This boa served its purpose. We brought some cheap roman helmets for our church play for Resurrection Sunday with out the red feathers . We wanted the helmets with the red feathers however due to budget and the bulk that we needed we decided not to follow through. But we got this boa and cut it to size then hot glued it to the helmet . It did the trick . Not only did it save our Ministry money but it looks way better than the other one in my opinion :-) . Its long , fluffy and it came with in a week . Highly recommend this boa .
