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!

All us short folks in the world understand exactly how that feels. We’re always overcompensating for not quite attaining that perfect 6’1” Adonis look that maybe we’ve aimed for.

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!
The Power of the Ancient WorldJulius Caesar. Marc Antony. These names resonate with action and might - but not more so than their larger-than-life contemporary, the legendary Egyptian queen Cleopatra! Their fellow ruler had a knack for thinking outside the box, setting up successful espionage, and mowing down any obstacle in her way. Also, it can't be denied that she had way better style than either of those two Roman guys. There's just no comparison between a boring white toga and a sensual, draping gown with golden details and jewels. Product DetailsBecome the original boss babe when you wear this exclusive Queen Cleopatra Costume for Women! The pullover sleeveless dress's bodice is made of shimmery gold-tone faux linen fabric with a V neckline and flattering ruching. The same metallic knit drapes over both hips and parts in the middle to reveal the opaque green and gold metallic knit skirt. A golden faux leather belt fastens around the waist, and its front drape is printed with hieroglyphics. The gown comes with a metallic knit cape that is decorated with a gold faux leather collar. The glorious final touch is the golden faux leather headband. Make Way for Royalty Bow down to the queen! Wearing a costume this amazing may make you feel like indulging your royal side: Go for it! Sail down the Nile on a gilded barge, stock up on delicious figs and grapes, and maybe start an international incident or two. Cleopatra would certainly approve. The only things you should probably avoid are snakes. They're bad news.
The Vikings were known for grit, fearlessness, and exploration; they were not known for having skilled barbers or hairdressers. So as a result, they sometimes looked a bit shaggy. Men braided their beards to keep them tidy. But it turns out that the shaggy, unkempt look was a good thing, because it made their warriors look really fierce when they faced their enemies! Now, we have modern technology and tools to keep ourselves looking neat and clean. Can you imagine showing up for your Monday morning All Hands meeting with beard braids? (Actually, that could be kind of fun!) Lucky for you, you can get that ideal Viking look for your costume without depriving your barber of income when you wear this Blonde Viking Wig, Beard and Mustache. It looks wild and ready to set sail on an adventure beneath a horned helmet for Halloween!
Hail, Caesar!Most Romans wore white togas. 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. You need something with a fiery attitude and perhaps a bold color that transcends white! You need something that will inspire the masses to call out your name, like a modern-day Julius Caesar! How about red?Yes, we think a rich red color is the perfect color to get you in the ruling mood and our expert costume designers have crafted this Plus Size Roman Toga Costume will give you an elegant and regal look to help you step into the role of emperor!Design & DetailsThis Made by Us really captures the look and feel of ancient Roman attire! It starts with a bright red, plus size tunic that has printed gold foil patterning along the sleeves. The toga is a cream color and fits over one shoulder for a classic style. The belt is made out of rope and fits around your waist to adjust the fit. To finish the whole look off, the costume comes with a leaf crown that fits with an elastic band around the forehead. It all combines for look that's worthy of a modern-day Caesar!Watch Your BackIf you're looking for a classic look, or if you just want to take your toga party style to the next level, then this men's Plus Size Roman Toga is perfect for you. You might want to add one of our Roman swords to your outfit though... word on the street is that Julius Caesar has made a TON of enemies.
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!"
thunderstruckWe don't know a lot about Greek mythology -- but what little we know, we're sure about. There’s just one trait that separates the all-mighty Zeus from any normie graybeard with a gym membership: the ability to smite whomever and whatever he wants when he wants. That's not a lot, actually. So if you want to be nearly the same as the chief god in the Greek pantheon, all you have to do is spend the next few centuries working on your godlike physique!Or, if the whole lightning thing is that important to you, why not try this formidable costume combo? It comes with most of the things you need to look like the flashiest deity in all of classical mythology.product detailsBased on the mighty Greek god, our exclusive Kids 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!feel the powerEnjoy your newfound power, young one, but we beg you not to abuse it! Of course, we hope you’ll always smile down benevolently upon your humble servants here.

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.

