This is one of the softest costumes. My kids obsessed with mario and lyigi is his favorite. He was wearing and sleeping in his costume so much it was shredded after a month. So I snagged this 1 so the hats never lost, and 2 it looks well made.Well, it's very well made. I've washed this weekly for two months. No fade in color has shown. My child wears this probably 5 days a week around the house and will occasionally sleep in it. It's soft enough that he has no issues wearing it without clothing under it, just underwear. He's got eczema and sensitive skin so that's saying something.We are going to get the mario onw when we can bwvause these are easy foe.gim to put on himself, the hood is great for never losing the characters hat and they're soft enough to sleep in.
