You've got a real holy warrior vibe going on which we dig. Comes with the territory of being a knight of the Crusades, but some guys just don't have that internal essence to really pull it off. You do!Anyway, now that you're in your armor, we've got to train you on how to ride a horse. How to clean a blade. How to cut through a man as if he were a block of cheese. Soft cheese too. Like a nice brie. That's how good you'll be with a sword once we're done with you. Always something new to see.Oh, the treasure, right. Everyone always wants to know about the Templar treasure. Do we have one? Yes, of course. Is it a vast sum of money that could make all of us rich for the rest of our lives? Yup, we got that covered. But no, you can't have any of it. We don't ever touch the treasure. Just keep collecting it. That's kinda what being a Templar is all about...You might be asking yourself, why don't we just buy something nice for everyone? We could all go in on a hot tub or a pool table. Something! But, yeah, the treasure just sits there in that secret vault we built. Where? Oh, it's just down... hang on! Nice try there, bud. But you're a first time knight. You don't get to see the treasure till after your first Crusade. Now let's get going. It's Templar time!
Oh, whey oh, when it is time to slide your feet up the street and strike some fantastic poses on the streets of Cairo or the slave pens of the Huts, everyone knows that you need to be living in perfect style or things could go wrong very quickly. Ask any successful old world gal and they can tell you that the first missed step on the road to success will lead you tumbling down to disaster, whether it is Cleopatra’s hidden serpent, the unexpected burning love of Aphrodite, or Leia’s capture and soon-to-be chained up servitude.

If anyone is going to walk like an Egyptian, they need to do it in the right shoes! These Women’s Egyptian Sandals are the perfect accessory for all manner of guises, whether you’re the Queen of the Nile, an ancient goddess of Olympus, or even if you need to get the right footing to take down a slovenly monster crime boss in a galaxy far away. The synthetic material is anti-slip—very important for when you are dealing with slug-men—and feature adjustable buckles, gorgeous looking braided straps, and an open toe. You’ll be dancing like an Egyptian in these splendid sandals, oh, whey oh!
If you're planning a toga party, historical accuracy may not be on your priority list. So you maybe don't care that historical purists would insist that there was never any such thing as a Greek toga or a women's toga or a child's toga. And this Women's Grecian Dress ISN'T a toga. If you ARE interested in historical accuracy, this costume is actually a fairly accurate representation of what a Greek woman would have worn. The only difference is that an ancient version would have been ankle-length instead of above-the-knee. But the shape, the draping and the geometric trim are realistic. For a toga, party, however, perhaps you only care that it's cute--which it is!
Hey there, warrior! Have you been trying to get yourself inside the Colosseum for a spot of combat? Well, then you'd better not charge into there without a weapon! After all, they're going to throw every kind of mean-faced gladiator and ferocious lions at you, so you'd better come prepared with a solid game plan of kicking butt with a super awesome historical weapon. That's where this Roman Gladius Sword comes in!This toy weapon looks just like the one wielded by various fighters from Ancient Rome. Of course, it's made out of plastic, since we really can't just sell you dangerous weaponry (it's a liability thing). This toy sword does, however, come with a highly realistic look that should be enough to scare any gladiator or lion in the ring. Of course, you could always use it for LARPing too, since we're huge supporters of any activity that involves pretend fighting against giant cyclops monsters. Whatever you decide to use it for, you'll be sure to look like the toughest warrior around!
A True Hero Let others have their superhero costumes this Halloween, you'd prefer to pay your respect to a real historical heavyweight, Harriet Tubman! Tubman wasn't just a fierce abolitionist and suffragette, but she risked her life and safety to help hundreds of others escape to freedom (not to mention, she's the soon-to-be face of the $20 bill!). So, while your pals' costumes may come with capes, light up and make noise, or give them instant, undeniable 6-packs, your costume will imbue you with the actual might of a real-life superhero! Whether you choose to wear our Harriet Tubman Adult Costume for a theater performance, historical reenactment, or simply to capture your love of history this Halloween, we're certain you'll feel fantastic about your choice!

And leave the fancy flying and flashy antics to those others wannabe heroes! Product DetailsThis ensemble is styled in line with the times—simple and sturdy. It's a black, long dress with a basic peplum, front buttons, and long sleeves. The neck scarf adds period-specific flair and lightens the stark appearance, and the head kerchief completes the look. Grab a lantern accessory to feel like a true beacon, or bring along your historical knowledge to share with other party guests. And don't be fooled—the look may be understated, but the effect of seeing Harriet Tubman walk into a party is totally unforgettable!Conduct Yourself WellWearing this costume comes with a bit of responsibility—you should be on your best behavior! Harriet Tubman was the foremost conductor of the Underground Railroad, after all. You owe it to her to keep up a high standard all night in this costume!