Why can’t the post-apocalyptic world have anything nice? It’s always full of weirdos, biker gangs and cannibals… or at least that’s what every post-apocalyptic movie we’ve ever seen has taught us. Isn’t there some kind of future where the toxic waste hasn’t transformed half the population into blood-thirsty mutants? Isn’t there some version of humanity’s future that leads to rainbows, sunshine and everyone singing a spirited rendition of Kumbaya in a peaceful circle?Bah, who are we kidding? That kind of future would make for one snooze-fest of a movie! If the world is going to head to hell in a hand basket, you may as well look like a tough as nails kind of hero who eats deadly wasteland mutants for breakfast! That’s why if you plan on roleplaying as an apocalypse commando, you should be wearing this Wasteland Warrior costume.This men’s costume takes its inspiration from the many dystopian movie depictions of tough anti-hero types. It comes with a shirt that looks battle weathered, along with a belt. (You can never have enough belts when you’re wandering through the barren lands.)

Once you’ve gotten yourself all geared up in this rugged costume, you may just feel like doing battle with some bandits to assert your supremacy. After all, it’s survival of the fittest out there!
Follow the Drinking Gourd“I had reasoned this out in my mind, there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other.” -Harriet TubmanEveryone 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?

The kingdom is in danger.First there was the goblin problem. Now there are pirates threatening the coast, trolls at the bridges, an evil wizard or two, and of course, the dragon.Not just any guardsman can take on these evil forces. Our warrior must be trained in combat, handy with swords, shields, daggers and spears. They must be light on their feet, fit, and wise to deal with such evil invading the kingdom. We'll definitely need a knight. Becoming a knight is an arduous process. A knight starts as a page, works up to squire, and finally, after years of training and shadowing, they earn the mantle of knight. They are the best warriors our kingdom has to offer.But we don't really have time for the whole 'training" thing (sounds like that dragon is getting hungry now (not to mention the trolls and pirates). Is your kid up to the task of defeating evil? Are they agile and swift? Smart and cunning? Do they have some mad sword skills? If so, our kingdom could use their help. Just deck them out in the proper armor: our Child Black Knight Costume. It's a black tunic printed with a shield, a mesh hood and sleeves, with a faux leather belt and gloves. Once they have the outfit, they'll need a weapon. Once they find that, they have our full blessing to go take on the dragon... if they're up for it.
We can’t all be Caesar! Well, wait a second… maybe we can. With a Gold Caesar Circlet, it’s pretty easy to at least feel like a Roman Emperor. Hopefully you’ll run more toward the Augustus side than Caligula or Nero, but hey, we hear they threw great parties! If you can’t tell, it’s not a bracelet (unless you’re the Hulk). No, this circlet is a golden crown, meant to resemble a laurel wreath which symbolized victory in war to the ancient Romans.You can be a Roman general returning in triumph after a battle in Gaul or Asia Minor, a gladiator who’s won his freedom at the Colosseum, or an early Olympic athlete in this Gold Caesar Circlet. It’s a perfect accessory for any Greek- or Roman-style costume, or a decadent addition to any look really. We can certainly imagine Kanye wearing it with red leather or oversized sweats more than a toga. If you have the ego of an emperor, this Gold Caesar Circlet will communicate it to the world for you so you don’t have to be so commanding.
Have you ever wanted to be the President of the United States? It is a thought that many of us have had from time to time and one that, certainly, our parents have considered for us as they proclaim that we had the ability to become anything that we set our minds towards. The Presidency seems to always be that highest pinnacle, the crowning achievement. Then again, some can look at high public offices and wince a bit, pointing at a number that have left a number of us wanting and a few others aghast as we’re trying to figure how they managed any votes! And, even if you think you can handle the job, campaigning is such a pain in the rear.But, there are much easier ways to become the President without having to run around the whole country, talking yourself up and kissing every baby until you’ve managed to win enough votes—and we’re not talking about voter fraud, either! You can just transform yourself into a President that everyone already recognizes with this Ronald Reagan mask. Transmogrify with this full molded latex mask and get ready to yell “Reagan Smash!” as you topple your opponents as one of the most heavy hitting Presidents of them all. But, a warning: remember that Reagan masks usually have a different meaning when you go to banks, so we don’t recommend that.
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.
THAT 'JUST WOKE UP' LOOKIt can be pretty tough to manufacture a carefree hairstyle. You've got to wake up pretty early to get the right tease to the hair. Just enough curl and frizz but not so much that folks can see the effort that you've put into it.

