SO IT'S A COSTUME . . .

I can guess quite accurately that with any photograph or video of a sasquatch shared at least one person will state : "It's a costume." [I am not including the famous blobsquatch or shadowsquatch photos, obviously]. 

So, all right then. It's a costume. Prove it. 

Yep. Not liking that, are you. Proof always on the proving it is a sasquatch. Well, maybe the proof should also be on us. If we're going to call someone out for having a friend wear a suit, then we should be able to identify the suit they are wearing.

I spent a couple of days looking over the internet. And here are the top contenders for the costume parade. These are available to order over the internet [providing supplies don't run out, as the various sites caution us] with shipping offered most times at two or three days; some caution it might not arrive before Christmas. Prices ranged from $49.99 to $469.99.

1) This one is labeled "Movie Quality" from Horror Dome. $469.99. The claim is that this costume was used in a hoax that fooled the major news networks into reporting that a dead sasquatch had been found. 

It has arm and height extenders that make the wearer over 7 ft. tall. A full body costume it is said to fit people ranging in height from 5'9" to 7' and will make you 1 foot taller. The entire costume consists of the fur suit, a mask, hands and feet, and a muscle suit.

2) The second suit is listed through Amazon and is billed as an "Adult Bigfoot Costume - ST".  This is a 100% polyester faux fur jumpsuit with ties at the back of the neck to hold it closed. It features a vinyl chest piece and has padding to go around the upper legs for a more muscular look. There is a full-head vinyl mask with attached hair and beard. They warn that the mask has small eye openings which gives the wearer limited vision.

3) This is a "Men's Bigfoot Costume" from California Costume, also available via Amazon and from Target. The price ranges from $63.67 to $149.99. One size fits most. Brown in color. This is also a jumpsuit with ties at the back of the neck. The gloves have vinyl fingers and fur palms and cuffs. There are fur shoe covers that you insert your shoes into with elastic to hold them into place. The faux fur is 84% polyester and 10% acrylic. 6'3" high; 4.33" wide; 44"-46".

This one also comes in a plus size for $93.79. Additional information listed with this entry states the suit is dry clean only and is a faux fur bodysuit with a character mask with hair; hands with faux fur; big feet with faux fur; color dark brown.

And because there are those white bigfoot being filmed, let's add the yeti suits.

10) "Yeti" suit from California Costumes for $78.22. It comes in one size in white. 100% polyester with faux fur (84% polyester; 16% acrylic). They recommend hand wash. It is listed at 6.5" high.

This is what's out there for the "average joe" to buy if he wants to have some fun or plan a hoax. Some of the suits come and go, depending on sales. I was unable to find any advertised "Hollywood movie suits" for sale. I would imagine that those being made for the industry range quite a bit higher in price, are not as readily available, and would be quite easy to trace who ordered suits made.

In my opinion, of course.