#WhatisaHastag?We know. It sounds pretty crazy, but girls in the colonial age didn't have the internet or social media. Kids these days are spoiled with instant information. You can look up anything at any moment and you can show friends your brand new pictures with just the simple touch of a touch-screen. Back then, the humble hashtag symbol looked a lot different and it was used in certain bookkeeping practices as a shorthand mark denoting a number! And they spent most of their time churning butter and doing chores around the farm.It was a tough, technology-free life, which is why we're quite thankful that we live in today's society! But it's always nice to look back at the tough work that the colonial settlers had to endure to give us a little more appreciation for how far we've come!Design & DetailsThis simple Girl's Prairie Dress Costume harkens back to the days of early midwest settlers in America. The costume starts with a one-piece dress that has a blouse-style top and an attached skirt around the waist. The skirt has a blue, floral pattern all over and the top has navy blue accents around the waist, sleeves, and collar. The dress fits with a zipper in back, making it easy to change into the historical look. The dress also has decorative buttons in the front. To complete the outfit, the dress also comes with an antique, gold-colored metal cameo that pins to the neck of the dress. When your child has it on, she'll be whisked bask in time!Shutting Down the Wi-FiTell your child to put that device away, shut down the Wi-Fi, and transport her back to a simpler time! With this Kid's Prairie Girl Costume, your little one will feel like a settler from the 1800s!

Product DetailsBring back the time of quests when you wear your Plus Size Dark Crusader Men's Costume!

