Once upon there was a Gladiator. He had all the armor and the muscles in the world. Women would melt upon meeting him. He was a real catch, a warrior who everyone thought was so strong. Well, the truth was he lost all his weapons. This had become a problem for him for a while. It's hard to find a high quality ax while traveling around. Good thing he was just a Halloween Gladiator and had access to the internet. He found not only his costume online, but also a cool Gladiator Axe. Good for not only his Halloween costume, but awesome for LARPing too! The Axe handle is 25 inches long, and the blade is 11 inches by 14 inches. The molded plastic is made to look just like wood and metal.

A Different Kind of Spin ClassWhen Jenny showed up for Colonial Spin Class, she was shocked. Where were the bikes? Why was everyone wearing full-length dresses instead of yoga pants? While Jenny didn't get the full-body workout she came for, she was blown away by how fun it was to sit at a spinning wheel and make yarn while catching up on pre-revolutionary gossip. What was Goody Tailor thinking wearing scarlet to Sunday services? The Johnsons purchased yet another ox and haven't even sold their wheat crop yet. Captain Emanuel Downing was planning on coming to the country dance to the excitement of every unmarried young lady in town! At the end of the two-hour class, Jenny had decided that she was definitely going to return. Next time, though, she was going to be dressed for the occasion!Design & DetailsThis historic costume was designed by our in house creative team. Since it's Made By Us, it's been designed with longevity in mind, making it a great pick for theaters, schools, and history enthusiasts who want to dress up again and again. The lovely pink floor-length gown has buttons down the front of the bodice, a modest square neckline trimmed in ruffles, and a crisp off-white apron attached to the waistline. The three-quarter sleeves bring a little of the 1700s to life while the bonnet and shawl will make you ready to stroll into the town square, or spinning class, whatever suits you best!Cottage CoreJenny knows what to expect when she shows up to Colonial Spin Class now and while she wears a full-length dress in the morning while she's at the wheel, she's convinced her historical-enthusiast friends to join her later in the day for a little open-air yoga in the meadow. Talk about the best of both worlds!
It Was the Best of Times, It Was the Worst of Times...Civil war, or any kind of war, is never great. There's always bloodshed, heartbreak, sickness, shortages, and wounds - both physical and mental - that take time to heal. On the other hand, just like throughout the rest of human history, there are always good things to be found right alongside the bad. Physicians start to realize that handwashing before surgery is a good idea. The bridge to women's suffrage begins to be built. The steam engine blazes across the prairie, reuniting families and cutting down on weeks of travel in covered wagons. And best of all, women's fashions were absolutely stunning! Product DetailsYou'll fit right in during the War between the States thanks to this exclusive Plus Size Women's Civil War Dress Costume! The floor-length dress is made of light and comfortable polyester calico fabric and is printed all over with a delicate floral pattern. We did you a solid and put a zipper up the back instead of a million tiny buttons (it might be less historically accurate, but you'll thank us for the fact that you can fasten your dress yourself instead of having to get someone to do it for you.) Pink satin ribbon decorates the cuffs, hemline, and bodice, and a matching ribbon is sewn to the waist as a sash. The plastic cameo and decorative buttons give the dress some extra flair. An included petticoat goes under the whole thing to pouf out your skirts beautifully - no hoopskirt required! American BelleWhether you wear this costume for a pageant, reenactment or party, you'll look like America's sweetheart. Enjoy the benefits of throwback fashion without having to wear a corset to get the look!
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!

Be a GeniusBy age 20, Leonardo da Vinci earned the label “genius” and “master,” among others, from his peers in Guild of Saint Luke. After his death, he was exalted: “He towered above all other artists through the strength and the nobility of his talents.” In slight contrast, by age 20, we felt like a genius the first time we soft-boiled an egg in our ramen noodles. But our self-pity is neither here nor there. Geniuses are cut from a different cloth. Are you good at art? Do you have sketchbooks full of doodles and ideas and as-yet-unanswered questions? Maybe you have one of those similarly magnificent minds! The polymath of your generation, perhaps you’ll dethrone da Vinci as world’s greatest painter, or open a new frontier in cartography or paleontology. Or electric vehicles! We bet old Leo would be fascinated by green energy ourselves.Design & DetailsLucky for you, we don’t cut from the same cloth around here either. Our Leonard da Vinci Costume for Men is a Made by Us exclusive, so you know care went into every single stitch.

