I ordered this for my husband for a Halloween party, we both went as Pirates. While the costume is thin, and doesn't provide much in the way of warmth (throw on some under armour or something)...it is AWESOME! Take a little time to re-shape the hat, and be sure to order a sword and pistol, and you are SET! My Husband won the best costume contest with a reward of some $$ and a Best costume sash!  He bragged the rest of the evening and I am sure he will wear it again! Great costume, worth the cost!
