User questions & answers

Question: What exactly come with this custume
Answer: Yes, but they are just shoe covers. They are open on the bottom (no sole), so you wear your own shoes with the boot covers over them.
Question: Hi! my husband is 6’4 and 205 pounds. should i order xl or xxl
Answer: Hi, this only comes in the 2 sizes shown, both to the left and the right of the image. Heres measurements Standard 42-46 42-46" 33-38" 5'8" to 6'1" Big & Tall 50-52 50-52" 42-46" 5'10" to 6'3"
Question: My husband is 5' 5" and 135 will the xL be a good size
Answer: Would be huge on you! I got it for a 5'7 large chest guy. He weighs about 165. It was ok height wise, but very baggy and I had to sew the seams to pull it in some to make it look decent and not baggy. Seems like you should almost look for a kid size one! Good luck
Question: Does it come with boots
Answer: I only bought the suit ... I don't own the company. However, I bought the Large. I'm 5' 9" at 190 with a wide back. The suit fit me well ... it stretches. With the leg length, I had about 1-2 inches over. However, there are shoe covers that help make the suit look uniform. I would think that for you, you should take the XL and if they offer a tall, take that one. It is a comfortable suit, but you might need to have someone help you put it on, if you can't stretch into it.