And, looking fantastic while moving the moment forward only helped to change the tides of history!Naturally, his tasks and words are by far the greater force of Frederick Douglass' memory, but none can deny that the wise, aged look of the African American writer, poet, orator, activist, and preacher help to keep him at the forefront of history even today.Product DetailsChannel the look of the early American boat-rocker with this Frederick Douglass Wig and Goatee set.

Something for Everyone Do you love tragic romances? Strong heroines? Daring swordfights and battles, scheming villains with epic monologues, and fantastical fairy creatures?

(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.

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!
Quoth the Raven, 'Some Coiffure!' Once upon a Halloweeny, while we gandered weak and weary, at our hairstyle (sad and dreary) upon the mirror of our door, there we wondered a simple query, one that got us rather cheery: "Could we make our hair do more!?" The first step was to get out of that rhythmic pattern of Edgar Allan Poe's spectacular style. It's pretty tough coming up with stellar looks while you're stuck in the mindset of a haunting song. It did, however, give us some solid inspiration for ways to help you access your inner poet. Don't scratch your noggin all night trying to figure out the next stanza of your epic poem when you can transform into the epic writer in a snap!

The Maddest InventionDeep underground, a scientist works feverishly towards her goal. If she doesn't have this ready by morning, the local authorities will be able to shut down her lab. She mixes frantically, muttering instructions and cackling to herself. The final beaker tips into the pot, and there is a searing flash of light. The chemical is ready!

