Founders KeepersWith the Hamilton musical, the founding fathers are really getting a comeback! Now, we're not saying that they are going to show up on the cover of Rolling Stone any time. But in this day and age, it's fascinating to look at what these guys did with very few resources, freedom, and technology. Each founding father played their role. Washington was the military genius that buoyed America's revolution forward. Hamilton was the hardworking idealist. And good ol' Benny. Well, he was the mad scientist turned socialite turned diplomat. When he wasn't hobnobbing with the French to get them to fund our independence seeking war he was inventing ways of preventing disastrous lightning fires or trying to get the idea of bifocals off the ground. And when he wasn't working he was taking one of his infamous "air baths". We won't go into it, the visuals are with us but they don't have to be with you. So when it comes to dressing as a founding father, we all know the Benjamin Franklin is the most entertaining character there is out there even with his receding hairline. pProduct DetailsWhether this costume is for a historical reenactment, a play, or just for fun, you're sure to get in character as soon as you slip it on. The jacket is layered over a full vest and is accented with a cravat tie. The long coat will make you feel official as you make your entrance into both European and American courts. The short pants have an elastic waist, letting your outfit stay tucked in and you remain comfortable. Making HistoryYou'll go down in costume party lore when you show up to any Halloween bash dressed as the gregarious Benjamin Franklin. All you need to do is top off this look with our hilarious receding hairline Benjamin Franklin wig and you'll be ready to spread the word of our new nation. Hey, play your cards right and you might even come up with a few inventions as the evening goes by. Never hurts to step into the shoes of a genius!
Time for Some Tea and Civilized Conversation"U up? Wyd?" Ugh, no thanks. Leave the texting era behind and go back to a time where the rules of civility were stylish and you could dress up as much as you like. It's not as though we want to get rid of indoor plumbing, air conditioning, and espresso machines, but it would be nice to be able to go to a ball - or more than one! - every season.

Hitch your wagons!Did you grow up reading the “Little House on the Prairie” books and dreaming about living in your very own sod house? Maybe you wistfully imagined milking cows before dawn and churning cream for 20 minutes straight to make your own butter. Maybe you longed to have the chance to spend the whole day doing laundry at the nearby river, or live in an underground home with a dirt floor and plenty of critters crawling underfoot.Or maybe your dreams ranged farther west, toward that great American journey: the Oregon Trail. Do you bitterly regret missing the romance of walking fifteen miles a day alongside your covered wagon, rubbing axle grease on your lips to prevent blisters and taking Epsom salts to try to cure your excruciating dysentery? Do you feel like nothing in modern day can compare to the thrill of collecting buffalo chips for the evening fire? Do you long for a daily food menu that’s primarily cornmeal and lard?

The exclusive costume is 100 percent polyester, which we admit wasn’t invented until about 100 years after the Oregon Trail period, but it still looks authentic, and honestly, it’s a lot more comfortable. The long-sleeved shirt features a collar, buttons down the front and trim along the front and sleeve cuffs, as well as a zipper on the back for easy wear. The floor-length brown skirt also has a zipper in the back for the same reason.Westward, ho!With this costume, all you’ll need is a covered wagon, six oxen and about 50 pounds of lard, and you’ll be all set for your very own Oregon Trail adventure!
Warrior PoseAre you ready to get in touch with your inner shieldmaiden? Us modern folks might have to do a little toughening up before we step into her fur-lined boots. Growing up as a Viking she probably has swum in the icy water of the fjords from the time she was a little girl. We've seen her take blows in battle. We've seen her plot to come back to the top after her position is threatened by both men and women in her life. She doesn't give up. As one of the toughest Vikings around, she always ends up on top!Details & DesignOur designers were pumped to put together this licensed Lagertha costume from the hit series, Vikings.

Copy her braided hairstyles and heavily lined eyes while arming yourself with our licensed Viking props. Always PreparedTo become shield wall ready, we suggest you start your training now.

