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.
A Warrior's Wardrobe Being a Viking means embracing a rough and rugged existence. You've got your usual daily tasks of hunting, butchering, and smoking meats, storing up firewood for winter, curing cheeses - you know, all the stuff you need to do to avoid starving or freezing to death - plus, you have to raid and pillage your neighboring countries before they raid and pillage you. Your garb for all of these activities has to be functional and warm, but that doesn't mean that it can't be stylish, too!

Why should you try to hide your greatness? The ancient Pharaohs from Egypt never tried to conceal just how awesome they were! They build giant monuments to themselves during their rule and enormous pyramids to house their bodies after death. They wore some luxurious jewelry and plenty of gold and shiny stones. Truly, they were the original ballers of the world! It’s about time that you followed the footsteps of the most lavish kings to ever rule the ancient world. It’s time for this All Powerful Pharaoh costume for men.Our costume designers pulled out all the stops on this high quality outfit! This men’s Egyptian style costume brings you the look of an ancient king, complete with a black bodysuit, belt and wrap. The pieces have shimmering gold accents to give you a regal look that will make any subject feel your awesome might. The belt even has golden hieroglyphics on it for added effect. Of course, no pharaoh costume would be complete without some great accessories, so this one comes with a cape, some gold armbands and a luxurious headpiece that looks like something that King Tut would wear. What else could a king ask for (except complete and total subservience from his servants)?So, don’t hide away! Stand tall and proudly proclaim your birthright to the throne… or at the very least have a really magnificent time dressing like an ancient king. When you wear this costume, you can choose any of the great Egyptian Pharaohs. We suggest you go as Ramesses the Great, because he’s a total boss.
Four score!"Four score and seven minutes ago, kiddos brought forth to this playground, a dodgeball game, dedicated to the proposition that all tykes can compete equally. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that dodgeball game can long endure if the upper grades keep snatching away the balls. We have come together to dedicate a portion of this recess period to the dodgeball game because it is awesome. It is altogether super sweet that we should do this."Whoa. Gave you chills, didn't it? We're not saying that young Abraham Lincoln strolled out onto the recess fields and uttered these words to his schoolmates, but imagine if he had. It would have been the most inspiring game of dodgeball ever. The majestic fields filled with fallen heroes who couldn't duck out of the way fast enough when the ball was hurled at them, and the proud heroes who still stood after catching the ball that flew their way.Now just imagine that kind of inspiration today with your own little aspiring Abraham Lincoln. Whether it's filling up a Halloween bucket with candy or wowing the crowds at a school play, this Boys Abraham Lincoln Costume fits the look with plenty of presidential goodness. It's a costume that's good enough for Mount Rushmore!Design and DetailsThis classic Abraham Lincoln costume comes with a Jacket/vest combo, bow tie, and the tall black stovepipe hat. The 100% interlock knit polyester fabric holds up well in any surroundings, and has sewn-in black vest pockets just in case he needs to carry a speech with him! You'll need his own black pants to complete the style, and a beard to replicate President Lincoln's iconic style (sold separartely.) Pro tip: this costume ensemble works great for other historical figures, too, check out the second picture to see our model depicted as Frederick Douglass!
Even though our professional training is in making Halloween costumes, we have an amateur's enthusiasm for a lot of different occupations. So the part of us that likes to read biographies and volunteer at the local historical society was really psyched about this regal Toddler Knight Costume! Unfortunately, their museum doesn't have any displays about the age of chivalry, since the head-to-toe chain mail fad never quite made it to this part of the world. But we're still really excited, so we thought we'd take a shot at giving this outfit some brief historical context. Ahem:About a thousand years ago, people were so good at putting pointy pieces of metal on the end of sticks, they didn't think there was any room for improvement. But along came a clever (and kind of crazy) blacksmith who realized that linking a bunch of little metal loops together was a really great way to stop pointy pieces of metal from getting to the squishy parts of a person! Everybody who had a suit of this new kind of armor became very popular. In fact, the inhabitants of each village and hamlet handed out candy to these glittering guardians, hoping that they'd stick around for a while. That gave rise to knights, a class of armor-wearers for hire, who went from town to town collecting treats for a living! And sometimes they wore crowns for fun (and dramatic effect).In that proud tradition we humbly offer this detailed outfit, so that anyone can reap the sweet rewards that come from dressing up in a shiny coat of mail! The end!
Fashion on the MountGods and goddesses on Mount Olympus are always well dressed. Fine linens, laurel leaves dipped in gold, and so many wrap arm bands. It makes sense that deities would want to look fabulous. They're always making questionable choices so they have to look good to really get away with it. Look at Zeus. He tricked his first wife into turning into a fly and ate her. Yeah. Messed up, right? If you're going to fess up to something like that, you've gotta be one of Olympus's best dressed.