Slip on the silver gloves and pull the silver hood over your head to keep yourself comfortable under the weight of your armor. Noblest of All Honor and glory are yours this Halloween! Defend your country and win victory after victory, secure in the knowledge that you will look great the whole time. There's nothing that the fair ladies of Camelot like better than a man in armor, especially if he also has that indefinable air of mystery about him. Ride forth, noble hero!
In a world of mundane needs and the ever-presence of deadlines for all sorts of tasks, we mere mortals constantly struggle to find even a few seconds each day to where we can take a long breath and feel that we do not immediately have to dive back into productivity. It makes little things like comfort and achieving the look that you’re aiming for especially stressful. And, when you’re trying to get your clothing to lay the way it promised it would or your hair to stop doing that thing that it keeps doing, those few seconds aren’t nearly enough. In fact, a few hours might not get us there!It is for this that we pray in thanks for the ancient goddesses who have looked down upon we tragic few and blessed us with a little of their own divine might. Immortality they may all have and an endless amount of time, but their perfect hair remains that way through ultimate power! And, they’ve granted us this rare opportunity to feel how they do all the time with this Golden Goddess Wig. Made of beautiful threads of creation, these long curly blonde locks with perfect straight bangs—already proof that they were divinely created—are sure to remain precisely and immortally in place while you finally get to stride out like the deity you are!
Make way for the bad guy.Sometimes it’s fun to be the bad guy. Try it sometime. For example, when a waiter asks you if you want dessert, say that you don’t, even if you actually do. When you’re going through a door and you see someone walking toward it, hold it open for them no matter how far away they are. Sometimes they actually walk faster! And when someone asks you how you’re doing, say you’re doing fine -- even if you’re actually not! With devious feats like these under your belt you’ll be well on your way to full-time bad guy status in no time!People have enjoyed being bad guys for as long as there have been people. The first recorded act of badness took place in 78,000 BC when a very naughty cavemen painted a bunch of wooly mammoths on his neighbor’s cave wall. His neighbor never managed to get it all off. And did you know that the Great Wall of China was actually built as a prank? It’s true, the Chinese wanted to mess with the Mongolians so they built it while they were sleeping. When the Mongolians woke up they were furious because their favorite villages to pillage were all on the other side of the wall. And the Chinese just laughed! What a bunch of bad dudes!Medieval times were no exception. For every white knight there were at least a couple of black knights, walking in people’s flower beds and unscrewing the salt shaker caps at diners. It was a rough time for everyone. You too can be a black knight and terrorize the countryside, doing things like forgetting your mom’s birthday and not rewinding your rental cassette tapes after watching them. No one will doubt your authenticity with this detailed costume, which rather ironically was made by very good people with an eye for fine detail.
Are you always picking up the weapons of your vanquished foes, only to find yourself tossing them aside the next time a lion challenges you to a Greco-Roman wrestling match? You're not alone. According to a recent survey, one in five men may experience problems keeping track of his sword in the arena. This debilitating problem can result in emotional distress, confusion, and a drastic reduction in the number of his remaining limbs. And it afflicts more people than you might think!But now, there's hope. This detailed armament combo makes use of a revolutionary advance in faux metallurgy that allows a warrior to sheathe his weapon inside his shield! We expect both the gladiator-on-the-go and the hands-on naturalist to make heavy use of the slot deftly concealed behind the lion's head relief at the center of this buckler, which fits the included broadsword. Who says that there's nothing new under the sun?
If you've noticed your child has been spending copious amounts of time in the yard with a pickax, or if they've got a grey wispy beard coming in, and if you ask them how their day went and they always reply, "Get 'way me mine, Missy, I'm on da verge a GOLD, here!" Then we have something to tell you... yep, it's as you already suspected. You're raising an old-timey, 1840s prospector. But it's okay! You're going to get through this because our child prospector costume is going to help the gold rush fever get through their system much faster than it would naturally. Yep, he'll soon learn that there's no gold in the backyard, but he'll sure look like he's ready to hit the mother lode in this exclusive costume.
Making a MarkThink about it. With nothing more than a few bolts of cloth, some thread, and some nimble fingers, Betsy Ross created one of the most iconic symbols in all of American history. It's had a few updates since the very first flag was crafted in 1776, but the basic design remains mostly unchanged since then. After all, why mess with perfection, right? She was one of the first women to leave their mark in America and we think that's pretty cool! It's why we decided to make a costume based on the iconic figure!Our costume designers look at classic paintings of Betsy Ross to draw inspiration for this historical costume for women, and they did a great job of creating a look that captures her sense of ingenuity!Design & DetailsThis Betsy Ross Costume for women will help you carry on the legacy of one of America's most amazing women! It starts with a blue floral dress that has a white skirt on the front portion. The dress has lace on the sleeves to help give it an authentic look. The costume also comes with a white shawl that fits around your shoulders and ties in front. The included choker is blue to match the dress and fits around your neck. Finally, the white hat brings the whole look together by giving you a colonial style that looks like it came straight from the American Revolution!Perfect for July 4th!If you love history, then you might want to recreate the iconic moment when Betsy created the first U.S. flag! Of course, this costume also works great if you plan on celebrating the 4th of July, or as an outfit for the plays and pageants! Just be sure to pair this costume up with a classic American Flag (not included) to finish the look.
Your Meow-jestyIt's no wonder that the Egyptians assumed that cats were connected to a higher power. Cats do what they do and they do it with confidence. It doesn't matter where those cats are hanging out. Give a cat access to the White House executive desk and you'll catch them knocking the presidential pen off the desk. We like to imagine the cats of the Nile getting tangled up in the mummifying gauze and looking up at the dignified priests like, "what".The cat-like goddess Bastet is one that we all could get in touch with. She's a boss. She made sure that the mothers of Egypt were taken care of. She made sure that the rodents of Egypt didn’t eat all the profits of the fertile crescent. Some mythologies even gave her the war-like title of protector of Egypt. We like to think that all cat-lovers have a part of Bastet deep down inside. This Halloween, sharpen those claws and perk up your feline nature!Product Details & DesignThis gorgeous lightweight black and gold costume is Made-By-Us. Our designers researched both Egyptian looks as well as the goddess's look to create this fashionable and fun look. The top is a blend of metallic gold and lightweight sparkly gauze. The skirt has a center panel with hieroglyphics over the twisting lightweight skirt. With the cold shoulder black body suit underneath, this look is a sleek showstopper that would look right at home at the pyramids. The whole ensemble is topped off with a knit mesh cap with gold stripes on the ears. Crowns Not CollarsIt's about time that cats got back some of that Egyptian respect back! No more Youtube videos of cats getting caught in blinds and missing their jumps. Bastet will set it right. Suit up in this gorgeous ensemble and it won't be long until cats are running the kingdom again.
Under the Sea EdictsIt's your first day as Neptune, ruler of the seas. What's on your agenda?

Whatever your royal decrees might be, you'll have the authority to make them so when you're wearing this regal King Neptune wig and beard set.

