"I bought this outfit for a nautical themed striptease for my wife. It looks really authentic and classy. It could easily be worn to a costume party (well, without the removable "Huge G Vessel" nametag, that is) The jacket is a light fit, which keeps you cool. The tie is made to come off easily, which also means it doesn't stay snug to your neck like a normal tie. The top of the hat could use some air holes to keep your head cool. But overall, a very nice costume"
