from the same brand.