The shaggy look is inspired by ancient Roman artwork, with face-framing shag and a dignified, solid-looking beard. The beard straps to your face with an elastic band. A hole for the mouth allows you to speak clearly, which is a good thing because sound does strange things under the sea!

A Sherwood ThingRobin Hood and her merry ladies knew a thing or two about glamping. In fact, many folks said that their little nook of Sherwood forest was the coziest corner of Nottingham. While stealing from the rich, Robin often swiped woven tapestries and shaggy blankets to make the secret dens they wove from sticks much warmer in the damp English weather.Every night the Merry Ladies would get together around a fire to feast on wild rabbit stew and swap stories about their noble heists and their charitable pursuits and every once in awhile they'd get Maid Marian to stop by and play her fiddle so they all could dance under the mossy oak trees.

When America's men were off to fight "over there" the nation called on the women to put their hands to use. This gave women a taste of what it was like to have a major part of the workforce. It was a time of pride in the women's strength and smarts. It not only affected people's mindsets but it changed unpredictable things like the fashions. Instead of long, loose hair and complicated updo's woman started tying back their hair with a kerchief. It was only a short time after women were arrested if they wanted to wear trousers and now they were in factories wearing jumpsuits. So, when posters of Rosie the Riveter started popping up around the country it was a pretty revolutionary image, sponsored by the government, no less! It was the inspiration women needed to continue working hard in victory gardens, munitions factories, and salvage programming. The times might have been hard but everyone was coming together, putting aside class, to make sure their country stayed together in a time of violence and hardship. This costume includes a jumpsuit and a bandana. The jumpsuit has a collar with short sleeves and a zipper. The jumpsuit also has pockets, belt loops, and cuffed pants. The patch on the collar has the famous and inspiring tagline "We can do it". Pair this with a pair of sensible boots so you'll be ready for whatever the factories throw at you. Tie the included bandana around your head and you'll be an inspiration to the movement!

Coming at 'chaCleopatra might have been lost to history if she didn't know how to make an entrance. Seriously! She wasn't first in line. She was a woman. She could easily have lost her power. But she wanted to rule and she would stop at nothing to make that happen. When her brother cast her out of Alexandria, the capital of Egypt, she simply waited until Caeser came to visit and talk politics. She then had her servants roll her in a rug that was a "gift" for the ruler of Rome. They unfurled her before the Roman general and let her make the first impression for the history books. With her grace, wit, and wisdom, Cleo convinced the military genius that it would be better if she took over the Egyptian rule instead of her troublesome brother. And that, friends, is history. Product DetailsIt takes a lot of confidence to rule like legendary Cleopatra and no ensemble says confidence quite like this look. In classy black and gold, this costume features a geometric bodysuit with a sheer panel at the front and back, framing the hips. You'll love the combination of long sleeves and dramatic V-neck. A zipper up the back and snap at the crotch makes bathroom breaks and costume changes a breeze. Topped off with a beaded cobra headpiece, you'll look every inch the queen as soon as you slip into this Cleopatra costume.Asp Her No QuestionsWe can only imagine all the secrets that Cleopatra had when she met her untimely end. She knew the secrets of Rome as well as ancient Egypt. But as we're not even sure that the stories we tell about this legendary are true or not, we just have to put ourselves in her place and imagine the secrets she carried. It's your turn to live the legend!
10,000 Leagues Under the SeaBeing the god of the sea, you have never had much interest in the affairs of mortals. There is so much ocean to rule that you are never short on things to do or places to go! From sirens, merfolk, sharks, and krakens, you have your hands full with the creatures of the sea. Not to mention Cyclopes!But still, there are some things that you think the land dwellers do right. For example, making the perfectly crispy and delicious French fry is nigh impossible when you are so deep in the ocean.

But wherefore do not you a mightier wayMake war upon this bloody tyrant, Time?And fortify your self in your decayWith means more blessed than my barren rhyme?- William ShakespeareWe all want to be remembered for something.

Hair with AttitudeDo you know those times when you wake up with a hopeless bad hair day? You take one glance in the mirror and you know there's nothing you can do. You could break out your hair straightener, ramp up your hair mousse, or call on all the bobby pins in your arsenal but that cowlick in the back of your head is still going to stick up straight. In the end, you just have to ride the bad hair day wave or figure out a way to work a hat into your ensemble.

