Comes with wig!

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

Great costume. I was a hit at this sci-fi party because it was recognized by those. Others wouldn't know what it is, so it is a "limited" costume to wear unless you go to a sci-fi or retro party. Otherwise, I'd put on some of the other costumes. Eventually, this costume may not hold out against the test of time unless they make a movie, which I hear is supposed to happen.

Fits pretty well, although the wig is a little itchy and hot so you have to take it off for a awhile every now and then.

Was a big hit for the people who remembered the show.

I'm a big guy and great costume for Halloween in a 2XL size isn't always the easiest thing to find. This one is great! It fits with plenty of room, the wig is hilarious, and everybody my age remembers it from their childhood. I couldn't be more thrilled!

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

I absolutely loved this product. It looked straight out of the show, although the fabric was a little thin (had I been outside I would have been freezing).
I was surprisingly a mega-hit at the party I went to (I'm 22, all my brother-in-law's friends are in their mid 30s) so everyone knew who I was except for the few 20 somethings at the party. I boast to be the only person to cause spontaneous singing at the party, and I think that this is a unique, good looking costume to stand out.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

The tie on the cape was uncomfortable around my neck - it should have been a velcro connection like my wife's Wonder Woman cape to be much more comfortable. The size was also larger than expected - always buy the size smaller in this product than what you are.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

Loved it. Nobody else has it and it is a classic. Lots of crotch room. A big cup took care of that and created more talk.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

We dress up every year for our Halloween Hootenany! This is going to be a fun costume!

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

Great obscure costume.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

Everything was as promised.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

I usually wear an xl in shirts. I read the other reviews and they are right. I ordered a medium and it fits.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

Costume looks great and is definitely quality for the price. I usually wear a large & occasionally extra-large, yet for this costume I had to get the medium and considered the small. LOOK CAREFULLY AT MEASUREMENTS!

That said, the medium fits great and looks fantastic. Only complaint is the fabric belt that you have to tie in a knot in the back to attach. And you have to come up with your own socks/shoes for the outfit.

Still quite satisfied! Would order again!

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

Everyone loved the costume and it was a huge hit.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

Other people commented about the fit factor, but let me say it again- this costume is insanely oversized. I ordered a size small which, on my 5' 9" 150 pound frame hangs like PJs. Superheros wear tailored costumes, not Hugh Heffner's silk pajamas! I'll end up using the wig, cape, belt and the logo from this costume, but I ended up buying a spandex bodysuit to be the bulk of the costume. I'd recommend buying at least a size smaller than you normally wear- in my case, at least, it might have helped.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

Playing Ralph Hinkley for a day was one of the best days of my life. I wish the suit came with an instruction manuel though." I mean I could kill the guy that designed this suit. Why couldn't it have... narrow lapels and a cutaway jacket? Why'd it have to be long johns and a cape?" The only thing is, I haven't learned to fly and landing is not as planned every time.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

This costume is AWESOME ! I was very nervous ordering online, but the costume exceeded all my expectations. I giggled the whole time I was putting it on. Ordering from 80stees.com was hassle free and I plan on doing more business here..

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

Wore the costume to a yearly 80's party my wife and I always attend. Everyone loved it! It was comfortable the entire party and I was impressed with the quality.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

Great product,it was an 80s party and I was a big hit!

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

I used the costume to attend an 80's theme party. Out of almost 50 guests I was the only one with the costume.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

My boyfriend is a huge fan of the show and I knew he would love it!

The "Chest Symbol" is very small.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

Very happy with my purchase fitted well comfortable and a standout costume amongst all the spidermen supermen etc

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

Costume is great. Almost as good as the real thing.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

I'm from Australia so this was a bit of a gamble for me to by this. I ordered the costume online and they said it would arrive to my house just over a week later. And it did, just like they said it would, so for anyone who's overseas, i recommend 80's Tees.

The costume itself is a good fit. I'm 193cm tall (6ft 3") so i was unsure if it would fit but according to the size chart, i took a medium. The gamble was worth it. It's a very good fit. If anything, the shirt is a little big, but not too big. The only changes i plan to make is by using velcro on the belt so i don't have to tie it up all the time, and i'll be adding some clips to the neck of the shirt & cape so i don't have to tie them up as well. Aside from those things, i'm VERY happy with my purchase. I plan to bye more items from 80's Tees in the future...

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

I like the suit however the weird stitching on the crotch has me perplexed. It's kind of flat which doesn't make sense and scrunches up to look like I have a male 'front bottom'. Not pretty.
Also, although I bought medium it's kind of baggy in areas and should be a bit tighter...would prefer if it was made from lycra.

Overall, I would recommend the suit to fans as it's fun to wear and looks pretty realistic.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

Overall, this is a fantastic outfit! The perfect Halloween costume! Like others were saying, anyone under 30 would have no idea who this was, including my wife. My 6 year old loves to watch the show with me though! He wanted to be this for halloween, but I told him they didn't make kids sizes. LOL! Only bad thing is the cheap stitching that falls apart pretty easy.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

This was the only website we found this costume. It arrived and my fiance immediatly put it on.. It was exactly as advertised and we were very happy with the costume. [...] We had a challenge finding shoes but that did not really matter... it was great that it came with everything else ( even the wig was adjustable!) THX

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

this was a totally awesome halloween costume, twelve thumbs up!

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

This was a great costume for those who "got it". Some of the younger people I was hanging out with had no idea what it was, which, in a way made it even cooler. The costume was comfortable, and a great replica of the Ralph Hinckley original. Enjoy!

