Mascot Sizes - Answer
Do mascot costumes come in plus or tall sizes?
Key points
- Height bands cover most adult performers.
- Internal strapping absorbs many frame differences.
- Outside the bands: measurements-based recommendation or custom build.
- Custom mascots can be constructed to exact dimensions.
The mascot shell is more forgiving than clothing: padding and adjustable strapping mean a single size fits a wider spread of bodies than a garment in the same label would. That said, shells have limits - a performer far outside the design's height band will have restricted reach or vision, and no strapping fixes limb length.
Options for non-standard performers
- Measurement review: send height, weight, chest, and waist so the supplier can place the performer in the best available band.
- Nearest-band fit: sometimes the closest standard size works with strapping adjustments - the supplier can tell you.
- Custom construction: a custom mascot is built to the performer's actual dimensions, ideal for a dedicated long-term wearer.
- Two sizes: for rosters spanning bands, order the same design in two sizes and ask for matched details.
Practical considerations
- Send measurements with any inquiry involving a non-average performer.
- Ask specifically whether the design's range covers the performer's height.
- For a dedicated performer (a staff mascot, for example), consider custom sizing.
- Keep a roster of measurements so future orders are one email, not a re-measure.