Instead of hitting the gym try running through the forest pretending while listening to dramatic action music and throwing an ax at a target in your backyard. And when your friend is complaining about that jerk at work shout, "shield wall!" and confront the problem. Or you could just get in touch with your inner Viking with this rugged Lageartha costume. Just make sure you keep your shield on hand. Lagertha is always ready for a fight!
Cross the Delaware - Or the BathtubThe Father of our Country is an amazing historical figure, but do you know who else would have been happy to fill his shoes? Your toddler! We bet your little one could do several of the things that our national hero did over the course of his career. Chop down a cherry tree with a toy axe? Your little one did that yesterday to your favorite rosebush. Scout out the land as a surveyor and go for weeks without seeing civilization? Your toddler has a habit of disappearing and returning wearing enough dirt to look like he went on a month-long expedition. Lead a brand-new country into an age of prosperity? Your toddler could do that easily, but there would be a lot more resolutions to abolish school on sunny days and protocols about greeting visiting diplomats with fart noises.Design & DetailsTech geniuses and teens bitten by spiders aren't the only superheroes out there - say hello to a classic hero when your little one wears this exclusive George Washington Costume for Toddlers! The golden vest front and white ascot look splendidly presidential under the long, velvety blue jacket with its gold trim, shiny buttons, and fringed epaulets decorating its shoulders. The fitted jersey-knit pants look suitably dashing under a pair of gold-edged boot tops and the foam-backed bicorn hat looks so good that it makes the King of England think twice about his own crown.Fit for a PresidentYour toddler will love the cheers he gets when he dresses as one of America's greatest heros! Even though his costume might get him some sweet perks, we do not recommend that he impose a tax on his friends' Halloween candy. That would be an abuse of power.

Time MachineTime machines don't exist. Believe us, we've checked into it and no one seems to have the technology to make on work, yet.

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. It comes with a long-sleeved tunic that has quilted padding on the lower portion of the sleeves. The vest has faux leather, metal studs, and appliqued braided trim that gives it an authentic armored look. 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!
Can Do Kind Of GalThe World War Two effort involved everyone. It wasn't just about the men fighting the battles, people back home needed to contribute. Old women took apart clothing to sew and knit bandages, mittens, and warm socks for the soldiers on the front. Children harvested milkweed for life jackets. Families saved fat drippings to make soap for the folks abroad. Stepping up was a matter of civic duty. So when it came to building ships, preparing artillery, and riveting together planes, women proudly stepped up to the plate! With so many of the young men fighting overseas, there was an overwhelming amount of work to be done at home but it wasn't long before the nation's men and women came together to proclaim, "We can do it!".Details & DesignReady to balance grit with glamour? Our Made by Us World War Two Icon costume is a fashionable interpretation of the inspirational posters that were popular during the height of the war effort. Our in-house designers put together a sleek jumpsuit made of denim fabric that can easily be worn with heels or boots. The jumpsuit buttons up the front and has functional side pockets at the hips as well as gusseted breast pockets for a fully functional look. The costume is polished off with the faux leather belt and iconic red bandana, leaving you looking riveting right off the bat.American IconWant to represent the tough ladies that worked to support the WW2 war effort?

More Souls than You can shake the Styx AtThere's a lot going on in the underworld. More souls are crossing the River Styx every day. There are plots to plan. Minions to command. And if you could just get The Fates to listen to what you have to say without interrupting what you have to say with a, "we know" than perhaps you could keep your cool. Still, Hades is the man for the job. He's got plenty of charm for a guy who hangs around the dead all day. Very little gets past him. He found out about Hercules when the chump was a simple sunspot. And if his minions had learned a little competency, perhaps he'd be the ruling leader as we speak. But no, his minions failed him, as minions often do. And while he's still simply ruling the underworld instead of sitting in a place of honor on Mount Olympus, we can't help but think that this immortal fella has still got a lot to offer! Pomegranate seeds, anyone?Product DetailsFire yourself up for Halloween when you throw on this flaming Hades costume! This Disney licensed look includes a simple tunic that fits over your head. The blue color under black drapery with skull detail is sure to make you look like you stepped right out of everyone's favorite Grecian cartoon. A fiery blue wig tops off the look, making you instantly recognizable as the scintillating, incendiary ruler of the underworld.An Immortal CastAll the characters from Hercules are so much fun, we can't help but wish we could see them together again. Grant Disney fans the wish they never knew they had when you pair up with friends to go as Meg, Hercules, and Hades for a group costume. Memories of this Halloween are sure to be immortal!

