I bought it last year as a part of my halloween costume. After being stored for 365 days it was like brand new. Didn't even had to wash it! I lended it to a coworker and he used with an orc's mask and looked great. Then next day one of my friends wore it with a jason's mask and that worked too. It's durable, looks great, works with a lot of different costumes and it's not expensive at all. I highly recommend it, you'll use it for years.
