GET THOSE GEARS GOINGYou know when you've got a super good idea and it's just working in your head? You can pretty much feel the brain cranking and grinding to bring that genius-level spark into a whole fiery production. Can practically feel the steam pouring from your ears and your eyes lighting up with excitement, yeah? That's the inspiration of Steampunk calling to you. That perfect coupling of old style and new age innovation. It is time!DESIGN & DETAILSThis Steampunk Top Hat is the perfect thing to represent your creative flair. First, it was Made By Us, designed by our own Vintage Department of Futuristic Tech. It's more a low-top hat than a full-on crazy top hat, but at 5.5" tall, it gives you plenty of other styles you can wear it with. Really, you're here for the differently shaped brass gears riveted into the hat, though. All we need next is to get them actually mechanically active! KNOCKED INTO A COCKED HAT?We'll be honest. We had to look up that phrase. It means something has been destroyed and rendered useless. A rather funny way of saying "broken," but what else can you expect of something as classy as Steampunk. Anyway, with the high-quality of this Top Hat, you can be sure it'll stay non-cocked through the steam age!

The one thing all of these situations have in common is that this Men's Templar Knight Costume with give you the heroic look you need to be victorious!Back in Medieval times, if you were trekking across the realm with nefarious intent, you'd probably want to stay away from any Templar Knights you came across. The good news was that they were easy to spot in their white tunics with the big red crosses on them (and also the gleaming swords they carried); but the bad news was that they were some of the fiercest and best equipped fighters you could find. That's only bad news if you were on their bad side, though. If you were skilled and dedicated enough, you could always join their order and become a Templar, and then you'd be fighting alongside the very best!Okay, maybe becoming a Templar Knight was a little more complicated than swinging a sword and paying a monthly membership fee; but when you're donning this dashingly heroic costume, you'll appear up to the task!

Add a pair of rugged looking boots and a fierce longsword to tote around as you carry out whatever quest you're charged with!

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.
Becoming the princess of a Renaissance festival isn't easy! After all, there are plenty of little girls who are all vying for the title of princess. If you want your girl to stand out, then you're going to need to teach her all of the rules of being a princess, like being kind of heart, seeing the true beauty in people and remaining humble, despite being totally fabulous.