For a costume, though, these will add the perfect final touch.
The littlest command-in-chiefDoes your child dream about someday becoming president? Do they enjoy presiding over a Congress of stuffed animals or writing up their very own executive orders in crayon? Do they craft treaties with foreign governments (or maybe just their friends at school)? Do they constantly talk about balancing the federal budget, creating new federal agencies or appointing Supreme Court justices?We think it’s wonderful that your little politician wants to take on the biggest office in the world. But we’re sure you’re thinking about how difficult it will be for them to wait all the way until they’re 35 and legally allowed to run for the position. We suppose they could try to make a fake ID, but voters might get suspicious when they realize their candidate hasn’t lost all their baby teeth yet!Product detailsWe can’t give your kid a growth serum to age them quickly enough to run in next year’s primaries, but we can give them the next best thing: this Kid’s President Abe Lincoln Costume. After all, if they want to be president, they should go for it and become one of the best presidents our country has ever known! The costume comes with a 100 percent polyester wool-like coat with attached vest, which features buttons down the center. There’s also a satin bowtie with an elastic band to secure around their collar. Of course, of all the things Abraham Lincoln is famous for, we know the best thing is his famous top hat, so this costume comes with one of those, too! The impressively tall top hat features a black satin ribbon and is one size fits most. (Pants and shirt aren’t included, so make sure your kid adds a pair before swearing in!)Hail to the chief!Now your little politician can look and feel the part of a president with this exclusive costume. That’s a lot easier (and cheaper!) than securing a national ticket and actually running for office. We think that’s a win-win!
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!
Ready for the Tourney The duty of a squire is to ensure that their knight is always prepared for anything that they need. That means securing their armor when they are setting out, shining up their horse's shoes after a long day's work, and making sure that their weapons are always at the ready. Between all of the tournaments that a knight competes in and the occasional evil knight that they have to confront, it is critical that everything is ready to go. So, let us be your squire and get you ready to claim victory!Design & DetailsThe first step is making sure that you're ready to hoist this Medieval Lance. Our Made by Us team put this together in-house from molded plastic pieces that easily fit together into a 50" toy weapon. Painted to look like aged bronze, it is a perfect fit whether you're a knight in shining armor or you'd like to take a lesson from us and squire yourself up for a Renaissance Faire! Lancing a LotMake sure that you're ready for anything by equipping a true knight's weapon. Whether you're horseback or striding down the Rennaisance grounds, this Medieval Lance is just the thing to bring your look together. (Though maybe you should avoid any genuine jousting.)
He's big. He's burly. He's ready to raid, ready to roll, ready to bring home stacks on stacks of gold. He's ready to set those sails, blow on his horn, and battle side by side with his fellow berserkers for eternal glory in the halls of Valhalla. But... does he have the right threads to pull it off?You can achieve the look of a serious Viking boss man when you go in this exclusive Nordic Viking costume! It's made and designed by us right here at HalloweenCostumes.com, and you can bet your favorite battleaxe that we dug our noses into the history books to get this look right. The only question is, do you think you have what it takes to join the horde?The details and craftsmanship on this plus size costume are sure to give you the confidence you need to jump in a long boat and set sail towards glory. A tunic, pants, and cape combination make this an easy costume to assemble, and equally easy to wear if you picture yourself in a plundering spree or just sitting back and enjoying the festivities in the great hall. A heavy "woven" faux leather panel is attached to the pullover tunic, to make it look like you are seriously armored up. Faux fur trim on the cape, gauntlet and boot tops are sure to give you that Nordic warrior cred, and whether you add a fearsome mask or you want to make sure your opponents can see the whites of your eyes on the battlefield, you're going to have a top notch look with this ensemble. Fulfill your Viking destiny with this exclusive costume, and we're sure there's going to be a spot saved for you right next to Odin at the big table...
So you think you're interested in joining the knight's watch? Well, this isn't a game, boy! Here are a few things you should know:1.Becoming a knight typically takes about fourteen years, seven years as a page and seven as a squire. (But you can become a knight a click of a button).2.Knights jousted at sixty miles per hour (you'd definitely want a helmet for that!).3.Full Plate Armour weighs about fifty pounds (ours is plastic, and weighs much less). Is that enough of a pitch for ya? We have to think that this helmet accessory is the perfect way to complete your medieval costume. Just remember: it's a prop. So you don't actually want to go hopping into battle. But for all other costume purposes? Yup, this knight helmet hat is the ticket!
Ever been on a plane? Back before the days of in-flight movies and fasten seatbelt signs, courageous men and women like Amelia Earhart dedicated their lives to realizing the possibilities of powered flight. If they hadn't taken to the skies, the idea of using airplanes for widespread transportation might never have gotten off the ground. So it makes perfect sense that you'd want to pay tribute by wearing one of these great-looking flyer's outfits!This Child Amelia Earhart Costume looks like it came straight out of the history books. The top is modeled on a leather bomber jacket from the 1930s, and the goggles and headpiece are reminiscent of gear worn by pioneering aviators like Ms. Earhart herself. Light brown breeches and a scarf round out the attire. We only regret that we can't include a bright red Lockheed Vega like the one she used for several of her most impressive flights, including her solo crossing of the Atlantic Ocean!As you probably know, Amelia Earhart's attempt at becoming the first woman to fly around the world ended with her tragic disappearance. But even though her life's work was cut short, she left behind an amazing legacy of courage and innovation that should continue to inspire generations to come. It just takes people like you to remind everyone what the true spirit of exploration looks like.So suit up, give those propellers a spin, and get ready to break some records!
What we do in life... echoes in eternity.So says General Maximus at the beginning of the classic Ridley Scott film, Gladiator. While that is some expertly written and memorable dialogue, we hope it's also a true statement. But we have no idea! What do we look like, metaphysicists?? We don't know what happens in eternity! But if our life echoes within it, we're glad you're taking a look at this officially licensed General Maximus costume, because it's epic enough to wear forever.The only thing we'd advise against is getting into any actual Roman battles wearing this thing. It's made of latex and not metal as it appears. That being said, you could probably frighten some barbarians with it, but we don't really recommend that either. That would require a costly trip to Germany, and also a time machine to around 180AD. That's also where you'd have to go to get the real version of this armor. Since that technology doesn't exist, we think our version is an amazing first realistic choice!Since this costume has incredible details and quality (How about that realistic armor and fur trimmed cape? It's straight out of the movie!) we think you should go to a party, wait for the exact right moment, then step up into the spotlight and give an incredible, awe-inspiring speech to all your fellow party-goers. That's what Maximus would do! You'll be remembered in poetry and song as the greatest general Rome had ever seen... to give a rousing speech while holding a red Solo cup."Brothers! What we drink tonight... will echo in our bodies tomorrow, and possibly eternity!"*drink responsibly
Ren-Faire Wardrobe"Oh, Fair Maiden, would thou do'ith thy honor of accompanying thee to yonder tavern for a flagon of ale and a veritable bounty of nachos?"If that sounds like the perfect way for someone to ask you on a date (and if you understood what it meant), then the Renaissance Faire is definitely your kind of festival! The best way to experience a Ren Faire is to show up wearing historical costumes, and when you're donning this elegant Plus Size Renaissance Lady Costume, all the knights and lords will be scrambling to take you out!There are so many classic renaissance styles to enjoy while at the fest, like a salty tavern woman, or a humble peasant, or even an elaborate baroness outfit, if you're feeling extra luxurious. What makes this lovely gown the best look of all is that you can be whatever type of lady you'd like in it! You can be a well-to-do maiden in this royal-looking dress, but if trouble arises, you can take up a sword and fight to defend your honor. You could even stop by the tavern and enjoy a couple of rounds with the other festival-goers, and your fancy style would fit right in!Product DetailsThis lovely purple velvet and gold lace gown gives you a regal look that goes well with any accessories you choose. Whether you add an elegant tiara and slippers, or a fierce sword and boots, any way you want to enjoy the faire will be a memorable experience! And, if you do happen to accompany a lordly gentleman to the tavern, make sure he doesn't try to stick you with "thy check"...
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!
We like to follow the theory that the Victorian Industrial Revolution somehow split off into two different worlds. There's the world that turned into what we live in and there is one that turns into the world of steampunk. We dream of going there because who wouldn't want to become an adventurer in that gear freak world of a science fiction old fashion? Every once in a while we decide to dress up like we were there (usually on Wednesdays). Now we'd like to expand the tradition. Add an elegant touch to your Halloween costume with this Women's Cameo Steampunk Set complete with a choker adorned with white lace and earrings. This will be sure to identify you immediately as true steampunk aristocracy. If you feel like going back in time instead of forward, this set would also be great for a traditional costume of the time period that inspires the mystical world of whimsy.
Going for a presidential look this year? Well, you'll get our vote! It looks like you're going to need a new fancy suit, an American flag pin on your lapel, and then, of course, this President Obama Mask!