Be the first to do something awesome. Amelia would want it that way!
Olympus's Next Top GoddessAll those stories we heard about the gods and goddesses of Greece and Rome are out of date. Like a hundred seasons out of date. The social ladder in those high altitude mountains is always changing. And lucky enough, we've finally gotten a camera crew up there to put together the first immortal reality show! When we dropped in on the celestial palace Zeus had finally split up from Hera to retire and run a vineyard with Dionysus. Good timing because we got to watch the struggle for power unravel before us. Folks assumed that Hera would run the show but other folks threw their laurel crowns in the ring. Aphrodite had a lot of support from gods and men alike. Apollo got plenty of screen time with his entertaining speeches and musical interludes. And then there was Mercury. This trickster god had been sending messages back and forth through the ages, meaning he's got the inside scoop behind each and every candidate. We'd call that an extreme political advantage! Are you ready to join the drama? This golden goddess look will have you feeling camera ready in no time!Product Details & DesignThis Made-By-Us look is a unique blend of toga and wrap dress. No fiddling with drapery required, our in-house designers made sure of that! The lightweight fabric is trimmed with a Grecian inspired pattern along the hem of the dress and the cape. The ensemble is polished with a leaf-patterned belt, geometric bracelets, and feathered combs for your hair. Simply strap on your sandals and you'll be ready to make your Olympus debut!Immortal IdolsIt's not hard to make an entrance when you're an immortal. Make it even more epic when you pair up with the other gods and goddesses from the legends. After all, there's nothing like a little deity drama to make any party unforgettable!
Queen GoalsYour gal is looking to reign the roost. She's getting older and practicing her leadership skills, like negotiation, hard work, and even managing her own homework. She's come a long way and is such a great big sister. She shows a ton of promise as a benevolent ruler. But still, maybe you aren't quite ready to hand over the keys to your kingdom just yet. That's OK! Your little one can still be a queen. Just not a queen of your house.This Girl's Egyptian Queen Costume is totally cool, and it will give your child her own historical empire to rule.

It's a floor-length, sleeveless dress that pulls over her head, with a sheer mesh panel at the bottom decorated with glittering Egyptian symbols.

The faux gems that accent the dress neckline are truly fit for a queen—your queen, in fact! Golden RulerNow that she's got the outfit, your gal will need to perfect her queenly behavior. Good thing she's already such an astute leader. Remind her to be kind, generous, and to share her Halloween candy with her little brother, like any good ruler!
History Come to LifeYour kiddo has done all the research, written the required 3-page report, and are making plans to become a living statue. Don't worry, it's just for history class. They're very dedicated though and want to make sure they look just like their chosen historical figure, Betsy Ross.Part of your child's research revealed just how a 19th-century woman dressed, which is very helpful. It's also made the idea of getting them ready for their final presentation a little daunting. Bonnets, bustles, petticoats, and worst of all corsets were standard issue for women in the Victorian era Betsy knew. None of these items exist, even deep, deep, inside your closet. Keep the worries away though. We've got just the thing to get her ready to become the one and only Betsy Ross.Design & DetailsIt'll be like Betsy Ross walked straight out of the 1800s and into your home when your kiddo is wearing this exclusive Girls Betsy Ross Costume. The Made by Us costume makes it easy to get an authentic look with just a dress and a couple, included accessories. A vintage patterned fabric gives this dress a historic feel without the need for a corset or even a petticoat for volume.