Toga party!!! It's something they've shouted throughout history, from Ancient Rome (where every day was a toga party) to modern frat houses in the good old U.S. of A. Whatever time period you're into... and whether you're plotting the downfall of Julius Caesar, or just celebrating the end of the semester in classic college style... our Plus Size Men's Toga is a timeless way to dress for the occasion!The applications are pretty much limitless with this costume, and so are the personas that you can take on. Greek philosopher? Plato, Aristotle, Socrates--they all totally wore togas. Roman citizen? Togas are what they dressed up in to visit the coliseum... and pretty much everywhere else. College party animal? Yep, you guessed it. No self-respecting frat boy in the 50s and 60s partied without one of these fine tunics (trust us, we've watched a lot of movies). And let's not forget the space cults Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock ran into in basically every other episode of the original Star Trek. All of them rocked the toga like it never went out of style (and if you ask us, it didn't). It may be one of the most versatile forms of dress (and costume) that ever existed.So whatever the occasion... Halloween, campus bash, a vote in the Roman senate, space cult meeting... the toga is a great choice, not only for its wearability and style, but also for its historical street cred. Made by us, the plus size men's toga is a costume for all seasons!
The prehistoric bone club was only wielded by the mightiest of Neanderthals; the ones who were strong enough to hunt a menacing dinosaur with a sturdy bone structure. If you're planning on being king of the cave and have your leopard tunic already, adding the mighty bone club to your ensemble is a must.During the dawn of man only the strong survived, and the famed dinosaur club was sure to assert your dominance. Plus, the bone is picked clean. An appetite like that can only come from someone who's worked for it! But know, that great power comes with great responsibility.So, what exactly is this bone from? It kind of looks like a shin bone from a poorly drawn Apatosaurus. Or maybe a femur from an oddly-shaped sabre tooth tiger? Not sure. Wherever you want to pretend you found it, works for us.
Zeus on the LooseLife is never boring when you're Zeus! Don't believe us? Well, check out this brief history of the Greek god! When he was born, his Titan father, Cronus, decided to eat him because he thought Zeus might grow up to overthrow him. Well, Rhea, Zeus' mother, didn't approve. She fed Cronus a rock (he wasn't too bright for a Titan) and he went on his merry way, thinking that he had eaten his own child. Of course, Rhea raised Zeus in secret, and he got pretty bent out of shape when he grew up... so, he ended up overthrowing Cronus. After that, Zeus decided to live life like one big party! He spent his time hanging out on Mount Olympus and throwing lightning bolts down to Earth!Definitely never a dull moment! Well, if you're looking to throw bolts and rule over the gods, then this Men's Zeus Costume is perfect for you!Design & DetailsThis Made by Us costume will help you step into the role of the mightiest of all Greek gods! The costume comes with a white kilt that has gold metallic trim and an elastic band in the waist for fitting. The white cape drapes around your shoulders and comes with a circular medallion at the shoulder to give you a regal look. The arm bands and cuffs are gold to match the trim, and the costume also comes with a gold headband to finish the look.The Greek Head HonchoAre you ready to take on the role of head honcho of the Greek pantheon? Do you want to sling lightning bolts like a boss? Then it just might be time for you step into the role of Zeus! With this Made by Us, Zeus costume is the easiest way to become the Greek god!
Everyone knows that being a goddess would be amazing. But what would be the best color outfit for a goddess to wear while going about her celestial business? Purple, of course! When your little one is dressed up in this Purple Goddess Costume, she'll look like she'd just strolled out of an Ancient Greek myth!There are a few purple things in the natural world, like grapes, lilacs, and a few flashy birds and lizards, so people have been aware of this pretty color for quite a while. But throughout history, purple dye has been notoriously difficult and expensive to make, and in the case of the dye called "Tyrian purple," which was made of rotten sea snails, it was also pretty gross to make! This meant that for most of history, only royalty and the very wealthy could afford to wear purple outfits. But no goddess is going to be thwarted by earthly technological restrictions like that, and if she wants to wear a purple dress, she's just a snap of her fingers away from having the chicest look on Mount Olympus!Luckily, this dress doesn't require divine intervention (or even rotten snails) to get its stunning purple hue. The cream colored synthetic gown and shoulder drapes transition to a heavenly purple color, which is complimented by gold details and brocade ribbons. Once she puts on the included gold headband and a pair of ancient style sandals, she'll be the best dressed goddess at any Greek costume party!
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!

