Star Wars Deluxe Hooded Jedi Robe, Brown, One Size - 3.2 out of 5 stars from 6 customer reviews
This is not the robe you're looking for...
First let me say that I rated two stars based on quality for price. I DON'T think that this robe is worth the $50+ bucks they want you to pay. Then again, I don't think 90% of these costumes sold in stores are worth the money they charge.
I believe they're considering this robe a "deluxe" robe because it's made to resemble woven-cotton. It looks decent when you look at it. It feels like woven cotton, as well. However, it's only the outside of the robe that's made this way. The inside is your basic, cheap, Halloween-costume polyester & nylon blend. It's extremely lightweight -- which isn't bad if you live in FL (like myself) because our Octobers are still around 85F+. What I don't like is that when held up to the light, you can see right through it.
As for the fit, it fit ME perfectly (long and billowy); however, I'm only 5'5" and average weight. My boyfriend, who's 6'0"-6'1" and around a 33-34 waist, put it on and it was ankle-length (sleeve hem was a little above...
Far, Far Away from Deluxe
I purchased this robe for a costume party. It definitely isn't 'deluxe', it is basic at best. It's not thick at all and I'm not even sure what the material is, but I don't like it, it feels like it can tear at any moment. Don't buy this with the intent of keeping it as part of your action-set, it's basically just a throw-away.
you'd better learn to use a needle and thread.
Here goes. I dated a Star wars geek. I bought him the Jedi Robe for his birthday. But beware, there's a jedi robe and a jedi robe DELUXE. ooooh. i checked out the difference between the two. Do you know what the difference is? they say that the deluxe version is thicker. So, yay, i bought him the deluxe.
I have to say, the only way that the deluxe can be thicker than the non-deluxe is if the un-deluxe is made out of nude hoisery. This thing is ridiculous. Also, the craftsmanship (seams, uniformity of length, etc) is shoddy at best. I've already bought shiny brown thread to sew up the inconsistancies (and i bought this April 2008). It proves that you are paying only for the star wars name, which ONLY means a lot to a star wars geek. It's not the heavy material you expect, and you'd better learn to use a needle and thread.