In Ancient Egypt, royalty and rulership was a mandate of divinity. The pharaohs were reincarnated forms of the great sun god and ready to bring their people to an epic future of wealth untold under the guardianship of their priests who spoke with the great gods. Those who were disturbed or ruled unwisely might rise as mummies, forever tormented to wander the sands until the rightful pharaoh might come and return them to their slumber.But, the best thing about the pharaohs were that we had no specific limitations on who might be named! Those with the divine right would be raised, no matter who they were. The great queen Nefertiti ruled as the great female Pharaoh long before anyone contemplated if a woman could some day be president or chancellor! And, it wasn’t limited to just that. The great King Tutankhamen, the boy king, became one of the most famously known names in even our modern era. Even children could possess the wisdom to rule… at least for a while.And, reincarnation is still a thing, even these many years later. Channel the lost soul of King Tut by gifting your kiddo with the luxury of rule with this Child Pharaoh costume. The navy blue tunic has a printed ankh necklace and is edged in gold to both ensure a regal look while providing protection against dangerous forces. The brown interlock gathered loincloth is sewn to a sash and fastened with Hook and Loop fastener to stay in place, also featuring gold knit and mysterious Egyptian printed designs. The iconic headdress of the Pharaoh fastens with Hook and Loop fastener and falls over the shoulders like a regal crown. And, just in case you’re worried that your tyke might let the power get out of hand, the Pharaoh costume comes in multiple sizes so you can all rule as a dynastic family!
TIME TO SEE THOSE TOESIf you're like most, when you get home after a long day (at the office, field, or quarry), the first thing you do is rip those danged shoes off and sigh in the blissful anguish of releasing your feet into the world.

Take one look at these shining tootsies and you'll swear off "real shoes" until the next era.
Home on the RangeThe pioneer days were definitely something to behold. While living conditions weren’t exactly great by today’s standards, the world was their oyster – everything was new and exciting. The possibilities were endless. With so much wide open space, it’s no wonder that the imaginations of those who lived during that time gave us some of the great ideas and tools necessary to improve technology and take us even further into the undiscovered territories of the Americas. Girls on the pioneer trail also contributed greatly to the world we now know.Life on the prairies of the Old West could be hard.

A Knight's DutyBeing a knight is a big responsibility. It's not all just lounging around at the round table and counting up your riches.

Disorder in the CourtDo you think you have what it takes to serve in a royal court? It sure sounds fancy, but life in court was never easy. You had to be careful with what you said, who you looked at, and what clothes you wore. If you made the mistake of wearing a fur that was nicer than the queen's furs, you could be sent away from court for good! On top of keeping track of courtesy codes, a successful lady in court had to remember the complicated steps of many dances. At least the royal court was comfortable, right? Not really! Castles were often rather chilly and often surprisingly crowded with lice and mice running amok through the fine royal trappings. Looking back, it's enough to make us glad for our less dramatic yet much more comfortable homes. Now, you can dress like a royal lady without having to deal with the disorder of court!Design & DetailsThis Made By Us emerald gown was designed by our in-house creative team. The long gown zips up the back, making slipping into this look easy. The velvet gown is trimmed with ornate off-white lace down the front.

