The costume is really great for the price. Had expected much worse. I guess not, it can be washed well and the beard is now not the bomb, but you can well pull the coat over normal clothes and for more in-depth single-use (Carnival, themed holidays, etc.) it was good enough. If you just want to use it to play Santa Claus or Santa Claus for a few minutes, you can certainly use much more common, of course, as long as you not too rough handle it.
