15th Century SurpriseMedieval times used to be pretty wild. People believed in witches, unicorns, and sea monsters that lingered on the unknown borders of the map. Rampant disease made sure that the kings in power were always changing, causing all sorts of wars and skirmishes. Still, in all this chaos, people were shocked when a young woman in France demanded an army to defend the French throne. Somehow, she was taken seriously. She led victorious battle after battle while she was still a teenager. We cringe to think about what we were up to at 18. Not breaking society's standards and taking hundreds of lives into our hands, that's for certain!Costume DetailsThis lightweight version of Joan of Arc's armor will have your kiddo feeling tough even though it's made of lightweight fabric. The costume features sleeves and pants with a chainmail printed pattern that won't weigh a kid down. A long blue tunic is layered over top with a Fleur de Lis printed on the front. A wide silver collar is just stiff enough to make your kiddo look ready for whatever battle comes her way! That's Oui, not WeeYour kid's capacity to amaze you is always taken to new heights. Who knows what she could accomplish if she was a medieval peasant called to the front. Luckily, that's not going to happen these days. But your child might still surprise you once she's in her Joan of Arc armor. Gone is the mac and cheese-loving scribble fiend you once knew. Now, your little one is a powerhouse! Complete this look with a sword and shield set and a few smudges of charcoal on her face for a dirty, battle-worn look to make sure that everyone else knows that your Joan of Arc is ready to take on the world!
A Historical MythWhenever you’re trying to craft the ultimate look, there are a number of places you can turn. History provides some excellent characters that are worth restoring to life. Comic books offer dozens of enigmatic heroes and villains alike that can be recognized on the spot! Then, of course, there are those celebrities that verge on myth, creating stories all over the world. So, why not become the best of all three worlds at once by transforming into one of the most mysterious and iconic characters of all time: the phantom of London, Jack the Ripper!? The Whitechapel Murderer leaves a lot unknown, and everyone loves a mystery! Bring this villainous killer to the present day and draw some real attention with our Men’s Victorian Jack the Ripper costume!Design & DetailsYou’ll be channeling one of the most enigmatic—and technically unidentified—killers from all time when you slip into this Made By Us costume.

Top everything off with the top hat with the matching hat band. You can be sure this look will be historic!Killer IdeasTo ensure that everyone identifies you as the Whitechapel Killer, add facial hair to create some mutton chops—a classic style for the late 1800s. Of course, a toy blade at your side is a perfect accessory… though a friend in a courtesan costume will have anyone raising their eyebrows in alarm!

No Victorian gentleman would be caught dead without their hat! The type of hat they wore usually depended on where they lived, which in the United Kingdom and American East Coast was probably a bowler. It has since become the trademark symbol of a true dapper English gent, and, believe it or not, was also pretty popular in the Wild West. If you think about it, a cowboy hat is basically just a bigger bowler with a wider brim. Who says cowboys can't look classy? These days, bowlers may not be the big fashion accessories they once were, but they can still add some very dashing style to your ensemble. Next time you are dressing up for a fancy party, try this Black Velour Bowler Hat on for size. It would look very proper with a black suit and tie. Or, if you're feeling like experimenting with new styles, see if you can pull off this bowler hat look with your every day outfits!

What are kings up to these days? They might have nice cars, live in mansions, and wear golden watches. They might employ suited up men with earbuds. The thing is, even if a king gets driven in a nice car these days that automobile is nothing compared to a golden chariot. That fancy mansion isn't much compared to alabaster columns.

These names resonate with action and might - but not more so than their larger-than-life contemporary, the legendary Egyptian queen Cleopatra!

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!

