Gandalf Lord of the Rings Costume for Men

Good instinct to question that. The robe is a pullover stretch knit, so the 60-inch chest on the XL is the garment's relaxed measurement, not a target body size. With a 48-inch chest, the Large at 56 inches would likely drape the way a robe like this is meant to, while still giving you room to move. Compare your measurements to the size chart to be sure.

Pockets aren't part of this robe's construction. The robe features a front V-placket with decorative cord lacing and a pleated front panel, and the cloak fastens with a metal hook and eye at the neck, but neither piece includes pockets.

Yes, those measurements are correct. The XL cloak measures 62 inches long, which is just over 5 feet, so at 6'1" it will likely fall above the ankle rather than reaching the floor. Comparing your body measurements to our full size chart is the surest way to decide whether the XL is the right call for you.

The robe is a pullover stretch knit with spandex in the fabric blend, so it has natural give rather than a fixed waist measurement. For the best fit, compare your chest measurement to the robe chest in our size chart, since that's the most reliable guide here, ranging from 46" at X-Small up to 60" at X-Large.

The staff is sold separately and isn't included with this costume. What does come with it is the robe, cloak, belt, hat, and leaf brooch, so you'll want to add the staff as its own order to complete the look.

With a 40" chest, the Small (48" robe chest) gives you plenty of room, and the robe is a pullover stretch knit so it has some give as well. The Large (56" chest) would be roomier if you prefer a more dramatic, flowing silhouette, which suits Gandalf's look nicely. Comparing your measurements to our size chart is the surest way to land on the right fit.

Since the robe is a stretch knit pullover, it has quite a bit of give, but at a 30" chest your son would likely find the X-Small a comfortable fit, with a robe chest measurement of 46". Comparing his measurements to our size chart is the surest way to confirm the right size, and since he's still growing at 5'9", the Small at 48" could give him a little more room to move.

Thanks for your question! Yes, this sizing is accurate, this is just a generously sized costume since it's meant to be worn a bit more loosely than some of our other costume options.

The robe measurements are what would be considered the tunic, the cloak is the outer piece that is worn over the robe. Hopefully, this helps!