And to make sure no one misses which US history figure is visiting, we've included a replica of Betsy's American flag to proudly display, too!Victorian Made EasyBetsy Ross is known for creating the first American flag, but many forget she was a professional seamstress.

We believe Betsy would be proud of this (much simpler) Victorian ensemble, but we know your kiddo will love the way they look with it on!
Don't Take Any Wooden TeethGeorge Washington is famous for telling the truth. Funny, since there are many false myths about this founding father. First off, let's get this straight. President Washington did not have dentures made of wooden teeth. If you think about this, we should have known. Of course, he didn't use wooden teeth. He was a well-dressed, high ranking member of society even before he was president. Can you imagine how uncomfortable wooden teeth would be? No matter how well-varnished those dentures were, they'd get splintery within weeks! We're sure George Washington wouldn't mind if that rumor ended once and for all. The first president of the United States also didn't chop down a cherry tree or ask Betsy Ross to design the first American flag. But to be honest, those myths are a lot less disgusting than the wooden denture story, so we'll let those slide for now. Design & DetailsThis bright blue and yellow General George Washington uniform is Made By Us, which means it was designed by our in-house creative team. The costume includes a blue jacket with an attached cream-colored vest with gold trim and buttons. It's completed with a simple cravat slips around your neck, a tricorn hat, and boot covers that slip over your shoes and attach with an elastic band. Add on a George Washington wig and light-colored pants to bring this historic forefather to life!Crossing the DelewareAre you ready to become the legendary first president of the United States? This historical costume is a great look for historical events at schools and festivals, Fourth of July parades, and even Halloween parties! Since it's Made By Us, the high-quality costume will be a look that you can break out again and again. Just remember to set the record about your dentures straight, once and for all!
Your Hour of PowerIt seems like there was a god or goddess for everything back in the day. Romans and Greeks had goddesses that made sure that plants and gardens were healthy. They believed in a messenger goddess that would paint rainbows in the sky. and let's never forget the handful of goddesses and gods that were involved in hunting and warfare. If you were a Greek Goddess, what would be your area of expertise? Would you be the goddess of inspiring women to seek passive-aggressive yet genius revenge on cheating exes? Maybe you'd be the guardian of Friday nights, inspiring young couples to go on an adventurous bike ride rather than zoning out in front of the tv for the sixth night in a row. Now that we're writing this, we need those old-school gods and goddesses in our modern era! Take the reigns with this gorgeous exclusively designed Grecian gown.

Slither into characterThere are a lot of wonderful goddesses in the Greek canon. There's the goddess of the hearth, the goddess of love, the goddess of the hunt. But here's the thing, a lot of these goddesses have some serious issues. Jealousy is a major player in many of the stories. Take Medusa, for instance, totally innocent in her story, a goddess curses her with snakes for hair after she catches the goddess's husband's eye. Not cool. But in the end, who's more famous. That goddess or the once-unknown Medusa? Well, some people might be able to think of the goddess's name but Medusa is definitely more popular!Product DetailsThis lovely golden crown will make your basic toga ensemble jaw-dropping and unique. The molded headpiece has a geometric crown base and a nest of slithering snakes with menacing red eyes.

Pair this with any of our toga or goddess costumes and you'll have a look that'll be iconic!
Are you tired of having to slay imaginary orcs with your Little League bat? Sick of pretending that your yardstick is the legendary Excalibur? Embarrassed that you're the only one in your LARPing group who has to use a pool noodle as a stand in a sword made of Valerian Steele? How embarrassing! It's enough to make any self-respecting Dungeons-and-Dragons-playing, Lord-of-the-Rings-reading, Game-of-Thrones-watching battle enthusiast want to hang up his embrodiered velvet cloak in resignation.Time to rest easy, friend, because your long nightmare of make-believe is finally over!

With it's highly realistic look, you can easily step into a new realm of imaginary quests, all while earning the respect of both yourself and others!

