This handmade mascot costume was originally designed for a basketball team, then morphed into a mascot for a local restaurant.

Unfortunately the basketball team never paid for the mascot and I then used him for a restaurant that closed Christmas eve.

This mascot needs a happy home!!!

All aspects of this costume were hand designed and made, and the fur took 8 hours to dye purple and 10 bottles of Rit indigo dye.

We spent days going to several Hobby Lobby stores to find all the right fur and foam to give this thing definition.

Inside the head is a large bike helmet with straps for easy on and off.

There is also a fan installed that can be powered by a cell phone charger battery (not included) and uses a usb cord.

There are also air vents in the top of the head for cooling on hot days.

The tape measure is there to show you sizes.

Sleeves can be rolled up for shorter arms...or even cut if you'd prefer .

The shorts attached to the pants are a size 40, but we had a 14 year old wear this and just used a pair of suspenders to hold them up. That is why the bottom of the legs are a bit dirty...from a short person wearing the costume. You can also roll up the legs or cut them to size.

The shoes have yellow laces but they are changeable. Any 45 inch laces work.

This mascot wears any size XXL or larger shirt, so you can decorate him to fit your needs. When he was working for the restaurant he just wore an apron! At Christmas he wore an elf sweater:)

The large eyes are also removeable if you want to change them.

There are 100 hours put into making this costume and the accessories.

Parts included:

Body

Pants with shorts

Two shoes

Two gloves

Head

Hat. (If you have a logo and hot glue gun, just glue over the vista grill logo). We made the hat too.

Thank you.
