FAQs
Does this costume include shoes?
No, the costume does not include footwear. You will need to provide your own shoes, preferably a dark, sturdy boot style.
What material is the costume made of?

How should I clean the costume?
Hand wash in cool water is recommended to maintain the integrity of the embroidery and the shape of the garment.
Can I wear warm clothes under this outfit?
Yes, the jacket is designed with a button fastening that allows for layering of thin thermal clothing underneath, making it suitable for cooler weather.
Is the waist size adjustable?
The trousers feature an elasticated waist to accommodate a range of waist sizes comfortably.
What is included in the set?
The set includes a long-sleeved jacket, trousers, a hat, a harness belt, and two ankle covers.
Troubleshooting
Costume is wrinkled from packaging
Hang the jacket and trousers on a sturdy hanger in a humid room (like a bathroom after a shower) or use a garment steamer on a low setting.
Harness belt fits loosely
Use a safety pin on the interior of the belt or jacket to secure the harness in a fixed position if it shifts during movement.
Elastic waist feels too tight
If the elastic is slightly restrictive, ensure the trousers are pulled up to the natural waistline to allow the fabric to drape properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the costume, ensure all buttons are secured before your event. Because it is made of polyester, it is recommended to hang the outfit to allow any packing wrinkles to naturally release before wear. For cleaning, follow the manufacturer's care label, but generally, hand washing in cool water with mild detergent is the safest method to preserve the embroidered detailing and overall shape. For a truly authentic look, pair this set with brown leather boots and ensure the harness belt is worn snugly over the jacket to maintain the intended military profile.
