THE Santa suit for the true Spirit of the Holiday.
By tron3
A Christian expression says, "Jesus is the reason for the season" and nothing expresses that sentiment better than Rubie's Crimson color Santa suit with faux fur trim. Unlike the common red or newer burgandy suits, the subtle purple hints at the royalty of the Christ Child's birth. A suit such as this compells Santa to remind people of the TRUE meaning of Christmas.I looked at a number of suits online and almost went with a professional suit combo costing between $600 to $700. The Crimson color really sold me on this one. The outside of the suit is plush and soft as can be. The coat easily zips up and snaps at the ends of the fur trim. Add some extra stitching to secure the snaps in place as they seem a bit loose. It is otherwise near mall Santa quality.Lack of a lining inside the suit makes it rough against bare skin. Since the suit is very warm when you are fully dressed, find a thin cotton leotard, or something with long sleeves to wear underneath. The suit is colorfast Lux-Seal® and the label says "Dry clean only". I would also ask the dry cleaner to go light on the chemicals as not to discolor the suit. They may be able to add a comfortable lining for you.When it arrives, pull out your vaccuum and gently suction the whole suit inside and out to reduce the shedding. No lint brushes as they pull out more fur. Rubie's has this suit with matted fur which is cleaner, but it just isn't the same.The spats (fake boot tops) are of great quality but work best for shoe sizes 11 or smaller. It was a stretch to get them to cover my size 12 shoes. There is no elastic to secure the tips. The spats help you suit up quickly but can ruin the whole look. There is nothing like a real pair of Santa boots. Amazon has a great pair for under $45. Spend the extra money and you won't regret it. Keep in mind the "professional Santa boots" are not exact sizes. Use padded insoles for extra comfort.The pleather belt is of fair quality with a nice golden buckle, though better exist. The brass grommets ensure the holes will not tear. There are no belt loops on the suit so tighten the belt enough to stay up on its own. There are no pockets of any kind.Older gentlemen with gray hair and generous belly proportions can save some money on the extras. But don't get cheap now. Expect to pay +/- $300 to fully outfit the suit. You may need to buy from various vendors but it is worth it. This is a great quality built suit which should last for decades with proper care and treatment.Buy:* Santa Glasses* White Parade gloves with snaps or extra long. (I bought one of each.)* Padded belly* Professional boots.* False eyebrows or brow whitener* A quality hair-like wig and beard set. Get one which can be combed and hand washable. Use unscented hair spray to keep the hairs in place. Scented spray can make breathing difficult.Helpful Santa bag tip:I'll let you in on a secret. I bought a golden curtain sash to modify a "professional" Santa toy bag. Shiny bag material best compliments the sash. Real Santas do not use tacky bags declaring "Happy Holidays" or "Merry Christmas". Use a solid color bag with optional white trim.Pull out one rope end from the tassel and unravel. It should be over 6' long. Tie the gold rope to the old rope and remove any pom-pom like device. Pull the new rope through while pulling out the old. Use household glue to hold the rope back inside the tassel.Only carry the full bag by the rope and not the tassel as the rope will pull out. Nor are tassels designed to carry heavy weights. Viola'! A distinctive bag worthy of Kris Kringle himself. HO HO HO!Addendum 12/27/08 Sat:Today I played Santa for our Cousins dinner party at a restaurant. Management played "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" as I made my entrance. Mind you, making the proper entrance is half the show aside from having a great suit.EVERYONE loved the suit. So much so that most of them missed the fact I had authentic Santa boots. But don't pass on the boots for that reason. It really completes the suit, as well as a great beard and wig.As expected, kids took pictures with Santa. Amazingly, then the adults wanted pictures with Santa, too! They simply never had this kind of Santa experience. Again, you have to play the part but the beauty of the Crimson suit with fur attracts people. Well worth the money for the experience.

Good Quality/Fast Shipping/ Poor CustomerService
By cajo
The Item was shipped very quickly and was of good quality, however the sizing was wrong. I usually wear an XL, but this item was so large that the sleeves were 5 inches too long. MAKE SURE YOU WANT THIS ITEM BEFORE PURCHASE AS IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET A REFUND. The item was purchased through Amazon, but sold by 7th Avenue, and the account was serviced by One Net Enterprises. No where on the website does it say that they will not accept returns, but when I tried to contact 7th Avenue, I was told by One Net Enterprises that they would only accept exchanges and WOULD NOT accept returns. The bottom line, is I had to file a complaint with the A-Z Guarantee department of Amazon.com who assisted me in facilitating a return and obtaining a full refund.

Great suit but......
By Stephen E. Ott
This is a great looking suit and will serve my purposes exactly. That being said, the hat is a little too small. I cannot get it on over my wig. However, for the price, I will overlook that fact.
