Rasta Imposta Giraffe Costume

I've had this giraffe costume for over 2 years now and it is has lasted perfectly and with great memories!After much debate with myself I decided that my spirit animal was undoubtedly a giraffe given my 6'5' gangly frame, my curious and adventure-like attitude, and my ability to fine green (wink wink). The first experience with my Rasta Imposta Giraffe Costume was a ski trip with the boys in Breckenridge. Many shots of Jack later and a few special gummies I was in full fledged giraffe mode shredding the mountain. Now since Giraffes are natural born skiers I had no choice but to bust the sticks. I was the mountain celeb, smokin cigs, drinking out of a flask while taking pictures with families and hos a like. After finding the other giraffe on the mountain I found his outfit to not be a Rasta Imposta version and he truly was the fake. A brief scuffle ended in my ruling and a wonderful weekend.The giraffe kept modestly quiet until a spring bar crawl in Chicago that was animal-themed. We started at the Lincoln Park Zoo to pay our respects and gently touch the tips of our flasks and ended with sweaty grinding animals covered in a stench of puke, shame, smoke, and buffalo sauce. KILLED IT. The true test came at TomorrowWorld that following September and EDC Orlando that October. Sure I was often slightly hot but the thin material allowed for breathability. I also liked how I could stuff the giraffe head with newspaper for a head bobbing and limber form. Can't find your friends? Meet at the giraffe, there's a party and we're creating a Giraffic Jam all night baby.

So when Amazon asked me how the product fit, I almost selected too large. That's because it was so chock full of awesomeness that I couldn't be tamed. I was a wild animal. King of the jungle... Well dinner for the queens of the jungle anyways. Seriously, women couldn't keep their hands off me. It was very distracting. Honestly, the worst part of being a giraffe was when I saw my identical twin roll up to the party. Shifty eyed giraffe he was, we needed to fight. If you've never seen a giraffe fight, things got ugly quick. But i digress. Being a giraffe for a night made me realize the other 364 days of my year were lackluster. So now I'm a giraffe 24/7 and my life has never been better. Oh and if you're thinking about buying this costume, it was really well made and fit comfortably. The head got a little top heavy when I loaded it up with newspaper and such but it was well worth all the comments I got. I really hope that turns you off from buying it because I'd hate to come across you in public while we're both wearing the costume and have to fight you. My neck still hurts from the last time.

Ordered this for my husband who is 6’ 7” and it actually fit him enough :) it is a funny costume and the print is fun. We did end up returning it because the fabric is very cheap for the price and it wasn’t very good quality. Also the head does not stand up like it shows in the pictures. It is super thin and flimsy. We filled the head with grocery sacks to try to give it some stability but it still would fall to the side. So it is a cute costume but definitely not worth the price.

This costume was THE HIT wherever we went for Halloween. People wanted pictures, kids loved it, adults laughed, totally fun. I'm 5'7 and 140 and my hubby is 6'2 and 260 and WE BOTH were able to wear this costume ( we bought 2). It fit me bigger and him a little snug, which was okay, he was able to pull off the whole "I'm April the Giraffe thing" to win his costume contest at work. Perfect as-isTIPS for Added Fun: Stuff the head with the packing air bubbles - it's the lightest way to go. Also if you safety pin the costume to fit snugly around yours ears, that solves the neck problem and you can move without the head flopping, it keeps it balanced well. I stuffed the tail with cotton, there's an opening and the end of the tail. I added pipe cleaners inside the ears to make them stand out more and put large googly eyes over the costume eyes using adhesive velcro.

My mother was so excited to have it fit. But then missing one hand of the costume. I can’t return it cuz it was mailed to the Philippines already.

I cannot tell you how great this costume is. For halloween I purchased this with a couple of mates, we were entered into a bar's costume competition, won second place. We lost to a girl who dressed as Elliot from ET, but in fairness, she put a lot of effort in to hers and it was great, I paid like $30 and put very little effort in to it, so second place for a herd of giraffes isn't bad, we got some shots out of it. My mate Andy said it was worthwhile...not bad for a herd of giraffes.Funny side note: Fool your mates into thinking a giraffe is really eating leaves from a tree, this will slay and girls will talk to you.Serious side note: You may want something super light like pillow fluff or even some plastic bags to keep the head stuffed and plump.Last note: The pants are super comfy and you can use them after the fact to lounge round the house.

Put the costume on and head would not stay put - was not cut out so face and vision was clear! Could not wear !