Yes… they will run solely on, erm, rainwater, and positive thoughts. Okay, never mind. We’ll leave the genius work to you.
Let them eat cake the most consequential misquote of history. Marie Antionette never made this arrogant suggestion, it was her aunt that said it. Also, it was very good advice. The original suggestion: when all the cheap bread was sold out the bakeries should sell the starving peasant cake for the same price as the bread. Not a bad idea, if you ask us.That being said, Marie Antionette did have a pretty intense love for the finer things in life. Let's just say, she had a hard time sticking to the budget. But consider this, she was escorted to France with fifty-seven carriages, one hundred seventeen footmen, and three hundred horses at the impressionable age of fourteen, the example of extravagance was set immediately. So, she thought nothing of using yards of silks per gown and building up her large extravagant wigs to suit each occasion. Her famous ship wig? It was built to celebrate a French naval victory. In a way, Marie's wigs were kind of like Tweets. The newspapers weren't going to report what she said but they would report on what she wore!Marie may not have been a favorite of French peasants but she certainly changed fashion forever. Look at us! We're still dressing like her! You won't have to worry about losing your head when you don this gorgeous ensemble. This gown is lush with a blue silky material and pale mint green ruffles at the sleeves and down the front. Top it off with a gorgeous iconic white wig and you'll be ready for your debut at Versailles. When you look this good you can have your cake and eat it too!
Delaware River ReadyWashington was a founding father and the first president of this country but he also looked pretty great in epic scenarios. That could be because of his perfectly coiffed wig.

There are a few basic pieces that every man should have in his wardrobe. No matter what the career path he is taking, a crisp white shirt is a versatile purchase that no closet should be without.

A Beloved TaleOne day many, many years ago, a young Isaac Newton was napping on the grounds of his school when the teacher whose class he was supposed to be taking stumbled across him. The teacher shook him awake. "Why aren't you on your way to the lecture?" he demanded. "Um," Newton was beginning to say when an apple fell on his head. "Because I am busy discovering gravity!" he finished. "Yes, that's totally what I was doing here." We're pretty sure that's how the story goes, anyway. Product DetailsDress just like a genius mathmetician in this Sir Isaac Newton Costume for Boys! The outfit includes a long green jacket with lapels, flared cuffs, and white ruffles sewn around each wrist. The mustard yellow vest front features a row of white buttons. A ruffled white cravat fastens at the back of your neck. The knee-length gray pants have a comfortable elastic waistband. Add a touch of historical elegance with the faux shoe buckles that secure under each shoe via elastic bands. The Power of Math Scientific discovery isn't just about completing boring homework problems. It's about looking at the everyday world with curiosity and testing cool new theories about the things that fascinate you! Someday you could be remembered as the kid who proved an obscure volume principle by trying to figure out how many pieces of broccoli you could hide under your dinner plate. If you're feeling generous, you can even thank your broccoli-loving parents in your speech when you accept your award.
The Ancient Greeks certainly had style nailed down. Nobility! Finery! Passionate and powerful gods! Nights of wild boasting and debauchery! Whether you have ambitions of high society and the delightful antics that might accompany them or grand designs for a place among the ancient gods, there is certainly one thing that holds true: you must look the part. Our modern day has well remembered this and stolen what we can of the ancient times. You’ve heard of the epic toga parties, no doubt? Well, they might brush against some of the style, but they’re still missing the class!But, take that ancient toga and add in a bit of refinement, some properly placed golden sashes, and a pose that is ready to command whole legions and you quickly are finding yourself in the territory of the divine, whether you are a mortal, yet powerful queen of many or have ascended into the highest peaks of Mount Olympus to claim one of the golden thrones as a goddess. The trouble is figuring which you’d prefer. It seems like a silly question: queen or goddess? Who would possibly choose to give up godhood!? But, those ancient Greek gods are a tough lot! Constantly fighting over even minor things and getting themselves into a ton of trouble. Maybe it’d be easier to simply have to deal with mortal affairs!The choice can be yours with this Spartan Queen costume. Don’t let the name fool you, because this backless white halter-style dress could be divine just on its own! But, add a ribbon band below the bust with golden detailing, another at your waist, and then a swath of crisscrossing gleaming white fabric over a floor-length skirt and you have a gown that breaks the confines of time itself. Choose the right accessories, including a goddess wig, golden armbands, or a gold leaf circlet and you could tell Zeus it is time to step down and let reign the first Goddess Queen!

