Redesigning a DynastyIf you could redesign all the wonders of ancient Egypt would you change anything about their design? We realize that it's a bit blasphemous to critique these ancient wonders but that's just because we're looking at history through rose-colored sunglasses. The Sphinx is cool and everything but the thing is, as a half-cat the Sphinx has probably been pretty bored through the centuries. A pharaoh like you could have had his people sculpt a ball of string between the paws of the Sphinx to keep the calm creature calm through the ages. Maybe the Sphinx would have even thrown a few blessings down on your reign. Either way, it would be pretty awesome to head back to ancient times to see the pyramids in all their glistening marble sided glory and float through the green glories of the Nile. But if you're planning on a time travel coup, you're going to need the right costume!Product Details & DesignThis Made-By-Us look is sure to make you look right at home in the palaces of ancient Egypt!

Top historians from all over the world, even the ones who are total ninnies, can all agree to at least one fundamental academic principle: that knights are totally the coolest guys ever, even cooler than ninjas, pirates, and zombies combined. You have your Knights of Columbus, champions of charity and fundraising barbecues across the country. You have your Dark Knight, proof that the greatest superpower is money. And you have your Knights of the Round Table, saving damsels and calculating the airspeed velocity of unladen swallows around the clock.Do you have what it takes to be a knight? To wake up at the crack of dawn to practice your, horsemanship, chivalry, and head-chopping-off skills? Do you have the gumption to hunt down heretics the world over? Do you have the decency to die face down in the muck because you can’t get up thanks to the 150 pounds of plate armor you’re wearing?If you’re anything like us, definitely not. Doesn’t matter though, because all you need to live the chivalrous lifestyle nowadays is our Renaissance Coat. With this matching coat, belt, and pair of gauntlets you’ll have your look all set for any pageant, party, or role-playing event your quest can throw at you. Knaves will cower in terror as your triumphant shadow casts over them. You won’t be able to even keep track of the damsels wooed by your presence, and maybe a few crones too. It’s that potent!
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to Viking deities. Mostly, respect meant keeping your head high, keeping the whining to a minimum and fighting til the end. If Viking warriors could do that than they would be carried to Valhalla by a type of Norse goddess called a Valkyrie. Sweet deal, eh?The goddesses of the Vikings had it together, at least compared to the gods. They never kidnapped people, plotted violent events, or schemed to make the other gods feud with each other. The Valkyries focused on getting their important jobs done and hit up the mead hall in after hours. Hmm, sounds similar to human women in the modern era. And when Valhalla got too loud and violent? Who'd have thought a heavenly mead hall full of Viking warriors would be loud and violent? The Valkyries would seek some peace and quiet on earth, swooping into battles on their flying horses surrounded by ravens that they could communicate with. That doesn't sound like a bad gig.It's easy to channel your inner fierce goddess for your next costumed event. Lucky for you, Odin has blessed us mere mortals with a perfectly balanced costume that's at once cozy and sexy. In velvet and faux fur, you'll be ready to patrol the wind-blown battlefields of Norway while the off the shoulder dress with thigh high skirt slit makes you ready to party in Valhalla. Talk about versatility! The faux leather armor will let those warriors know you're no one to be messed with, even Thor has to lay some respect down for this Valkyrie.
What a Novel IdeaSmall talk can be so boring. What's the weather been up to? How's work? Do you think that paint that we're watching on the wall is dry yet? It's time we went back to a time when making conversation was an art. A time when you couldn't quite come out with your true opinions but you could certainly waltz around any subject you liked for an hour or two in the drawing room. A time when Jane Austen was a master at crafting stories around human interactions!Details & Design Want to look right at home strolling through an English garden while contemplating a new composition for your novel? Our exclusive Jane Austen costume will make you feel like a 19th century novelist in an instant. This costume includes a long dress cinched with a pink ribbon at the waist. It has a square neckline and a sheer sleeve. It can be worn with or without the cropped jacket with its gorgeous puffed sleeves with pleats and buttons down the front. The whole ensemble is topped with a beautiful blue bonnet that's accented with a thick shiny ribbon that fastens in a bow under the chin, we'll call that Jane's thinking cap. Ladies and GentlemenThe 19th century was a time of Pride & Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and so many other novels with perfectly quotable moments. And don't get us wrong, we know that Jane broke the mold chapter by chapter. Being an author wasn't an extremely ladylike profession. In fact, no profession was ladylike. But at the same time, she brought the lady's lifestyle into open air for common people to read. In fact, thanks to her gentle turn of phrase, we can still imagine that ladylike lifestyle when we curl up with one of Miss Austen's legendary books. It's time to get your quote on with a costume that pays tribute to Jane Austen's lovely wit.