This is kind of embarrassing, but we first knew Leonardo da Vinci as that one painter guy that one of the Ninja Turtles was named after (hey, we're no history experts here). We did a little research and it turns out that he's one pretty cool dude. He painted some awesome pieces, like the Mona Lisa and he even sketched up some plans for a helicopter. Of course, technology back then wasn't like it is today, so most people probably just thought he had his head in the clouds. Oh, and did we mention that he had some wild hair and a beard? Now, you can get his Renaissance-man style with ease!This Da Vinci Wig brings you the look of the Italian artist (not the Ninja Turtle). The wig features some synthetic silvery locks that will have you looking like a genius from the Renaissance, so make sure to have that paint brush ready!
True Old School CoolHistory is cool. We know, we know. Some people think it's actually not cool to think that, but just look at all of the awesome stuff Ben Franklin did during his lifetime! Let's see... first, there are the countless inventions that he created, like the Franklin stove that helped keep people warm during winter. Then, there are bifocals, which are largely unchanged from his design to this today. If that wasn't enough, the dude even created his own instrument called the glass armonica! Oh, and did we mention that he helped write the America Declaration of Independence? Yeah, Ben Franklin was like the Elon Musk of his time... except Ben started a brand new country, held the title as the first Postmaster General of the United States, and earned his place on the hundred dollar bill!If that's not cool, we don't know what is. That's also why we happen to think that this Boy's Colonial Benjamin Franklin Costume is one of the coolest costumes a kid can wear!Design & DetailsThis historical costume is based on one of the greatest figures in American history! Our costume designers took care to create a look that was befitting of the Founding Father, so they studied classic portraits of Ben. This costume is what they came up with! It starts with a brown jacket that has decorative buttons along the front to give it a colonial style. The jacket has an attached vest, making it easier than ever for your child to get dressed up! The matching pants are also brown and have an elastic waistband for fitting. Finally, the costume also comes with a cravat to complete the look. To get the look seen in the image, be sure to check out our wig, socks, shoe buckles and glasses to finish off the look (all of which are sold separately).Historic HeroIf your child thinks history is cool, then Ben is his man! This Made by Us costume is a great way for any kid to dress as their hero, Benjamin Franklin!
Rebel with a CauseNot every rebel needs a cause. They disobey the natural order for no real reason at all! Just ask James Dean about that one! But your girl, she's different. She wants to right the wrongs of the world! She wants to fight against all of the evil "Sheriff Nottinghams" of the world. She wants to steal from the rich and give to the poor. But, most importantly, she wants a good reason to carry around a bow and arrow with her when she dresses up at her next costume party. Well, your girl may just be ready to become the hero that the poor and downtrodden need! With this Girls Robin Hood Costume, your girl can assume the role of the legendary thief and archer!Design & DetailsOur costume designers love the legend of Robin Hood! After all, he was the perfect example of an outlaw who breaks the rules for all of the right reasons. They studied classic illustrations of the character and tried to capture the look, while also adding modern sensibilities to create this Girl's Robin Hood Costume. The costume comes with a white top, with a faux leather corset with a lace-up front. The belt comes with a small, faux leather quiver to help your young rebel carry some spare arrows (or her phone if she's taking a break from winning archery competitions). The included gauntlets are also made out of faux leather material to continue the Medieval style. The forest green leggings complement the faux leather style of the rest of the outfit and the included hood adds the finishing touch to the costume!Hitting the TargetIf your child is ready to rebel against tyranny, or if she just wants a look that will hit the mark at her next costume, then our Robin Hood Costume for girls is right on target!
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. Want to get a taste of the outlaw life? No need to build a den of sticks and stolen tapestries in the woods, simply slip on this Robin Hood Costume and you'll feel ready to take on a character with rich history!Details & DesignThis unique Robin Hood costume balances historical touches and modern fun. The off-shoulder blouse ties at the neck and has elastic around the wide neckline. A brown vest with rivets and a square-pattern hem brings Medieval fashions into living color. This costume is completed with green pants, a quiver belt, faux leather gauntlets, and a deep green velvet cape. Rock this with your favorite pair of moccasins or a pair of boots and you'll be ready for action.Take a BowWhile this costume looks like it's ready for some action as soon as it arrives at your door, when you top off this Robin Hood outfit with an archery-contest ready bow, you'll have a legendary look. If you really want to bring the Sherwood vibe to life, get your friends to tag along and become your merry guys and gals!
Got Moxie?It takes a lot of moxie to run a saloon in the Wild West.

Will it be dashing, heroic cowboy, or will it be some kind of villainous thug that needs to be taught a lesson? If you plan on owning the saloon, then you’d better know how to deal with both kinds of characters and you’d definitely better be dressed for success in the old west! After all, you can’t always count on the sheriff to solve your problems and you’re not the kind of girl who’s going to take any guff from rowdy cowboys!Yes, you need attitude and style if you want to keep all those rowdy cowboys in check.