To the modern eye, the ancient Greek pantheon might look a little silly decked out in those archaic robes.

Just pick up any American history book and you can read all about the guy. Let’s see, he supposedly chopped down a cherry tree when he was 6… while most kids were playing with blocks at that age. When he was 20, he became a Major in the Colonial Military. He fought in the French and Indian War. Then he brawled it out with the British in the Revolutionary War and became the leader of the brand spanking new nation, the United States of America!George Washington is the kind of man that everyone should strive to be!

What happens when every cantankerous cowpoke, every grimy gunslinger and depraved desperado wants to come to your party to wet their whistle? Why, you give them exactly what they want pardner, 'cept we reckon you give it to them with a little more attitude. We reckon you ought to serve those rowdy varmints a taste of surly with that whiskey.It takes a particular type of hombre to serve the rough and tumble cowboy types of the Wild West. Those boys have spent a whole day riding horses, roping cattle and protecting the ranch from bandits, so the only way to serve them is with an attitude and look as rough as their own countenance. That means slamming a shot of whiskey down on the bar while staring at them with a cold hard grimace. It also means wearing the kind of hard Wild West outfit that shows them that you're a man of true grit too. You need something a little like this exclusive costume we have here...Based on a classic look you'd find in a saloon in Tombstone, Arizona, this Old West Bartender Costume will have you looking tough enough to serve any kind of rough customer. It's the plus sized version of our classic bartender costume, so larger-sized cowboys can fit into it no problem. The shirt and vest combo have a classy, yet stern look about them. And these pieces are made of oxford cloth and worsted. That's some sturdy fabric there, pardner. That'll stand up to a bar-room scuffle without tearing apart, so you can toss any rowdy troublemaker out of your saloon without worrying about your shirt ripping. That's something any cowpoke can appreciate.
A Toast to the RoastThe Medieval Club is a classic scene. Folks are downing ale and tearing bread with their brawny hands as they sing bawdy tunes. Honestly, it sounds like a pretty good time to us but we're grateful that we've never had to smell it. And while we're not curious about a Medieval pub's smell, we are curious about the cuisine. We usually assumed the food in the dark ages consisted of legs of unflavored meat. Instead, the food at this time was heavily spiced with sweet, spicy, and sour flavors. The menu consisted of wild dishes like pork pudding cooked in a cucumber or piglet stuffed with bread pudding. Basically, the best Medieval cuisine consisted of food stuffed into other types of food. Sounds pretty good to us! Now, we won't make you try a platter of lampreys but you can get those Medieval pub vibes when you're rocking this pub wench costume.Details & DesignThis Made by Us Pub Wench costume has a simple, high-quality design that you'll love wearing to your local Ren Faire! The look has a lovely top with a faux corset design and full billowy sleeves. The square neckline is trimmed with creamy ruffles for an old-fashioned look. The costume zips up the back and is finished off with an aproned brown skirt that can be tied up on one side to let you cool off as you bustle around the tavern.Tavern TalesAre you ready to hop into your new Medieval persona? You're sure to have a great time when rocking this ensemble. Pair it with boots or moccasins and a tough but cheerful yet tough attitude. Looking for Rennaisance outfits for the family? We have a huge range of styles and sizes to explore. Just remember to take plenty of pictures to document your very own fairy tale!
So you and your 300 hoplite pals are headed to The Hot Gates? Well, we don't want to spoil anything, but we can recommend that you bring along as many swords and shields as you can carry. Because there's a lady at Delphi who made it sound like your blades are going to get dull long before you run out of Persians to battle, and we doubt that Xerxes is going to let you call a time-out for some honing!A Spartan Shield and Sword combo like this is probably just the thing you're looking for. It's a tidy package that's portable and easy to store, and it won't weigh you down! At least not compared to all the other gear you'll probably be toting. Plus, that armor you're wearing is pretty revealing. For such a small army, you guys sure have some big muscles!
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!
Life as a PioneerThe pioneers were brave people. A picturesque life on the prairie included all sorts of dangers. Relentlessly hot summers gave way to brutally cold winters. People would look up from their work when and see a wall of prairie fires headed toward their farm, growing taller with each foot of grass that was consumed. Then there were the terrifying swarms of locusts that not only ate the crops but would devour the clothes and the clothes line if the laundry hadn't been brought in fast enough.So why, after all that trouble, do we remember the days of the pioneer so fondly? It was a time of hope. Those people with limited options who had only known the crowded city streets of coastal cities could find a place where they could watch the sunset and rise on an open horizon. They could build something all their own and truly be free. The communities out there were the definition of tightly knit. And how awesome would it have been to travel by covered wagon?Product DetailsWhen your daughter dresses as in this dress, she'll feel as free as that pioneer girl collecting herbs and roots on the prairie. You can almost imagine the larks singing in the grasses as she spins around in the long skirt. Whether she's starring as the charming Laura Ingalls Wilder for in the school play or the whole family is headed to a Rendezvous, this costume will make you feel sentimental for that sun-washed, simple time. One thing is for sure, it's hard not to get into character in this ensemble. Next thing you know she'll want to trade in her tablet for hoop and stick game.