Once you throw this Barack mask on you'll be welcomed into the oval office with open arms! If you're ready to look like the Commander and Chief who fought fiercely for our country from 2009 to 2017 then throw on this President Obama Mask. You'll instantly become the change you want to see for our great nation, as well as a beacon of hope to many. Just start practicing your Barack Obama impersonation and maybe you'll be convincing enough to gain the confidence of the Secret Service!
What makes a knight truly evil? Well, there are a lot of things he can do. An evil knight doesn’t rescue fair maidens from vile dragons. Instead he rescues vile maidens from fair dragons. It’s a lot easier to do, and a lot more rewarding too, if you catch our drift. When an evil knight goes to the local tavern, he never tips the ale wench more than 10%. And do you know those people who take steaks from the meat department and leave them in unrefrigerated areas at the grocery store? They’re evil knights, all of them. We know so.But you can’t be an evil knight without looking the part. We’re talking black-on-black clothing, hooded robes, and skulls on everything.Also, evil knights never wear white before labor day. We personally think that last part is going to far, but we don’t want to say anything because we’re thoroughly happy not being impaled by six foot long claymores.If you’re looking for a totally metal costume, something that really says “none shall pass,” then you’ve come to the right place. Our Evil Knight Costume has the tunic, gloves, cape, and belt you need to let do-gooders know their days are numbered. So pledge your allegiance to a dark wizard, a netherworld demon, or just your plain old nasty self and get out there and start terrorizing the land!
Run Away and Join the Cirque-usWhen you were little, you dreamed of flying through the air on a trapeze, living out of a caravan, traveling the country by train, and maybe riding an elephant or two.

The lining has an adjustable size band, as well!

Round Table ReadyIf you went on a quest, what do you think it would be? There are the classic quests, of course. The ones where you're sent off to rescue a maiden from a high tower or find the spring of eternal youth. But that maiden can save herself, she'll probably befriend her dragon captor and ride on out of there.

