Lot of good stuff
Surprisingly good quality for the money and includes quite a bit. The pauldron is probably the worst item, but the bracets and belt with attachments are pretty great quality! Pants and shirt are thin but decent material.

Loved it for Fae Fest!
Everything was true to size and fit really well. I was able to put everything on and together myself. It's good quality for the price though I will say it's a pretty thick material. But I washed it and it softened a bit. Unfortunately, it poured unexpectedly at the Fae festival so the material didn't breath or dry very quick in that regard. But otherwise I loved it.

Easy and quick costume
The fit was good and the material quality is decent. There is an elastic part on the waist to make it easier to put on, but the rest of the material does not have much stretch. If you plan on moving around a lot, it might be better to get a larger size.It is fully functional and fits right in at a ren faire. However the shoulder pad is weird and doesn’t really fit well. Overall a worth the cost as you get many different pieces for cheaper than if you got each one individually. This is especially useful as a quick costume.

Ren faire
My husband bought this for our ren faire and it was super comfy and light weight and a really good quality fabric for the price. It’s fit perfectly and he looked so handsome

Good set
We got this set for our son who’s 10 and it fits him great (he’s a big kid) for everything that’s included it’s a great deal for the money. And he likes the functionality of the bag. Good quality.

Its a 50/50
Didnt expect to have to build all the string runnings so beware of that. That is my main complaint other complaint is the pants are super long! Like i mean super long so i will have to roll or taper it since i wont be wearing boots; got XXL size cause thats the shirt size i need but im only 5’10” so pants are to long. When we talk about price point it is an amazing price point for sure! Looks good besides the pants being to long, once everything is adjusted it is fully functional to move around in. Quality seems to be good but won't know till a week from now if it can handle a whole day, but for the price id say the quality and comfortability is as good as its going to get. Having to run the strings and the pants being to long is only reasons i wont give it 5stars.

Perfect for a Renaissance Festival
This outfit was perfect for my husband for the Renaissance Festival we attended. It comes with several accessories that compliment the look. This photo does not show him wearing the shin guards that came with the costume.This was great for the price-point.

Middling Quality, But You Get What You Pay For
I purchased this to take camping with me for a weekend at the Ren Faire. I've built up a stockpile of costumes over many years, most of which are very high quality, handmade items, but they are also very hot for a summer camp out, and after 15-25 years of wearing them, I was ready for something new. I was certainly not expecting something that would be the same quality as a hand crafted item that cost 10x as much as this, but I was hoping for something light weight and easy that would last me the weekend. This set more or less delivered on that, but it also wasn't terribly impressive. I took pictures of how all of the pieces fared after a full weekend of full-time use, which I'll attach to this review. Here's a break down each item in the set, from best to worst:Shirt - This was the highest quality item, and I'll reuse in the future. It was light weight but comfortable and made of material that seemed to be regular clothing grade - not cheap Halloween costume grade. I like that it works in short or long sleeve, and it looks period appropriate. No complaints to speak of!Pants - These were also quite comfortable, well made, and look great. I'll definitely use them again. But they arrived with one of the two leg ties missing. Not entirely a deal breaker - I'll need to grab a scrap of green fabric and make a new one (though I didn't have the right fabric on hand before setting out for the weekend and had to make due with a brown shoelace), but it was an annoyance considering I pulled it out of the packaging already missing pieces.Pouch - I wasn't initially a fan of the pouch, because it is basically a large circle with some faux-leather straps and snaps that you pull together, rather than a sewn pouch. I was worried stuff might fall out of it. But once I actually started using it, I realized the design is quite good. It folds in on itself small enough to be very compact when not in use, but it expands to hold quite a lot. It comes with a small brass slider that makes opening and closing easy, and I ended up using it as a pouch for trinkets for trading with other faire goers. This meant I was opening and closing it quite regularly throughout the weekend, and it held up better than any of the other accessories. The snaps also make taking it on and off your belt very easy.Frog - This was a perfectly decent little frog for adding a dagger to your belt. Its faux leather, but looks pretty good. I was wearing a large sword for most of the weekend, so it was a little superfluous, but it did work well for the small dagger I also had with me. It's a straight tube, not tapered, so if your dagger isn't peace tied and threaded into the strings of the frog, you're likely to lose your sheath. But I found it perfectly serviceable for my needs.Pauldron - This held up to wear and tear throughout the weekend, but it was easily the cheapest looking piece of the whole costume. It is very obviously cheap faux leather, and the material doesn't match the bracers, making it look mismatched and dragging the quality of the whole costume down. I'll keep it to lend to anyone in need of a quick costume, but I won't use it again in the future.Belt - The belt looks and feels a little cheap, but the design is good, and it was surprisingly functional. It was holding up a Viking sword and scabbard, dagger and frog, heavy leather pouch, and the light pouch that comes with the kit, plus my phone, cash, and various trinkets, and it never once slipped or sagged, even after all day use. That said, the faux leather did start flaking off in high friction areas, and while it survived the weekend, its certainly not something that will last more that a few outings before breaking completely.Bracers - These were my biggest disappointment. They *looked* very good, but the minute I tried to actually wear them, they started falling apart. The first stud popped off its screw before I even left the house, and by the end of a single day of use, two others had popped off, leaving it visibly broken. On top of this, the cheap faux-leather bled onto the shirt underneath, staining it, and I found that after a few hours of wear, it started chaffing and becoming uncomfortable. By day two I simply bought a real pair of leather bracers to replace them with, as they did not survive the weekend.Overall - If you want to costume up for a Ren Faire or other fantasy event on the cheap, this will get the job done, but you certainly won't blow anyone's socks off. As compared to the other costumes you'll see at a faire, this will be very obviously low cost and low effort. I'd probably recommend it for a photo shoot or maybe a single day of use, but beyond that, it doesn't have much life span or usefulness.