This high-quality gown is perfect for Renaissance Fairs and themed costume parties, making it a staple in your costume wardrobe!Rising in the RanksAre you dressing up as a lady in waiting? A traveling enchantress? A bona fide princess? Bring your character to life with the right hat, jewelry, or props. For instance, a princess might wear a circlet while a lady in waiting might wear a crown of braids or flowers. In the meantime practice your curtseys. If you're going to make it in court, you'd better start practicing now!
LITTLE MISS CLEOFolks are always talking about how great it might be to be the king, but all a person gets to rule in that scenario is one little kingdom. Sure, that might seem like loads of power and fame, but how many kings really stand out over the centuries. Heck, half of them even just number their names. Who wants to be the eighth Henry, after all? No, if anyone wants to truly be remembered, they need to be much more than that!Who else but Cleopatra is better known and held more power? A dose of Greek and Egyptian... one heck of a diplomat, artist, and tactician... a Queen and the last Pharaoh? That's quite the resume for a relatively young ruler. No wonder we're still trying to learn everything we can about her! We've got a ton of details about her famous life as the Queen of the Nile. But, what about those earlier years? Kinda tough to be certain about what little Cleo was up to, unless...DESIGN & DETAILSHelp discover some of the missing threads of the story when you crown your little one as the Queen of the Nile with this exclusive costume. Our designers have worked tirelessly to show their adoration for your little Egyptian with this sleeveless, empress cut dress and gold belt with black accents and hieroglyphics. The matching collar, wrist cuffs, and headpiece feature shiny gold trim while the sheer cape is a light teal fabric. All your future ruler needs now is a pair of strap sandals and a scepter! BE KIND TO THE SERVANTSRemember that when your little one is promoted to a virtual empress that they might look at you as being their servant. Well, technically, you did get them this costume and might help them dress up in it, so they're not totally wrong. Just remind them that a good Cleopatra was always kind to her handmaids.
The Hundred Dollar Founding FatherBen Franklin was one pretty smart guy. He invented bifocals, edited a newspaper and got himself on the hundred dollar bill. Have you ever seen his journals? He liked to ask all the questions. How else do you wind up flying a kite with the intent of getting struck by lightning! Okay, we still think his whole "flying a kite in the middle of a thunderstorm" idea might not have been the best idea ever since that could have really turned out badly, but he's a genius, so who are we to argue? All of humanity is now in his debt. We wouldn't want to go back to living without electricity. How would we charge our phone?Of course, history is filled with amazing stories and Ben Franklin is part of many of those American history stories. That's why we like this costume so much. It's the perfect opportunity to learn about our rich history!Product DetailsThis costume makes your little history buff look just like the legendary figure that we know so well from our books and monuments. We can't guarantee that while wearing it, he'll be inventing the glass armonica like the real Benjamin Franklin, but he will look cooler than the other kids at the next American history pageant that your child is in, and we think that's just as important as the invention of the glass armonica. It's got the felt coat with attached vest and cuffs, all in drab tones that just say the 1700s. No costume from that era would be complete without a cravat, and this has one! The knicker pants go to the knees and fit easily with elastic.Ben Franklin Costume for BoysOkay, so he's going to learn all about history while wearing this classic costume, but whatever you do don't let him go out in the thunderstorm with that kite. We already have electricity. It's all good. He can just sit back and learn the glass armonica like all the other kids are doing these days (we assume).

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.

It showed everyone in Roman society that you were an upstanding citizen and could easily be compared to a suit, or maybe a sweater vest in today's standards. Of course, if you're planning on being an extraordinary Roman figure, then you're going to need something a little more eye-catching than the standard white toga.

She of the Ointment JarBastet was known as an intensely fierce cat goddess that was in charge of defending the pharaoh. While her name translates to, "she of the ointment jar", she doesn't actually have anything to do with cold cream. This fierce lion goddess has been around for about four-thousand years. Bastet's symbols decorated both the pharaoh's chambers as well as the jewelry of mothers and women who wanted to be mother's. The idea was, like a house cat, she would be tender to her young and fierce to anyone who might threaten those under her care. She sounds like a goddess we wouldn't mind having around!Details & DesignMake sure Bastet has your back when you dress up in an Egyptian costume this Halloween.

