I only wore this once for about 30 minutes last Christmas. It has been stored since then and is very clean with no stains. The Santa hat has ears on both sides, and the ears stand up when you press the air pump. The pumps are independent on the left and right, so you can raise each ear individually. I bought this item at Don Quijote for about 2000 yen. It may look small in the photos, but it's a size that adults can wear.
