The details are way better than the photo the belts don’t buckle though they have clips on them but the belt are the best part because they could be used differentlyAs an MJ tribute performer, I typically buy budget attires and let aspiring performers on a budget know if they're worth their time or not. I have to say I was surprised with this item as a bundle. It looks identical to its display images. The arm cast is not done enough justice to me, it's far superior in person than in the images of this page.The jacket is very comfortable, however I do have 2 criticisms: the first being the shoulder padding needs to be A LOT thicker, as this item is part of MJ's 'military' ensemble, and the light padding in this item does not give off the look properly at all. The second are the velcro patches within the lining being so small and very spaced out. With how much you'll be maneuvering as a performer in this, these patches need to be bigger so they can have a better grip on the material it's keeping together. With how small they are, you're gonna need to be very conservative with how much you put this on and take it back off.The belts are actually metal, so they are a bit hefty. The manufacturer elected not to make a buckling mechanism for these, however, and decided to give the buyers binder clippers that are the exact same color so as to camouflage them, I assume. While this is sort of convenient, I personally think they'd be better off placing a light magnetic metal in the belts so that they can stick to themselves and be far more secure, or at the very least try to make the dual belts into a 1 piece where the shoulder strap attaches to the waist strap manually.If they could make the shoulder padding thicker, and the belts more akin to performance, this is easily a 5 star item for the bundle. These criticisms I have, though minor admittedly, are all that keep it from being so. Definitely worth investing in for MJ tribute performers on a budget.