My country tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.During the American Revolution women were called upon to help their country. They were asked to design the new American flag. They were responsible for how the world would see our budding nation. How we would be perceived by other countries.These women were the backbone of early American life. They washed their clothes on washboard racks, and dried them on clothes lines. They did back breaking house work, as their men folk were off fighting against the British, for freedom from the king. Freedom from unfair taxation without representation.This year on Independence Day remember the women who helped make this great nation what it is today. Remember their hardships, and the backbreaking work they put in to give us our freedom from the British Empire. Wear this Women's Colonial Lady Costume to your 4th of July parade. And make sure you wave this thirteen-stared early American flag high as the veterans who fought for our freedom walk by. They will appreciate seeing a strong woman in a lovely colonial era dress who supports them. And although the flag has changed since Betsy Ross' original design, it still has the same power to all who see it.
There's gold in them thar hills!It’s been countless years since you turned your back on civilization to go make your fortune. Your beard is down to your knees, your shirt has more holes than a wheel of Swiss cheese, and you’ve had it up to here with wrestling bears. But you just know that the oil is out there somewhere. You wipe your brow as you look up to the unforgiving desert sun, hike up your pants, and give your pickaxe one more swing before calling it a day.A brief calm melts before the ground below you begins to swell and rumble. Thin ebony rivulets start to puddle at your feet. This is the moment you’ve waited for. You bound out of your hole just in the nick of time as the earth beneath erupts into a geyser of black gold. Texas tea. Oil, that is. You sprint to the nearest town to stake your claim, and in only a few months you’re tanning beside the pool at your seaside mansion. Not bad for someone who dropped out of 1st grade, right?Design & DetailsOur Prospector Costume will let you live out this roughneck vision of the American dream, back when fortunes were made in the real wilderness rather than the concrete jungle. After wearing this once you may just contemplate trading in your minivan for a burro and setting off for the Sierra Madre. What could be better than that? Bears aside, of course. So many bears.

When Crime PaysWe'll never suggest that anyone break the law. Honestly, the last that robbery was charming, it was when some guy in tights stole a bunch of gold from a tyrannous monarch.

Have you ever wanted to be the President of the United States? It is a thought that many of us have had from time to time and one that, certainly, our parents have considered for us as they proclaim that we had the ability to become anything that we set our minds towards. The Presidency seems to always be that highest pinnacle, the crowning achievement. Then again, some can look at high public offices and wince a bit, pointing at a number that have left a number of us wanting and a few others aghast as we’re trying to figure how they managed any votes! And, even if you think you can handle the job, campaigning is such a pain in the rear.But, there are much easier ways to become the President without having to run around the whole country, talking yourself up and kissing every baby until you’ve managed to win enough votes—and we’re not talking about voter fraud, either! You can just transform yourself into a President that everyone already recognizes with this Ronald Reagan mask. Transmogrify with this full molded latex mask and get ready to yell “Reagan Smash!” as you topple your opponents as one of the most heavy hitting Presidents of them all. But, a warning: remember that Reagan masks usually have a different meaning when you go to banks, so we don’t recommend that.

Maybe you're thinking of dressing up like a king or a queen, envisioning heaping piles of coinage and blackbird pies. But that's not what being a ruler is really like! When you're the wealthiest and most powerful person in the realm, you're everybody's first call when something breaks and they need help fixing it. You're not just some fancypants prancing around in their puffy sleeves and twinkling crown: you're like a well-dressed 24/7 plumbing service. And Renaissance plumbing is not something you want to have to fix, no matter what you're wearing!So we made this fine Noble Renaissance Man Costume for people who crave a life of leisure. Sure, somebody wearing an outfit like this probably doesn't bathe in coffers overflowing with gold florins. But they also don't have people knocking on their door at all hours because a kitty cat or pigheaded goat is stuck in a tree again, and nobody else can afford a ladder. A Noble Renaissance Man like this is free to tend his modest parcel of land or become learned, to play chess or train in swordsmanship. Or all of the above!And maybe he's not covered in gold and jewels like the chump wearing the crown, but we figured that this guy would still have some pretty stylish clothes. So we made his tunic and bonnet out of velvet. Then we lined his cape with satin, and fastened it with a flashy golden chain. We even threw in some great-looking boot covers and stuck a feather in his cap for good measure. It's a complete look, ready for a costume party or Renaissance Faire!