If a man was a Viking, he was tough by definition. Violence was normal, he was most comfortable when forming a shield wall with his tribe. For Vikings, the world was a brutal place. The icy winds of the sea would have been whistling in the ears of the Norsemen since they were babes in the arms of their equally tough mothers. They were handling battle axes as soon as they could tottle around. With that harsh environment, it's no wonder they grew all the hair they could to protect them from the multitude of unforgiving elements, from the cold weather of the Norwegian seaside to the flying debris of the battlefield. You can't transform yourself into a Viking warrior if you ignore the epic long hair and beards of these northerners. The red locks of this wig are typical of people with Norse heritage. All you need now is one of those horned helmets and you're ready for battle. Now, shout it out with your fellow Norsemen, "Shield Wall!"
Best Curse EverThe fact that Medusa was cursed (very unfairly, in our opinion) meant that she had to leave everyone she knew behind and make a new home for herself in solitude. She found an uninhabited Mediterranean island where she made friends with a bunch of snakes and set up a small castle.Then she kicked back and enjoyed that fresh Mediterranean breeze. With some nice, fresh fish and the ability to spend her time as she wished, she was in pretty good spirits until that Perseus came along. We almost wish someone would curse us and force us to live on a private island in one of the most beautiful places on Earth!Product DetailsMaking sure you are dressed right for any occasion is very important, which is why we recommend setting yourself up right with this Women's Medusa Queen of the Gorgons Costume. The included dress is both flattering and stylish, taking all the best parts of Ancient Greek style and melding them with modern fabrics and cuts.The plunging neckline and elastic waistbands mean that you will look great and feel comfortable in this awesome costume.

