What is Kigurumi?

More than just Japanese animal pajamas... kind of

"Kigurumi" comes from a combination of two Japanese words: kiru ("to wear") and nuigurumi ("stuffed toy"). Traditionally, it referred specifically to the performers wearing the costume, but the word has since grown to include the costumes themselves. In Japan, Kigurumi costumes are worn as a way to break the conventions of traditional dress… or just as comfy pajamas!

In addition to pajamas, Kigurumi make great everyday clothes. They are quick to put on and you can wear them over your dull, normal clothes. In seconds, your life will go from tedious to old school stupendous.

The relaxed fit of Kigurumi costumes makes them a solid choice for lounging around the house on a lazy Sunday, taking care of business during a hectic day at the office or stealing the show at your next costume party. 

Fabric:

Our Kigurumi are made out of high quality soft polyester fleece. The fabric will keep you warm and cozy in the winter, but just unbutton a few buttons and you’re good to go for indoor wear at parties.

The wrist and ankle cuffs on all of our Kigurumi are elasticized.

All Kigurumi come with pockets.Sizes:

Kigurumi are one-size-fits-all. Simple, right? They are made to be loose fitting and will accommodate adults and children who are at least five feet tall.

Our Kigurumis will fit most people

Kigurumi are one-size-fits-all. Simple, right? They are made to be loose fitting and will accommodate adults and children who are at least five feet tall. However, if you're taller than six feet the wrist and ankle cuffs might not make it all the way to your wrists and ankles.

The bagginess our Kigurumis means there's a lot of room in the chest and waist. If you're concerned with fitting into one of our Kigurumis, the limiting factor is usually your shoulder width.