BITESIZE ANCIENT HISTORYWe can hear you, already. "Not another history lesson!?" Well, just wait! Don't run off. This is going to be a quick and easy one that we're sure you're going to love! (And, you can't run, anyway. We've latched the doors and set up all sorts of ingenious traps to keep you around.) See, the thing about history is that there's just so much of it. It gets too huge to handle. That's why we're going to break up the history of all time into little, easy-to-handle chunks!There's something about little versions of things that are somehow super cute, too. Take the real-life "boy king" of Egypt. Tutankhamun was only nine when he took over an entire dynasty and even managed to keep the title until he grew up! It was pretty commonplace that folks would worship the Pharaohs after they were gone, but ancient Egyptians were loving King Tut while he was alive. Obviously, that's because they couldn't contain the adorable "awwws!" DESIGN & DETAILSBring the legend to life and make history once again when you transform your tot into Tut with this exclusive Egyptian Pharaoh Costume. Our team of designers moonlighted as archeologists for months to put together this high-quality look of dark black and gleaming gold. The short-sleeve tunic falls beyond the knee and matches the inner lining of the gold and black-striped headpiece. Shiny black fabric makes up the collar, cuffs, and the belt, though it is the hieroglyphics printed on the belt that really sell the look! THE YOUNGEST PHARAOH YET!King Tut made ancient fame for having the nicest pyramid to date and being the youngest kiddo to rule. But, time for the crown to pass to an even younger generation with your toddler! This Pharaoh Costume is bound to get way more attention than some old 18th Dynasty fuddy-duddy!
The king calls, and you answer. It's a simple proposition, really. He's the new king, and he's moving to the capital where most, if not all, of his enemies live. So he needs the bestest, bravest, and burliest knights in all of the land to stand by his side. He's appointing a special unit of body guards, you see. The king's guard!Do you think you have what it takes to serve and protect your king? We think you do! A Renaissance knight such as yourself will have no trouble guarding the king, well, provided for one very important thing. You've gotta have the right threads. And the right kind of armor!

This costume includes latex armor and a cape, so you can look like the elite knight you really are.

All hail the king!
Does not come with Big StickTeddy Roosevelt is the least presidential o all the presidents. In our opinion, that's one of his best qualities. He wasn't stuck up, in fact, he was always getting into all sorts of scrapes even after he was voted into office. He went blind in one eye after a boxing incident in the White House. Did he stop fighting in the White House after that happened? Not really, he just switched to jiu-jitsu. Teddy didn't hesitate to become the first president to travel the continental US, braving the treacherous wilderness of the wild west despite the worries of the politicians back in Washington. Actually, he took it further, while he was on the west coast on a speaking tour he snuck off with John Muir to go camping and explore the natural wonders of the Rockies and Yellowstone. This rebellious backpacking trip inspired him to make these national wonders into national parks. Also, we're pretty sure that's where he got that big stick that he mentioned in that famous quote of his. Product Details & DesignWhen we designed this Made-By-Us costume we wanted to represent the other side of US presidential history. This costume is both dignified as well as exploration ready. The suit has a khaki color and an early nineteen-hundreds cut. The brass buttons, jaunty brimmed hat, and collar embroidery add to the presidential flair while the holsters on the belt make you look rough and ready.Speaking Softly OptionalWhether you're choosing a look for Presidents Day or you want a historic look for Halloween, you'll love this dashing costume. You might find yourself longing to explore the wilderness and take on both politicians and moose with your bare hands but that's just a part of transforming into one of the wildest presidents of the US. Do like Teddy would do and take it in stride!

And they will let you get on with fixing your ship. When you are all done, just put them on a dapper top hat so they don't get lost, or broken again. Demigod Nicola Tesla would be proud of you.

Whether we’re talking about the prince of thieves who bounds in tights with his other incanting merry men, the dark and brooding archer who faces a seemingly endless line of corruption thanks to the usurping prince and his mean-spirited sheriff, or even the high-spirited and fox-faced animated hero to the peasants, we’re always fortunate to know that Robin of Locksley isn’t far away! And, it is worth noting that Robin told us long ago what a fox says: he makes bird calls!But, as fascinating and adventurous as Robin might be, it is his love who has our hearts!

