Rubies mens Star Wars Jawa Costume

I original bought this for a Halloween Party I deejayed. Was a bit larger than usual but I'm a smaller fit so it made sense. With some small alterations it worked out great! I would make a couple hole punches on both sides of the mask and put some string in to tie it behind your head. This way the mask will stay on and not fall off! I also added some velcrow to the top portion of the mask and wore a beanie hat so that it would stay on more secure. If you're around 5' 7" the whole costume should fit you just fine. The only thing I would get to go with this outfit are some gloves but it'll probably be cold out anyway so just wear mittens. Read more

This costume was bought for the Inaugural Starwars Half Marathon. The costume fit well and I was thoroughly impressed with the overall quality. Fitting The #1 question will be how well did it fit? I ordered the "Standard size". I am a 6'0" tall male that weighs ~185. My waist size is 34 and my neck size is 32". The costume was the perfect length where it came down to about 1/2" above the ground. This was perfect for running as it did not get in my front or back step. I was able to run all 13 miles in it without any part of the robe getting in my way. Quality: Robe: The robe is a thin material almost like a dri-fit type material thickness. Keep in mind this is a $50 costume you can't expect too much. For those who go to Party City, it is literally one of the costumes you see hanging on the wall in the plastic bags. The robe is thin so I strongly suggest wearing something under it to keep warm. The robe also has four pieces of velcro on the front to attach the bandoleers. The Velcro with bandoleer attached seems like it would be flimsy but it is not. The setup held together and they bandoleers did not fall off all 13 miles that we ran. Bandoleer: It is a foam strip that velcros to the robe. If you want something more authentic, you should buy a legitimate leather bandoleer. From the fron though, it looks just as the picture shows. The back, there is no evidence that you are wearing a bandoleer. Mask: The mask is basically a hood that sits on your head with a black mesh where the face is. The eyes are enclosed in a piece of plastic that sits somewhat nicely on your face. The only thing that keeps the mask in place however is the friction of your hair with the hood. Running in this, I wore a running hat to add more friction. This worked okay but it still bounced around. I suggest using a beanie or something similar with safety pins to keep it in place. The eyes light up and as far as I can tell, there's no easy way to change the battery for the lights. The front has a switch which should have a sticker on it to tell you how to turn it on or off. Of the four costumes we ordered, two were blatantly returns and the sticker was not on the mask nor would the lights turn on so be sure to make sure you get a good one. As mentioned before this was used to run a race and the fact that everything held up during the race and after I hand washed it is very impressive. I would definitely buy this again if I needed to. I was most impressed with the fact that the bandoleers stayed on the costume for the whole race. Read more

For the price, I really can't complain. The mask's yellow LEDs looked good, the robe fit me great. I'm 6'1" tall and 200lbs. The bottom of the robe was about 1"-1.5" above my black boots which was perfect. I didn't want to be tripping over it or having it drag on the ground. The good: Fit was great for the standard size. Hood LEDs look/worked great. The price. The not so good: The mask's black insert (face hider) is very easy to see through. Understandably so, otherwise you won't see where you're going. But I'm thinking about adding more material outside of the eye area to help hide the lower face, neck, mouth, forehead, etc. Basically everything but eyes. The plastic former for the hood works, but has a nasty reflection/flare when using camera flashes. This could have been done better. I'm thinking about putting some kind of matte black spray paint over the plastic to prevent this or remove it all together and replace with a wire frame. The bandolier belts look good on the surface, but as others have noted they don't have straps that go around the back. They simply velcro on the costume. Not a complaint, just pointing out. Legitimate bandoliers can be purchased and added on later... or the existing ones can be modified to have full straps. For the price these things look good. The hood is front/top heavy where the plastic former and LEDs are. This was a problem because simply walking around in it made the hood want to fall down in the front. I ended up safety pinning the back of the hood down onto the robe. Easy fix, but with all the velcro on the costume already, why didn't they just put some extra velcro on the back of the robe for the hood to stick to? Much easier than using a safety pin. Otherwise I loved this costume and got a lot of positive comments at the Halloween party I attended. I'll definitely be keeping it for next year and plan on making the above improvements. Just keep in mind this is a very cheap costume compared to others out there. For the price I think it's worth it. Read more

This thing was a joke. It looks good in the picture but in reality is a whole other story. I am 5' 6" at around 140lbs and I swam in this thing. The bandoliers were even more of a joke, 2 pieces of foam material that attached with velcro tabs. Because the costume is way too big in the first place the bandoliers don't ride right and look absolutely stupid. The hood was maybe the only redeeming feature although the eyes on mine were more yellow than red. If I have anything positive to say it is that shipping speed was faster than expected for standard freight. That also meant I got disappointed sooner by this piece of junk. Glad I didn't pay extra for expedited shipping. Read more