Some people put on a polo shirt and a name tag when they go to work. Other guys like Maximus Decimus Meridius, well, they put on a frightening armor and grab a sword.

Kid TutIt’s not easy being the Pharaoh of the civilized world. Sure, the ultimate power is nice, but it’s hard too, you know. You don’t see the Grand Vizier having to do algebra homework. You don’t see the High Priest of Amun-Ra being told to eat all his peas before he can have dessert. But when it comes to you, expectations are unbelievably high.If the King of Nubia wasn’t such a doody head big booger-breath, you wouldn’t have such a hard time getting along.

The King of Persia pushed you in the hallway on the way to Social Studies.

The King of Persia stumbles back and runs down the hallway screaming. “Thanks, Mr. Janitor,” you say, “now I’ve gotta get to class before the bell!”

Extraordinary GodsGreek gods were kind of boring. Zeus just looked like an old guy with a scraggly white beard. Hermes was just a normal looking dude with some wings pasted on his feet. Cupid was a flying baby. That’s all fine and good, but what if you want to be an ancient god that truly looks extraordinary? Then you need to look at all the Egyptian gods from the ancient world.

What ever are you going to wear to the History Department’s annual Halloween party this year? Last year, you went as Henry V; the year before you did a mean Paul Revere. This year it’s time to take it way, way, WAY back to ancient Egypt. We guess you’re serious about taking gold in the costume competition championship, eh?Ever since you took over teaching Ancient Civ you’ve been wondering what your favorite historical era would truly be like. You know what they say: if you want to know how another person lived, you have to walk a mile in his sandals. Dressed in this historical Egyptian Pharaoh Costume, you can finally follow in the footsteps of those worshiped as if they were gods! Of course, being a pharaoh isn’t all about looking nifty (though that’s a big part of it). If you are serious about defending your kingdom, you’ll need to consider adding a shield and a spear or bow and arrow set before you mount your chariot and gallop off to the gala! But you don’t care about those commoners; you are a pharaoh for crying out loud! Enjoy the 21st century while you can! You can invite Cleo to be your date and your rise to power will surely be great as you ascend the costume competition throne!
While everyone searches endlessly for the most shared memes, the most relevant pop culture, and the most timely politics to inspire their costumes this year, wouldn't you rather prop your feet up on a nice, big stone and enjoy the simpler things in life? Like attire made from the coats of wild jungle cats. And fire-roasted squirrel. And we mustn't overlook the dry safety of a hole in the wall....No? Well, even if that's not your thing, we've got the perfect costume if you aim to let some other primal instincts loose this Halloween. Even if squirrel stew somehow doesn't pique your interest, consider the hilarity that could ensue if you made "sorry, it's just my instincts" your sole excuse for all your wild behavior. You ate all the deviled eggs? "Not sorry, I haven't eaten in four moons." You got caught dancing on the host's dining room table? "Sorry, but it's a ritualistic, instinctual thing you modern bipeds wouldn't understand." You are being interrogated over the scent of snacks emanating from your purse and coat pockets? "While you all are hunting each other, someone around here has to be the gatherer." This one-shoulder sheath mini-dress will make a perfect costume for exploring any of the above possibilities—or for forgetting about the complexities of modernity and dancing like the animal you are. We approve wholeheartedly of the aforementioned scenarios, but cannot promise that all your instinctual impulses will be necessarily "lawful." Exercise caution—but not too much, you wild thing.

You would lay down your life in honorable battle for the good of the Kingdom.Lord direct us

That's probably because the guy was so awesome that he literally glowed with huggable light.

Don't Take Any Wooden TeethGeorge Washington is famous for telling the truth. Funny, since there are many false myths about this founding father. First off, let's get this straight. President Washington did not have dentures made of wooden teeth. If you think about this, we should have known. Of course, he didn't use wooden teeth. He was a well-dressed, high ranking member of society even before he was president. Can you imagine how uncomfortable wooden teeth would be? No matter how well-varnished those dentures were, they'd get splintery within weeks! We're sure George Washington wouldn't mind if that rumor ended once and for all. The first president of the United States also didn't chop down a cherry tree or ask Betsy Ross to design the first American flag. But to be honest, those myths are a lot less disgusting than the wooden denture story, so we'll let those slide for now. Design & DetailsThis bright blue and yellow General George Washington uniform is Made By Us, which means it was designed by our in-house creative team. The costume includes a blue jacket with an attached cream-colored vest with gold trim and buttons. It's completed with a simple cravat slips around your neck, a tricorn hat, and boot covers that slip over your shoes and attach with an elastic band.