Ever watched any film or television show that features a keen eye into the mystical lands of ancient Egypt? If so, you’ve been plunged into a world of powerful magic that is wrapped up in more mystery than any other mythology. Mummies rise up from ancient entombment either to guard their pyramids or crypts or perhaps arising from a curse that afflicts both them and those who look upon them. The gods watch over the land, demanding attentive worship while conniving amongst themselves at a rate that would have the Olympian pantheon tuning in daily to keep up on the drama. And the pharaohs, too, have their own enigmatic legacies. One never is sure they know the full story of anything that comes of the old sands.But, legends also speak of the Dark Pharaoh… powerful kings that with their inherited divine power did not wish to simply relinquish their forms and spirits to complete the cycle of life and death.

There are a bunch of perks to being the very first of anything, especially the first president. Sure, you don't have a previous president to blame stuff on, but it also means you are totally allowed to make stuff up as you go. Step into the shoes of the guy who literally wrote the book on being the US president with this George Washington Costume, and add some patriotic authority to your day! Every American knows who George Washington is (at least as the "dollar bill guy"), but it's impossible for us to know what he was actually thinking when he became the country's very first president. He managed to make it work, but what kinds of things could he have done during his presidency that would have made the government a lot stranger? Could he have issued an executive order that all disputes in Congress were to be resolved by a potato sack race? Or, that the president got to wear a superhero style cape as part of their official uniform? It sounds weird, but compared to some real parts of the government, not that weird. No need to worry about looking weird, though, because when you're dressed in this presidential outfit, you're the boss (as long as you also get a majority vote from the costumed electoral college). The overcoat, vest, and matching trousers are a fine example of 18th Century style, and be sure to add a powdered wig to complete this Founding Fatherly look. Whether you're wearing it for a historical reenactment or play, or just having some patriotic costumed fun, you'll look truly revolutionary!
THE PROPHECY BEGINSOur office Seer doesn't usually have a ton to say. To be honest, a bunch of us are beginning to wonder why we even keep her around. "Trent of the number counters feasts upon the quarry of the unwary" is hardly a world-shattering insight... though it did help us realize where all our lunches were going. However, we know she's serious when she starts bringing up the All-Father and says that a warrior of legend is about to sail from our docks!So, we're getting everything ready for the new Earl (and maybe even King). That means preparing a whole fleet of ships for all the trips out west and plenty of ingredients for the various feasts that we know we'll be having. (Don't worry. Trent isn't helping out with that part of the preparation!) Anyway, you best get ready for some of the craziest adventure that you can imagine, because you're going to last at least four seasons when you set out with us! DESIGN & DETAILSThe Seer has spoken and our clan designers have raided at least a dozen settlements to gather enough materials for this officially licensed Ragnar Lothbrok Costume. This exclusive look includes everything you need to step into the role of the protagonist of Vikings. Start with an embossed tunic and matching belt that each look like worn leather. (Can't have you looking like this is your first fight, after all!) The pants have an elastic waist for easy wear and the boot covers are laser cut to look like leather plates! Get yourself an axe and shield and you might not even need the aid of the gods.WATCH OUT FOR BLIND DRIVERSOnce you go to fulfill the prophecy as Ragnar, we recommend that you watch out for some of those warnings. Especially in modern days, a blind taxi driver is a dangerous route to take! You don't want this Ragnar Costume lasting longer than you do, after all.
Some kids like to explore.Now we don't mean poking around the backyard. No, we mean climbing trees, collecting bugs and wildlife, documenting foliage, and getting dirty. We're talking exploring in the most in-depth sense of the word. Kids that camp outside, hike through the woods, and track down critters... some kids are just outdoors kids.Which probably means they wouldn't want costumes of doctors and spacemen. No, they'll need something to suit their tastes, something like this Kids Davy Crockett Costume. Davy Crockett is a famous American frontiersman. Known for feats like defending the Alamo, the legends around this folk-hero are far more colorful. From killing a bear when he was three to killing one with only his knife as an adult, we're pretty sure Davy Crockett was like the Chuck Norris of the frontier. Seriously. His stories just keep getting bigger and more crazy. There have been plays and books about it. Go check it out.As such an epic man of the woods, he would be the perfect icon for your outdoorsy kid to dress up as. Whether for play or party, our Kids Davy Crockett Costume should do the trick. There's a flannel shirt with faux fringe, faux leather belt, a "coonskin" hat, and powder horn. Add a couple knives, hatchets, and rifles and your little one will be ready to take on whatever trouble comes bounding out of that forest.

They want to fight dragons, save the kingdom, and defeat evil in all of its forms. Other kids? Well, they're not quite interested in all that. They're more interested in skulls than saving the day!

