Common comfort and fit features include elastic waistbands on pants, elasticized side panels on shirts, and neck/back closures using hook-and-loop (Velcro) or buttons. Many costumes also use sewn-on rope belts or twine ties to adjust the fit.
Most costume pieces are 100% polyester. Some hoods use linen or burlap-style fabrics, a few vests are made from 100% jute, and decorative elements often use raffia-style straw.
Typical sets include a shirt or jacket, pants, a hood or cowl, and a hat. Many listings are sold as five-piece sets and may also include a vest, a sewn-on rope belt or tie, and a small accessory.
Descriptions emphasize a quality feel and durability, noting hand-picked fabrics and stating that with proper care the costumes can be worn repeatedly.
Shirts commonly use hook-and-loop fasteners or button closures and are often fully lined. Jackets may have button-front constructions. Hoods and cowls typically include linings and elastic neck bands. Hats often feature rope or band trims and sometimes padded brims; some shirts include sewn-on rope belts or twine ties.
Pants typically have elastic waists, appliquéd patch details, and sometimes attached raffia or straw trim.