After all, when you're proudly walking into the room as Nefertiti or Cleopatra, you need a goddess to back up your authority. So throw the gold chain over your shoulder to let everyone know you're not "kitten" around!

Interesting InsectsWhen we think about steampunk-themed items, we usually think of mechanics. After all, the idea is to consider what our world would look like if we still ran things on steam instead of other forms of energy. We don’t always wonder what mechanical animals would look like. Here’s one imagining of an awesome insect! We’ve always been a little disappointed that dragonflies don’t actually look like miniature dragons. However, they’re still really cool! They have 4 wings instead of the typical 2, which is pretty neat, and they come in so many different colors. In the steampunk world, they’re made of metal so they’re a little less vibrant, but their wings are still beautiful!Product DetailsAdd the perfect gear-themed accessory to your steampunk outfit with this antique dragonfly gear pin! It has gears to emulate that antique style while keeping the shape of the fascinating bug, and attaches with a safety pin to minimize stabbing.

Lessons From Robin HoodSteal from the rich and give to the poor can be a useful lesson to teach your kids – though you may want to tweak it a bit so they aren’t actually stealing from anyone! Kids are already quite apt to live this mantra by nature – most kids are caring and can see inequities much better than their adult counterparts.But being Robin Hood isn’t all about work – he liked adventure just as much as the next person, probably much more, actually. Getting out and about in the forest and making new friends was something Robin Hood was quite skilled at. After all, they called his band "Merry Men" for good reason!Product DetailsTurn your child into the prince of thieves and the savior of Nottingham in this Kids Robin Hood Costume. This kids costume comes with an olive green hooded shirt and vest combo that has long sleeves and a front placket with brown cord for lacing. The brown suede vest panels fast at the front with three faux leather buckled straps. The details are what truly make this costume stand out: from the matching faux suede gauntlets with padded forearm guards (you know, for all of the arrow shooting), to the matching cuffed boot covers and the pouch that attaches to the black faux leather belt with hook and loop fasteners. The details really bring this costume to life!Halloween EssentialsThis Robin Hood Costume will be a great choice for Halloween fun or for dress-up play. Add a bow and arrow set for the legendary archer (sold separately) and your little adventurer will be ready to lead his merry men against the evil Sheriff of Nottingham!
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!

Prospecting may sound like a hard life, but it’s actually the best existence you could ever imagine. First of all, you get to be all by yourself every day. No crabby drones from HR leaning over your shoulder, no having to sign Jenny’s birthday card, no mandatory productivity meetings. It’s just you, your pickaxe, and the buzzards circling around you in the sky. You get unlimited access to heavy explosives, firearms, whiskey, and beef jerky, so you’ll never be bored. And whatever you’re prospecting for, whether it’s oil, gold, or whatever else it is that people prospect for, is going to make you a millionaire if you ever find it.Also, no more long hours stewing in an uncomfortable car just to get to work. When you prospect, at the end of every day you build a campfire, eat beans, pitch a tent, get your seven hours, and when you wake up you’re already right next to the hole you’ve been digging alone for seven months. Doesn’t that just sound like a little slice of heaven?Our Prospector Costume comes with the rugged shirt, hat, and bandana you need to really look like you haven’t seen another soul for years (not counting coyotes). Match this up with a grizzly beard, fake dynamite, and any other number of Western-themed accessories and everyone you meet will feel like they’re the ones who struck gold -- just by running into you!

Of course, what is better than being King than being a God-King!? Especially as a little kiddo!? Well, one major advantage is that your grand guardians will still probably make sure that you’ve got all of your important royal regalia ready for you before you move out to address all of your beloved followers!Headdress, check.

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!