The world was in danger and she had to stand up and wield a blade of light to defend the helpless against a shadowy darkness: Crystalfire, the dragon!She knew from the tales what needed to happen. She would need to train and get ready for a fight. There would need to be a little bit of magic at work, but she was bright and knew that she'd figure that out.

Long before there were awesome things to watch on modern TV, like pro wrestling, epic summer movies, and binge-able television shows, people had to get creative to stay entertained. Otherwise, they might have died of boredom, which considering how much easier it was to kick the bucket in ancient times, was probably a legit possibility. However, a citizen in Ancient Rome could always take a trip to the local arena to see a gladiator fight, which would liven up a dull afternoon in no time! Though back in those days, if your attention couldn't even be held by watching two dudes in flashy armor get into a bloody brawl, you could test your prowess by stepping into the arena, yourself. It wouldn't be our first choice for entertainment (since gladiators had notoriously short careers...), but if you have an unquenchable thirst for action, a life in the arena might be your ticket to glory!In the modern age, battling to the death for sport is usually frowned upon. But when you're wearing this Plus Size Roman Gladiator Costume, you'll have the look of a fearless ancient warrior, so you can fight for honor in a new type of arena.

With this fierce, ancient style aiding your quest for glory, you'll be the undisputed champion of the costume contest colosseum!

Taking You to TaskHercules had a lot to prove. He knew he belonged in Mount Olympus! Unfortunately, the drama of the gods landed him in the hands of mortal humans. In the end, there was a compromise. Hercules had to complete 12 labors. And these labors, they were hard! He had to slay a nine-headed monster named Hydra. He had to capture the bull that had given birth to the famous, dangerous minotaur. And finally, he had to return Cerberus, the three-headed dog from Hades, to Olympus. Basically, Hercules had to face down a lot of many-headed monsters! Lucky for you, you don't have to complete any tasks to take up the famous Hercules persona. Well, only one.

HEIR TO THE NORTHRuling an entire realm of Vikings is... complicated. Even when you have a Seer who is telling you what is going to end up happening, well, they tend to just tell you cryptic things about when you're going to die, so it isn't exactly always helpful. That is why, sometimes, it is better to be the firstborn of the ruler, instead. It gives you plenty of time to watch your father wield his axe and all that authority. Definitely gives you something to emulate!And, best yet, it gives you a clear idea of what you need to avoid when it is your turn to take leadership over the clan. From there, you can go around and finish off the things left incomplete. You can address all those old betrayals and bring vengeance down on those who brought the end to your father's legacy. From there? Well, we recommend that you maybe move forward with less obsession about allowing your fate to happen. Make your own fate! DESIGN & DETAILSWell, we're getting ahead of ourselves. Start off your earlier life with this officially licensed Bjorn Ironside Costume from Vikings. This exclusive look was crafted by our own Made By Us costume team in partnership with History Channel.

You also get a pair of pants and a faux leather belt but, let's face it, you're here for that realistic faux armor style. And that's why we made it!THE ONGOING DESTINYRagnar might give himself fully to the fate decreed by the Seer, but Bjorn isn't afraid to stir things up. Explore all the strange lands you desire and know that you're going to inspire your own kind of tales when you get this Bjorn costume for men and wield your mighty axe!
We've got a soft spot for the Robin Hood stories.Seriously. Nobility cast from his own castle, only to turn around and wreak havoc on the men who caused his aristocratic demise? Stealing from greedy government to give back to the over-taxed people? Hanging out around a bonfire in the woods with a bunch of guys who are so good-natured they're called "merry?" Sounds awesome to us. Then you get to throw in the whole damsel, evil sheriff, and bow-expert nonsense, and you've got one epic story.Epic enough that we've spent hours around the break room discussing who would be Maid Marion, Robin, Friar Tuck, and Little John (Bob over there is a shoe-in for Maid Marion). We've talked about company outings to go learn how to shoot a bow. We've discussed camping in the woods (though none of us have ever committed... we're not big campers). Regardless, you get the idea; we're fans. We're big enough fans that we want you to be a fan with us! Heck, you could even be Robin Hood if you wanted! We'd recommend coming in costume though (everything is better in costume). For instance, this Robin Hood Costume here. It's got a green crushed velvet tunic with a suede dagged hem. There's a faux suede cowl, a faux suede bracer, a belt, and even a pair of boot covers. Just get yourself a good pair of pants (or tights!) and a bow and you'll look perfect for robbing from the rich! Just one question: can we be your merry men?