An Elementary EncounterLight from the streetlamps peer out in the foggy early morning on the cobblestone streets. There's a criminal walking these streets and you're the one on the case. The first incident happened last week in the early morning hours when no one but bakers and lamplighters are up and about. It wasn't the lamplighters that were the victims of this crime, it was the bakers... or rather, the baker's bakes! After last week, freshly baked cakes have been stolen all around town. There was a chocolate cake on Lambstail Lane, missing with nothing but a few crumbs left on the tray. Then there was the browned butter pound cake on Wheller Drive and the torte on Tourtellotte. The madness has to stop and now that you're on the case, this thief is sure to face sweet justice!Details & DesignThis Made by US detective kit has a lovely herringbone pattern.

Hero of the EmpireThe Roman army is the greatest force in the known world. Its battle prowess is legendary from the heights of Cornwall all the way down to the Nile River.

Product DetailsBecome Caesar's bravest warrior while wearing this exclusive Roman Soldier Plush Helmet for Kids!

Watch out, Gaul Instead of marching on England and Ireland, why not conquer your neighborhood this Halloween? The spoils of war go to the fearless trick-or-treaters who brave creepy decorations and fake gravestones to fill their travel sacks with delicious candy. If the Romans could have tried chocolate bars, they would probably still be in power today.
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!
Alright, so you have finally been named the Child Pharaoh and are ready to begin your, hopefully, long reign over the great sands of Ancient Egypt. 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. Gold-lined robe? Check! Did you remember the serpent cane, enchanted by the mighty deity Ra… who is kind of yourself? Yessir! But… did you remember your gold-braided sandals? Mmm. Well, good thing that we’re looking out for you. With these Child Egyptian Gold Sandals, you can be sure that you are looking royally rad but also leave enough free foot space for you to curl your toes in the sand and maybe get the quick kiss from some of your servants.
You work hard, shaping the minds of young students daily. So how do you find a costume as smart and determined as you? That’s a no-brainer, especially for a major brainiac like you.

For instance, did you know that the first image of this ilk wasn’t the advertisement you now know and love, but rather a fine art painting? Isn’t history fascinating? Even that kid who normally sleeps through your lectures in the back row is bound to be riveted when you walk in wearing this costume.The blue jumpsuit features short sleeves, so you can show off your buff biceps, and the printed patch features the slogan “We Can Do It.” Slip the polka dot bandana over your updo and prepare to solve a lot of problems today, from student angst to changing your roommates’ flat tire for him. We believe in you, lady, so go out and show ‘em what you got.
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.

Completely EffortlessYou might not think it to look at him, but a member of the Regency's most fashionable set wore a lot of hats. He was usually awesome at boxing, fencing, and other sports, could toss off a whiskey or two after dinner without getting tipsy, and knew all the ins and outs of stylish flirtation. Plus, he had to do it all while wearing some seriously fancy clothes. Can you imagine wearing a white necktie and not getting sauce all over it during dinner? Yikes. Product DetailsBe the toast of your hunting club or local ballroom when you wear this Men's Regency Gentleman Costume! The outfit includes a top that's designed to look like two separate pieces, but which slides on with ease. A velvety blue dinner jacket features a pale blue vest front decorated with gold-tone buttons, and a white shirt inset finished with a snowy cravat.

