I remember as a kid making a Wolverine costume. This is way before Hugh Jackman too so we used s yellow sweatshirt with like blue felt or some blue cloth I think. It's been a long time so I don't quite recall all the details . But I remember it was made out of a sweatshirt. And I trick or treated in it fine. It was comfortable. These days I don't even get my sweatshirts out of storage until January, late January. Maybe get to wear them for 3 weeks.
