My husband had me order this costume for a party we were going to this year. I was very wary when ordering as it didn't look like much in the pics. However, when it arrived it was great! I simply unfolded it, it is foam sort of material, and laid it out a couple days before halloween. I also ordered a sombrero and mustache for him to wear as well. Let me say, he was the hit of the party! Everyone thought it was so funny!!