Nobility! Finery! Passionate and powerful gods! Academic and tempered minds engaging in worthy debate and discourse over complex and important matters! Drunken nights of wild boasting and debauchery! … Well, not all of that seems like it belongs wrapped up into the same perceived culture, but this is the Ancient Rome we know and love and it is completely understandable how so many find themselves seeking to reenact much of the ancient civilization.Whether you have ambitions of high society and the delightful antics that might accompany them or grand designs for a place among the ancient Roman gods, there is certainly one thing that holds true: you must look the part. And that part demands the perfect toga! The illustrious garment is seen worn both by Greek and Roman gods… which is admittedly a bit of a confounding kerfuffle. Are they the same gods interpreted by two different cultures? Two different pantheons who occasionally reside in similar places? Neptune, for one, was a pretty raging guy and rather impossible to deal with on even the best of days, though his Greek counterpart, Poseidon, enjoyed offering council and healing to those he liked… (and tormenting those he didn’t). Well, we might not be able to solve those differences, but we can definitely recognize that they had superb toga taste.And, whether you’re looking at doing a historical reenactment or headed out to the local frat for the perfect toga party, you are going to look fantastic, too, with this Deluxe Men’s Toga costume. The cream colored tunic has a draping front, edged with contrasting black and metallic gold-leaf brocade to give you that exotic and wealthy feel. The sleeves are edged with faux leather and the matching wrist cuffs give you that air of authenticity. Be sure to add the right leather sandals and perhaps a crown of ivy and you’ll be ready to ascend without even needing to debate the deific origins!

A Sherwood ThingEver notice how medieval peasants seem to know how to have a good time? Their king might be greedy. They might be running from a sheriff on a power trip. They might even be living in a forest. But there's a level of fun that poor fellas had in times gone by that we struggle to achieve in our modern get-togethers. Why else would Robin Hood's men be called Merry? They're always shown strumming on homemade instruments and bugling on second-hand horns while they dance and stomp on the forest floor. Now, we realize that they had to spend time fixing their shelters, hunting, and plotting to disassemble the establishment but when you're dressing up as a Merry Man, you get to do what you want. Whether you're stoking a campfire or twirling a maid around a sun-dappled clearing, it's hard to be grumpy when you're dressed to be merry!Design & DetailsWant a high-quality peasant look that you can wear year after year? Our Made by Us costumes are a great way to know you're getting a durable costume. The tunic is laced at the neck and hem. It's belted in the middle with a faux leather strap.

Just make sure that you're ready to skedaddle if that tricky sheriff comes sniffing around!
The Viking life was hard but beautiful. The Norse lived in a harsh yet bewitching land, they farmed between fjord and mountains, in a cold climate right by the sea. While the men were away, shipping off to trade or raid, the women took control of the farms. It wasn't a meager task, the amount of work to do was staggering. At night, though, the community would come together in the warmth of the fire as they wove tapestries or braided each other's hair and told the intricate legends of their people.Capture some of the romance of the Viking village when you put on this gorgeous red wig. With a long braid and soft curls, you'd look right at home standing on the docks looking out for the returning ships. Pair it with one of our Viking dresses and you'll almost be able to smell the salty sea. With those long locks, someone may just mistake you for the Goddess Freyr.
A real-life heroHeroes come in all shapes and sizes. There’s Superman, who can jump higher than a building and shoot lasers out of his eyes (sometimes… the power sort of comes and goes). There’s Spiderman, who can do some pretty amazing backflips and climb up walls without breaking a nail. There’s Wonder Woman, who wields the Lasso of Truth and, more impressively, never loses her invisible jet.Those heroes are all pretty great, but there’s someone who’s even more heroic. And she really lived, unlike the rest of these comic characters. We’re talking about… Harriet Tubman!Everyone knows the name of Harriet Tubman. This brave African American woman escaped slavery and made 13 missions back into the South to rescue 70 people through the Underground Railroad. But did you know that during the American Civil War, Harriet also served as a nurse, an armed scout and a spy for the Union Army? She was the first woman to lead an armed expedition in the war, and guided the raid at Combahee Ferry that liberated more than 700 enslaved people.

How does a post-apocalyptic coachman travel to his next steam engine convention? Why, in top-notch steampunk style, of course!We have to admit, we do not always fully “get” the steampunk aesthetic. Cerebrally, it just doesn’t make sense--is it the look of the future, or of the past? But not getting it doesn’t stop us from loving it! It’s so cool.

So if you want to make your ensemble speak volumes about your favorite trend, this durable Brown Suede Coachman Hat will be a huge help!

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!

Pioneers wrote that looking out over the prairies was like looking out over the ocean. There was grass as far as the eye could see, the wind blowing through it, causing it to move like waves.
