For a costume, this jacket and vest set offers a cool interpretation of Jason Todd’s outfit. The white and black colors are as expected, but the dark red hue is striking and matches well with the other two colors. The faux leather material feels soft, smooth, and quite nice. The stitching is well done throughout, and everything is perfectly balanced (so that one side is not lower than the other or anything like that). The white portions on the jacket (shoulders and elbows) offers some light padding so that they are slightly puffier than the otherwise smooth and flat jacket. The inner lining of the jacket is smooth and feels very nice. It feels almost like wearing an actual jacket, just lighter. The zippers are good enough and the pockets are very functional. The hoods inner lining and outer material are consistent with the rest of the jacket, which makes it look amazing. The drawstrings are just okay, but they are good enough for a costume.The inner vest is interesting because half of the bat insignia stitched while the other half uses velcro. This was done so that you can unzip the vest down the middle and open the two sides. The alternative would have been to stitch the bat logo onto the vest and then open it down the middle with zipper, but I do like the design decision to keep the bat logo in one piece above the zipper. Overall, everything was comfortable to wear and the size matched what I usually order (so you shouldn’t need to order one size larger).In the product pictures, there appears to be two versions shown. The first four pictures show one version, while the fifth picture shows a different version. The jacket and vest I received matched the fifth picture. The main differences was that the jacket material wasn’t as shiny, there is no leather belt/strap for the collar or cuffs, there are black drawstrings for the hood, the inner lining of the hood is black (not red), the vest is not v-shaped and has a turtleneck-like collar, and the vest opens down the middle via a zipper.Overall, this is a great jacket and vest set for its design and aesthetics. For a costume, its materials and quality are great and the price is reasonable.