Mystery at Grimshaw HallThe life of a noble maiden is usually pretty quiet. Days were spent sewing and wandering through the gardens and evenings were spent in the hall, listening to the harpsichord. That's what Lizbeth was expecting when she came to live in Grimshaw Hall. But the first night, she heard someone crying from the floor above her chamber. When she asked, her lady's maid insisted that she couldn't hear anything. A week later, she heard the sound again. This time she went to investigate. Bringing along her lady's maid, she crept along the dark halls of the manor. They snuck along the staircase, her lady's maid pulling at her skirts, asking to turn back before every corner. When they got to a locked door at the end of the... what? Oh, we're supposed to be describing this costume rather than writing a historic novel? Oh, sorry, we just got swept up in the romance of this historical costume!Design & DetailsThis gorgeous historical gown was designed by our in-house creative team. The royal purple velvet is has a damask center panel and is trimmed in a brocade trim. The sleeves are puffed at the top and have v-style cuffs trimmed in ruffles. Zipping up the back, this detailed dress is simple to slip into. Purple, Gold, and GorgeousAre you ready to take on a royal title? No need to travel back to the medieval era, this costume will make you feel like part of the royal court. Complete this look with an elegant headdress, jewelry, and even a long petticoat to give your skirts a bit of a lift. Whether you're dressing up for a costume party or going to a Ren Faire, this gown will make you feel elegant as soon as you slip it on!
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!
Not a PrincessWhile remaining a popular costume for kids, the life of a princess has never been easy throughout history. As long as one was a princess, there were extreme expectations for your behavior and education. You had to learn to become a diplomate as well as the model for all the young ladies in the kingdom. That might mean grinning and bearing it while your father, the king, creates a new religion so that he can annul his marriage to your mother effectively disinheriting you from the throne. This Queen Elizabeth the First Costume is not for a pretty princess, it's for a powerful matriarch. Design & DetailsOur creative team assigned this design to our resident history buff to create a costume that's worthy of Queen Elizabeth yet affordable by modern standards. This being said, you'll find delightful details within this costume. For instance, the fitted sleeves are trimmed in sheer ruffles and layered under dramatic draped outer sleeves. Queen Elizabeth’s trademark stand-up collar is kept in place with stiff foam covered in the same brocade of the gown to make sure that your character is instantly recognizable. Zipping up the back, you won’t have to depend on a team of servants to slip into this iconic historic costume. And if you want to go above and beyond, add an over-the-top red wig and pale makeup to complete the Queen's aesthetic. Power UpQueen Elizabeth had to deal with getting left in the lurch for many years throughout her teens and young adulthood. Her road to the throne was not a simple one. But once this matriarch became queen, she not only took the throne, she captured the hearts and imaginations of England. While she ruled over 400 years ago, we still are looking up to her royal air. Are you ready to channel this royal icon? Slip into this Made by Us costume to leave your princess garb behind and become a queen!

The men we talked to like sporting full beards because it makes them feel powerful, rugged, hardy, and overall more masculine. "No one ever picks a bar fight with a man who's efficient at growing a beefy beard," one participant noted. "Yeah, if a beard was good enough for Abe Lincoln, then a beard is good enough for me," another participate explained.Men-in-the-making, don't worry because your ability to display a robust beard will come soon enough. Until then, wear this red viking beard to give you the macho appearance you desire. You can see what it's like to have a furry face while also enjoying your time as a kid because it goes fast.

Fun Sherlock Holmes fact: The phrase "Elementary, my dear Watson" does not appear anywhere in the writings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Holmes's creator. It is a line from the 1929 movie The Return of Sherlock Holmes, spoken by actor Clive Brook in the title role. According to anecdotes the phrase MAY have also been used earlier, by actor/playwright William Gillette in an 1899 stage production of Sherlock Holmes, but there is no written evidence of that. Interesting, no?? These are the types of things you can tell people all Halloween long... and you can also keep an eye on that Dr. Moriarty and make sure he's not doing anything weird at the party like stealing lightbulbs or thumb tacks, that sort of thing.