That's what you say, when you're about to do something really cool with a sword? It's been a while since we've been able to hang at Medieval Times with our D&D crew, so we've kind of forgot some stuff).
Waiting for StyleIt's easy to tire oneself of modern technology -- and style. We totally get it. Sometimes even state-of-the-art gadgets and gizmos look like cheap flashy junk. If you're the type of gal that prefers brass, gears, and leather over plastic, LCDs, and wi-fi, then this Burgundy Steampunk Hat is just the accessory you need to reinvigorate your wardrobe before your next retro adventure!What exactly makes something “steampunk?" A lot of times, it's something that you just know when you see it, but there's definitely more to making something steampunk than slapping some valves on it and putting it on board a zeppelin. It's a unique style that fuses Victorian Era fashion and sensibility with the loud, gritty, and dangerous look of the Industrial Revolution, which makes everything appear more exciting! For instance, would you want to drive your boring old car to work everyday if you could pilot a “pneumatic powered quad-wheeled auto-buggy” instead? Even though those are basically the same things, the second one sounds much cooler!Design & DetailsSame goes for this Burgundy Steampunk Hat, whose lacing, feathers, tulle wrap, and beaded details makes it nothing if not cool. The goggles have an elastic band to secure them to the hat, and the one size fits most noggins! Careful up there in the sky, adventurer -- we hear that while the tech has advanced in Steampunkland, the safety measures haven't.
She Knew She Could, So She Did! In every age, there has to be someone who decides to be the voice for the voiceless - who takes pride in making waves! Susan B. Anthony was a real firecracker who knew that the only way to make change happen was to start it herself. And look at her legacy: Generations of women who were encouraged to speak up and stand out thanks to her efforts. Would we have a Dorothy Day, a Nellie Bly, a Margaret Thatcher or a Ruth Bader Ginsburg without her? She was not afraid of bad press, threats, and even jail time.

Product DetailsStand out and be heard in a costume that honors the heroine who helped get voting rights for women! This exclusive Girls Susan B.

We have to agree, and take it a step farther by saying that having a so-so costume is impossible when you're wearing this outfit!
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.

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!

Yup, that's right, we've heard that this guy could have fun like no other. It is reasonable to conclude that, too, given what else we know about the military master.Apparently the shorter-than-average guy felt that it was crucial that he impress everyone so that they’d all look up to him for once. 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.

What are kings up to these days? They might have nice cars, live in mansions, and wear golden watches. They might employ suited up men with earbuds. The thing is, even if a king gets driven in a nice car these days that automobile is nothing compared to a golden chariot. That fancy mansion isn't much compared to alabaster columns. Really, just take a gander at the pyramids, they are just the king's graves! So, yeah. When we're talking about kings, we know who did it best!You may have heard about Tutankhamun, Ramesses, and Amenhotep being supreme rulers and sure, they all lived a pretty lush lifestyle. They were followed by guys in skirts who constantly fanned him with palm frons. They were seen as Gods with large headdresses, makeup to the max, and crazy stiff beards. But even with all of that pomp and circumstance, none of those pharaohs could rock the Casbah like this guy- paleontologists have translated the hieroglyphs on his epitaph as Partyonman. The name fits, this King had the sweetest party pyramid in all of the land, a golden tube in his burial chamber hints that he might have invented the first beer bong. Quite a legacy!You won't have trouble convincing underlings to carry you into parties when you're wearing this costume. It includes a sleeveless pullover, gold trimmed tank with a gold trimmed skirt.

Don't Take that Throne with ME!Cleopatra might have born royal but she had to struggle to rule. First, it was her little brother that tried to take the throne. Then it was her other little brother. Because of her ambition, she was tossed out of the capital city. Tough stuff. This might have stopped someone less intense. But Cleopatra is an icon for a reason! The down and out queen had her servants roll her up in a carpet and sneak her into the capital's palace when Rome's king was visiting.

Back in My Day...These days, kids have everything! With these newfangled smartphones, everything is at their fingertips. They can find the answer by doing a quick search in a web browser. They can send a message to their friends halfway across the world in the blink of an eye. They can even play a game of chess against an opponent who's living in another country.Back in the olden days, they didn't have any of that!