To the Tavern!Back in a more civilized era of bar-hopping... when bars weren't called "bars" but taverns and inns, and they were filled with the sounds of mirthful merry-making and slurred folk songs as opposed to deafening EDM beats... men dressed just like this fine fellow you see above. They wore fine velvet tunics and doublets, billowy long-sleeved shirts, and comfortable but handsome breeches (that's renaissance-speak for pants).

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. Our in-house design team was inspired by illustrations and assumptions about this historic villain and now you can step into the whole ensemble. Wear your own shirt and trousers and give yourself a Victorian spin with the printed satin vest, complete with a crushed velvet collar. The jacquard cravat keeps you looking elegant while the long black jacket will give everyone the eerie feeling of turn-of-the-century London. 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!
If you’re painting your caveOr inventing fireYou want that blonde hairWhich all cavemen admireWhether gathering by dayOr hunting by nightEveryone lovesA well-coiffed troglodyte-Prehistoric caveman poemWe have studied every fossil and ancient cave painting we could find in order to bring the most accurate replica of the typical caveman hairdo directly to you. It turns out that cavemen most commonly had neatly parted, tidily styled, bright blonde hair. Who knew?If you’re going primal this year then you can’t do without our Deluxe Caveman Neighbor Wig. It is made from durable synthetic hair. We tried to get the real thing, but last year all of our interns got badly clubbed when we made them shave actual cavemen. This comfortable wig fits comfortably thanks to its secure mesh cap.
A KNIGHT OF WHICH REALM?Just because a martial fighter wears a set of armor doesn't mean that anyone knows anything for sure about them. Without a set of pretty clear heraldry, they could be anybody. And, especially if they pull the helm over their head? Well, then you've got practically zero chance. How else do you think that the lady warriors, lowborn fighters, and royal heirs alike prove themselves in jousts only to reveal their face amidst the gasps of the crowd!?Knights come in all types from the armored assassin, chivalric rider, dragon hunter, or royally anointed ser. But which will you be? Are you part of an order of proud paladins who face down darkness at every turn? Maybe one of those round table knights of Camelot legend! Perhaps you'll be a lone ronin with a tragic and complicated backstory that so few of the monsters you face are willing to wait and listen to... (Or are you just hunting for a shrubbery?)DESIGN & DETAILSNo matter which tale you hold in your heart, you must gird your form with proud armor! Our own smiths suffered apprenticeships with Wayland the Weird, himself, just to ensure that this high-quality and shiny armor would meet your mettle with this Royal Knight Costume. Begin with a tunic of silver mesh worn under a complete set of shiny foam-backed plates that cover your torso, hips, and collar. The matching leg covers fit with elastic while the gloves and helmet finish your knightly armor. Complete the look with your foam pauldrons and the attached red cape and you might not even need your sword and horse! (Who are we kidding? You'll want a sword. The horse might be more difficult to get into the adventuring party.)WHAT'S YOUR KNIGHTLY NAME?Once you've got your flawless knight style and backstory figured out, you will need your name! What title (and how many of them you have) is almost as important as which vicious beasts you've beaten. We recommend something like Ser Belvedere of the Grand Lochs, Champion of the Crusade, Beater of Beasts, and Taker of Names.
Dauphin DudsMany know Louis the 16th as one of the most famous of the French kings. In fact, he was the last king of France! The details around the end of his monarchy aren't particularly fun to recall but many forget that it started at a pretty young age. He was never expected to become the king since he was the second born. That let him focus on learning everything from Latin to astronomy. But to everyone's surprise, fate set him on the road to becoming the king when he was only eleven! That meant it was time to really freshen up his style and get his noble brow ready for the crown. Design & Details If you've got a little prince of your own who is destined for glory, this Louis XVI costume for kids is just the thing to get them ready. This is a Made By Us ensemble put together by our own court of in-house designers. The costume begins with a light jacket with golden trim and capris pants with an elastic waist. The gold vest has rich-looking faux buttons and the jabot is made of puffy chiffon that fastens with hook and loops around the neck. That's really all you'll need for your kiddo to feel kingly, but you can add a pomp wig or royal accessories to make any monarch magnificent!
