The thing about a really good costume is that everybody wants a try which is what makes this one so great as it’s easy to get on and off. Join the noble breed and you can be sure to get more laughs than anyone else. Features: Sumo Suit and Hat Battery operated fan Inflates in seconds The Sumo suit is one size fits all (unless you’re already a Sumo wrestler in which case what are you doing?). 100% nylon.