Who wants to wear all of this stuff and dance in packed ballrooms during the time of no air conditioning or vending machines, right? Oh, the humanity.
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!
A fiesty first lady"Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could."Dang! Abigail Adams didn't pull any punches, did she? Actually, this fiesty first lady made a reputation for herself as one of the most eloquent figures in the early history of the United States, and that's pretty impressive when her husband, John Adams, was known as one of the best letter writers (kind of like history's bloggers) of the period. Some historians even say Abigail was a better writer than her husband, and she didn't have half the chances at a fancy education that he did. So, you go, girl!There are plenty of role models to choose from when it comes to America's First Ladies, but we think Abigail Adams is one of the best. Not only was she a staunch supporter of women's education, she also spoke out against slavery and took a keen interest in her husband's politics. In fact, because she was so politically active, some people started referring to her as "Mrs. President"! It's no wonder that you're thinking about dressing up like her for your next costume party, and we can help!Product detailsThis exclusive Plus Size Women’s Abigail Adams Costume is sure to be a hit, whether you’re going to an inauguration or just a costume party. The red, long-sleeved pullover dress is 100 percent polyester, with a zipper down the back center for easy wear. The collar and sleeve cuffs are trimmed with lace, while there is elastic in the waist for a cinched look. Take it from us, girl: You will be the most fashionable belle at the regency ball!Good evening, Mrs. PresidentShow off your patriotic side and wow the crowd at your next costume party with this costume. We promise that if there's a vote for best costume, you'll win by a landslide!
Is your child finally ready to join the raiding party? Is he ready to charge into battle, like the brave little Viking warrior that he is? Are you ready to put a little battle axe in his hands and send him into battle? Well, cool your jets there! Before you can send your little marauder off into the world of combat, you might want to equip him with the right look. He needs some armor, specifically a helmet and no ordinary helmet will do! Yes, he needs a majestic looking helm with horns and plenty of fur. That ought to scare his enemies on the battlefield. He needs this horned Viking helmet!This kids Viking helmet might not be entirely historically accurate, since our history experts tell us that Vikings didn’t wear horns on their heads. They also tell us that their helmets were made out of heavy metals. Ours is made out of foam, which is much easier to lug around than metal and the stuffed horns are made out of soft material, so no animals were harmed in the making of this helmet. So really, this helmet is much better than the actual Viking helmets from the days of old!
Lightning: A Way of LifeWouldn’t life be easier if you could just solve all of your problems with lightning bolts? Rush hour traffic in your way? Just shoot a lightning bolt at those cars. House centipede crawling around in the basement? Hit it with a lightning bolt. Your phone ran out of juice? Give it a good zap with your lightning bolt. Microwave on the fritz? Just blast your frozen dinner with a lightning bolt!That’s how Zeus lives, every single day. He’s the head honcho of the pantheon of Greek gods. He doesn’t need to mess around with any half-measures and pointless dialogue to solve all of life's troubles. He just shoots a darn lightning bolt at them and all of his problems go away. What a life! Us mere mortals need to live a much more complicated life, but perhaps you can get a small taste of what it’s like to be Zeus by wearing this exclusive costume.Design & DetailsBased on the mighty Greek god, this men’s Zeus costume makes you look like an all-powerful deity. The white tunic top is reminiscent of the garb worn by ancient Greeks. It even has gold accents along the bottom for a truly regal look. The belt has gold designs on it and matches the gold accents on the tunic. The drape is a shimmering gold color and can be tucked into the belt. A pair of gold gauntlets fit around the wrists, but the true coup de grace of this outfit is the crown, which will sit atop your head to make you feel like the king of all Greek gods!Lightning Doesn't Solve Every ProblemThis Zeus costume won’t actually give you the power to shoot lightning bolts at your problems. It will, however, help you feel like one mighty being. Just make sure you behave while wearing this outfit. Queen Hera will have her eye on you! Her wrath is one problem that even Zeus' lightning bolts can't solve.
Stone Cold LegendMedusa gets a bad rap. Yes, her head of snakes turns men into stone with one look. But can we revisit why she kept on running into guys again? She wasn't hunting down innocent men in bookstores. Imagine her laughing after she pulled a "Made you look" and left a clutch of bookish granite statues behind. That's a pretty funny image, but it wasn't her style. She tried to stay far, far away from all humanity. Those Greek soldiers just couldn't leave a cursed demi-goddess alone when she created a challenge fit for a hero. So, yeah. There were casualties. But we would argue that if you go hunting for a head of snakes, you shouldn't go crying blaming a demi-goddess when you turn into a blob of rock!Design & DetailsWear your crown of snakes with pride when you slip on this Medusa headband. The snakes are adjustable with a shiny scale pattern on the surface. The gold eyes and forked tongues will make your hairdo look like a living legend. Want to fully transform into your Medusa form? Pair this snake headband with one of our elegant Greek or Roman goddess costumes to bring this ancient myth to life!