Time to Grovel Greetings, puny mortal. Welcome to the temple of the goddess. You have found her in a good mood, and she will look with favor upon your trembling devotion. It will go even better for you if you have remembered to bring a small gift to show your loyalty to her beautiful self. A word of advice: Live goats and sheep are so two milleniums ago. Nowadays, the goddess encourages cold drinks and maybe some cool shoes. Just a thought. Product DetailsAccept the tributes of your adoring devotees when you wear this exclusive Dark Goddess Costume Dress for Women! The long black dress zips up the back and is made of slightly stretchy jersey knit material. Its cold-shoulder-style bodice embellished with a gold-edged V neckline and an empire waistband outlined with an appliqued metallic gold ribbon. The sleeves' side puffs are made of black chiffon. The skirt features two flirty thigh-high slits that will let you show off your favorite pair of gladiator sandals. The included headband is accented with metallic braid and fabric leaves. Patron of Beauty and Brunch This goddess dress is celestially lovely, and perfect for wearing if you don't want to tie yourself to a specific mythology. It certainly adapts itself well to both Athena's dignified wisdom, Hecate's spooky magic, and Aphrodite's sultry fashion sense (which is pretty incredible when you think about it), but you could also declare yourself to be an entirely new goddess. Someone still has to claim the role of taco deity, for instance. The title of Goddess of Having Perfectly Smooth Hair Even When It's Really Humid and Hot Out title is also up for grabs.
If you're planning a toga party, historical accuracy may not be on your priority list. So you maybe don't care that historical purists would insist that there was never any such thing as a Greek toga or a women's toga or a child's toga. And this Women's Grecian Dress ISN'T a toga. If you ARE interested in historical accuracy, this costume is actually a fairly accurate representation of what a Greek woman would have worn. The only difference is that an ancient version would have been ankle-length instead of above-the-knee. But the shape, the draping and the geometric trim are realistic. For a toga, party, however, perhaps you only care that it's cute--which it is!
Casual Knight OutDisclaimer: this helmet is bad news for jousting matches. But, it’s absolutely perfect if you have other knightly duties to perform but want to relax a little. See, knight helmets aren’t comfortable. They’re made of metal, cold, sharp metal. And if yours isn’t cold, it’s probably too hot—there really is no in-between. The point is, as a knight, you have lots to do while dressed as a knight. Whether it’s a short day, wintery day, long day, or sunny day, there’s some discomfort in store, all due to that silly helmet you have to wear. And while we highly advise donning the metal contraption for your jousting matches and whatnot, we’ve got something better for when you need it just for appearances’ sake.Product DescriptionLook like the knight in shining armor you’re meant to be, and stay comfy with this Silver Knight Plush Helmet! By doing away with metal helmet construction, this padded metallic headcover is the solution all knights have been waiting for! In addition to being soft-sculpted, this high-shine helmet is lightweight and made to fit newly recruited and veteran knights. You’ll feel so relaxed under the visor and helm, you’ll find yourself wanting to wear it whether you’re attending your king’s Accession Day tilt or laying down for a good knight’s sleep!
It seems like most people, when asked to imagine a knight in their mind, picture a strapping man in shining armor atop a horse. We'd like to change that, and we think this girl's warrior knight costume is a great start! She'll look no worse for wear when she goes out wearing this look, ready to fight a dragon, save a steward in distress, or defend a king from invading forces. No need to worry about the chainmail...it's actually a comfortable fabric even though it looks pretty intense. So, let your daughter or granddaughter know that she too can be a fearless warrior of old this Halloween with our warrior knight costume.
It's Renaissance Faire time! The time to dress up and watch people reenact life in Renaissance times. It can be very "edu-taining," and your little ren faire fan can get in on the fun in our exclusive Toddler Renaissance Man Costume! Renaissance costumes are definitely some of the coolest period costumes to wear. They can be very colorful and elaborate, or they can also be very practical and earthy, but they all look fun. What will your toddler imagine they are doing while they are wearing this costume? They might pretend to be a merchant, trading goods and wares all around the countryside. Maybe they fancy themselves a tavern owner, who spends their days making delicious food and drinks for weary travelers. Or, maybe he wants to grab a sword and protect his townsfolk from bandits! This Renaissance-inspired costume is the perfect style for your little one to be whoever they want to be at reenactments and festivals. We designed this exclusive costume to look just like an outfit that a toddler may have worn a few hundred years ago.

