School Mascot Costume

Mascot Sizes - Answer

Should a school order more than one mascot size?

Key points

  • Same band: one size, adjusted per performer, is standard.
  • Two bands: two sizes of the same design, details matched.
  • Heavy schedules: consider a second identical costume for availability, not sizing.
  • Measure the roster before deciding.

The decision is arithmetic, not preference: measure the roster, map each performer to the design's size chart, and count the bands. One band - order one size. Two bands - order two, or narrow the performing roster. The failure mode schools regret is sizing to one star performer and discovering the costume fits no one else.

How the two-size order works

  1. Measure every regular performer's height.
  2. Map heights to the design's size chart and identify the band(s).
  3. If two bands: request both sizes of the same design in one order.
  4. Ask the supplier to match design details across the pair so the character is indistinguishable.
  5. Ask whether the combined order qualifies for volume pricing.

Practical considerations

  • Measure the full roster, including likely substitutes, before ordering.
  • Request matched details when ordering two sizes of one design.
  • Label the sizes internally so performers grab the right one.
  • Store both together with the accessories so neither becomes 'lost inventory'.