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

Great costume, even better with the theme song.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

A wonderful costume! Tons of fun to wear and appreciated by everyone that recognizes it. Watch the sizing! I ordered a Small and the sleeves needed adjusting, but other than that, a nearly perfect costume.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

i wore this costume to a birthday party and then Halloween two days later

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

I tossed this costume in a drawer after it arrived. Frankly, I'm a big guy and the medium was like wearing a tent. If you buy this, do it TWO sizes too small. It was a waste of money because it was so large and ill-fitting. Imagine bigfoot's pajamas, with room. Terrible. I'd never order anything from the company again.

Great costume from teh 80's !!

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

I loved the shirt and thought it was very authentic. Thanks

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

Everyone loved it.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

Man this outfit is awesome! It is so awesome that I might wear it every year. The costume is easy to put on, not real thin, the cape is long, it is just awesome! I had a really unique outfit and only 2 people recognized it and loved it.

As mentioned before, it would be nice if the cape snapped on rather than tying around your neck. With the cape weight on your back, it can pull against your neck and that gets annoying.

I loved the show as a kid from 81-83. I still love it and this is the coolest outfit ever.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

I've been wanting be the "Greatest American Hero" FORVER!!!

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

I was a huge hit as the greatest american hero! Everyone loved it. People were asking me left and right if I had found the instruction book yet. I will continue to wear this costume for years to come.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

Big hit at an 80's costume party....had everyone singing "Believe it or not"

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

The costume was great. I wore it to work for Halloween. No one under 30 seemed to know who I was, but that just confirmed my 'retro-coolness'. It was comfortable and brought a big smile to anyone who remembered the show.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

Went to a 80's theme party and I had the best costume there.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

most people wanted to be batman, joker, or iron man. me.. i wanted to be the greatest american hero. i got all the compliments. the only thing i didn't like was that it got me itchy from time to time. other than that, i reccommeend this costume. its baaaad!

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

I really enjoyed this product and being a child of the 80's it was a perfect costume for me. It did run a little big, based on my measurments I was recommended an XL and was swimming in it(better big than small though). Also it was not in stock until a few days before Halloween(Oct. 26th I believe) so I had to keep an eye on it. Overall good experience and great costume.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

So much fun to wear for Halloween. Most people won't get it, but those that do will be very impressed.
The symbol on the belt was a little crooked, and overall the belt could be slightly better designed, but overall - great costume.

You need to get all red sneakers to really make it work.

The wig is of a higher quality than expected.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

I loved the costume and so did others that the parties I attended.
The only complaint was that the pant's pattern was entirely wrong. There is a diamond shape sewn into the crotch area and it made the pants look like something MC Hammer would purchase. I cut it out and the pants fit perfectly!!!!
I also took in the sides of the shirt to get a more fitted, super hero look as well.

The overall look is great and people loved it!

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

I live in a neighborhood that takes Halloween very seriously: over 500 people came to my door trick-or-treating and wearing a costume maximizes the fun. One guy approached me and said "I love everything about your costume! Where did you get it?" I tipped him off. Other people identified the costume's origin, too - it really made my night. I'll probably wear it next year, too.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

Perfect for karaoke when they've got the theme song! Easy to wear, good length (80stees.com's measurement page was spot on, thanks so much for that), and fit over my street clothes with some mild effort.

My complaints were two in number:

The wig is a *little* silly, or just not silly enough. Longer curls or shorter, tighter curls.

Also, this outfit needs a sock or slipper to properly outfit this. I spent a lot of money and time looking for the right foot accessory. Even a thick sock with a black rubber sole, adding $10 to the price, would have been a time and money saver.

Both those comments aside, this costume was worth the purchase and definitely got me noticed this Halloween. Outstanding!

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

The costume is great, and very ridiculous looking, which is the whole point, (even Ralph himself, though it looked goofy.) i was nervous about the wig looking too cheesey, but it actually looks pretty realistic. And the cape is shaped circular just like on the show.

The only downside, to having this, is that only people familiar with the show will recognise and enjoy the costume. So you'll probably have a hard time entering Costume Contests.

Also the belt, is kinda weird, it is fabric for which you have to tie it behind your back, but judging by the pictures i thought it would be foam with velcro ends, so i was kind of disapointed with that.

Other than that, the costume is well made and screen accurate, and very fun to wear.

I used this product for a halloween party at my church the theme was superheros and villians

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

I tyically where a "Medium". I went with the Small and it fit fine.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

It took me for ever to find this costume and I'm very glad with [...] the product.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

This is a great costume.I loved the tv show,and this costume brings me back to those days--when tv was actually good--.The costume runs a little big.Im 5'7" about 160 athletic,and I ordered a small.So keep in mind when ordering. enjoy

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

The costume was perfect except the stitching was poorly done with weak thread. The cuffs came unraveled within an hour.

OH, and an instruction book would have helped because I kept flying into things. My insurance says I'm not covered for injuries incurred while saving people.

Comments about The Greatest American Hero Costume:

I have an old verson of this suit and I have worn it to a few halloween parties.. I like to wear it because it's fun.. But there are some things that I would change with the cape.. I wuld have loved to have one that snaps.. When you tie it around your neck, it just doesn't look right... I would love to see it longer... i love wearing long capes and I feel that the one with the costume is a tad too short... I would like to see one longer a cape seems to look better longer especially when it's windy...Otherwise a real nice tribute to a great show....
