Benjamin | Boys Colonial Halloween Costume

Benjamin is a boys colonial Halloween costume built around a long navy tailcoat with cream lapels and turned-back cuffs. A buttoned cream vest front, knee breeches and a tricorn hat complete a costume that reads as eighteenth-century from across the room.

The coat falls past the hips with cream-faced front panels that swing open as he walks, and the breeches gather just below the knee. It suits boys who want a costume with some history behind it, whether that's trick-or-treating, a school history day, a class presentation or a stage role in a school play. The pieces layer over a plain shirt, and the shape is easy to move and sit in for a long evening of Halloween parties.