All this costume needs is a pair of matching period boots, and any other old-timey accessories your little one may want to add. And don't forget about the rest of the family, who can also get in on the time-traveling fun with all of our other child and adult size Renaissance Faire costumes!
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!
At Death's DoorWhen Anubis got a job as the underworld's bouncer, he didn't think he'd have any trouble. After all, the folks at the party were literally dead. What uninvited soul would want in this particular club? Well, it turns out, there are always people lining up to get into the Necropolis to "try and rescue" someone in their life. You know the drill, some guy is always trying to bring his soulmate who was taken too soon back to the land of the living. With a dog like this at the door, no one will dare cross death's door without an invite. Product DetailsStay comfortable all Halloween with this molded latex mask. A metallic finish finishes off both the gold molded fabric and the angry jackal skin. No souls will dare to pull any funny stuff with you when they see your wide snarl and angry expression. It has tall ears and a long snout so even if it's dark people will be able to see your epic, godlike profile.No Hall passesAnubis always stands strong no matter what comes to death's gates. And when the living talks about how Hades let so-and-so take a challenge and escape death, Anubis strongly reminds them that his Necropolis is an exclusive city, not some down and out river of the dead like the river Styx. That kind of attitude is exactly why this jackal god has always been the only guy for the job!

To help you live your best debutante life, we designed this gown to look amazing without needing a corset. Because how can you deliver clever "bless your heart" one-liners if your ribs are being crushed? You're so welcome.
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.

All About the BenjaminBen Franklin was one cool dude. Throughout his lifetime, he did tons of stuff during the early establishment of America and he also created a ton of cool gadgets that many of us use today. He drew the first political cartoon. He figured out lightning and crafted the first lightning rods to protect buildings from storms. He made the first bifocals, which is basically the same design that grandma uses today! He held the title of the first Postmaster General for the United States. And, of course, his crowning achievement? Getting his face on the hundred dollar bill!

When you're the ruler of the greatest ancient empire on the Nile river, you don't have to worry about what anything costs. Your only concern is keeping up with the most fabulous fashion of the time. You had to make sure everything was adorned in gorgeous jewels, flaked in gold, or made of the most luxurious Egyptian linens. Everything was at your fingertips as far as your great river would stretch. With ruling all of those people, we suppose you had earned it though. Maybe that and a few statues of yourself dotting the riverbanks. A pyramid just for you? So it shall be written, so it shall be done! The biggest proof of your power though, was the great headdress adorning you as a king of Europe would wear a crown. We understand that your royalty hasn't quite been recognized yet, but we know as well as you do that it's only a matter of time before this occurs. While your waiting, this fantastic King Tut headband will be a fantastic place holder to prepare you for the real deal.
Eureka! I've found it!Everyone has lightbulb moments in their day to day lives. But if you make an extravagant scene to celebrate, folks might think you're just a little off your rocker. Okay, we realize you put that pre-fab furniture together all by yourself without looking at the instructions, but you don't have to tell everyone in the neighborhood about it... they'll think you're a little wacky! Unless you have wild and crazy white hair.

Lily of the NileTwo things go into the making of a legendary ruler. One is an impressive sense of strategy. The other is an iconic style. It's pretty clear that Cleopatra had both! She was able to intimidate and conquer, but she was also able to make wearing a golden serpent crown look like #fashiongoals. We respect that a lot. Product DetailsRule over ancient Egypt while wearing your Women's Cleopatra Costume Headband Accessory! The gold braid headband fits snugly around the crown of your head with an elastic band at the back, and is embellished with bright aquamarine faux jewels.

