my 4 yo got this for halloween. I read the reviews  beforehand, and it's true that at first the black whatever it is rubs off of the jacket portion. but that lasts for only one wearing. we've had dozens of wearings since then. Yes, it's just a costume, so not the best quality per se. However, my son could care less about that, he looks like a pirate! And this happens about 4 days/ week.