If you've noticed your child has been spending copious amounts of time in the yard with a pickax, or if they've got a grey wispy beard coming in, and if you ask them how their day went and they always reply, "Get 'way me mine, Missy, I'm on da verge a GOLD, here!" Then we have something to tell you... yep, it's as you already suspected. You're raising an old-timey, 1840s prospector. But it's okay! You're going to get through this because our child prospector costume is going to help the gold rush fever get through their system much faster than it would naturally. Yep, he'll soon learn that there's no gold in the backyard, but he'll sure look like he's ready to hit the mother lode in this exclusive costume.
Redesigning a DynastyIf you could redesign all the wonders of ancient Egypt would you change anything about their design? We realize that it's a bit blasphemous to critique these ancient wonders but that's just because we're looking at history through rose-colored sunglasses. The Sphinx is cool and everything but the thing is, as a half-cat the Sphinx has probably been pretty bored through the centuries. A pharaoh like you could have had his people sculpt a ball of string between the paws of the Sphinx to keep the calm creature calm through the ages. Maybe the Sphinx would have even thrown a few blessings down on your reign. Either way, it would be pretty awesome to head back to ancient times to see the pyramids in all their glistening marble sided glory and float through the green glories of the Nile. But if you're planning on a time travel coup, you're going to need the right costume!Product Details & DesignThis Made-By-Us look is sure to make you look right at home in the palaces of ancient Egypt! Our designers put together this awesome look with a dashing gold, turquoise, and black color scheme. The tunic zips up the back to make transforming into a regal entity easy.

Team up with Nefertiti or Egyptian deities like Anubis or Isis and you'll be able to relive the Egyptian golden era in style. We're so ready to see you roll out your new ideas for the ancient world. It's about time ancient wonders popped up in our new millennium!
THE ALL-FATHER'S SHIELDWhen you're destined to become the new king of the clans but have quite a few betrayers to deal with before getting there, things aren't always going to go especially smoothly. There might be quite a bit of conflict and more than one axe coming your way.Fortunately, if you're Ragnar Lothbrok, Odin seems to have a pretty vested interest in your success and will always send protection down to keep you save until the very end. Of course, that doesn't mean you shouldn't show up prepared. DESIGN & DETAILSThis officially licensed Ragnar Lothbrok Red Shield from Vikings is a faithfully recreated replica, Made by Us to ensure that your exploits as a warrior go well! This is a large, plastic, round shield that is painted red and black to look as authentic as the shields wielded in the show. It's the perfect way to accessorize any warrior's look, especially for any Viking raids you may have planned. PASS IT ON TO BJORNWith a shield of this high quality, you know that it will keep you safe until it is time to pass the mantle of rulership down to your heir. Wield it well and take down all your enemies and the thing will still be around for Bjorn to follow in your shoes after it is time to open the gates to Valhalla!
The bow of your ship cuts a sharp cold line in the blue-gray sea. It's been almost a year since you've been home and you can almost see it now. The pine trees interrupt the horizon line and the current changes as you head for the bay. You and the crew are coming home with plenty of loot, there will a grand celebration in the mead hall tonight. Sometimes you miss the simple village life but there is nothing you'd rather do than raid with the rest of your crew. There's no better life than the life of a shield maiden. Why do we always picture Viking women with two tightly braided plaits? It's probably because they were too busy to come up with any other styles and keeping their hair out of the way was paramount. Those busy women were raising children by dangerous fjords, drying fish, spinning wool, and sometimes even participating in raids. We'd like to see the class bully try yanking the hair of a Viking girl, he would never want to see a pigtail again.

These Old World Sandals look like something that your grandpa's grandpa would have worn. Back in the day, Socrates would walk the streets of Athens wearing something like these. But, we’re not sure you’ve heard: old-school is IN. Young people all over Brooklyn want to wear what your grandpa’s grandpa wore.

Pick up this strappy pair to accompany your toga to Greenpoint on Halloween eve, then wear them to brunch in Park Slope all summer long!
