PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- Red tailcoat jacket with split tails and notched lapels
- Black top hat (55cm circumference, 13cm height)
This Kids Red Ringmaster Tailcoat brings Victorian circus energy to Book Week morning — rich red jacket with split tails down the back, single-button front, and a tall black top hat that completes the showman look. Perfect for any magic or circus character from the storybooks.
The tailcoat's fitted through the body with tails that hang from the waist, giving that classic ringmaster silhouette kids recognise from picture books. Notched lapels and clean-edge finishing make it look sharp without being fussy. Top hat is structured felt with a grosgrain ribbon band — stays on without slipping during assembly time.
Perfect For
Book Week & Literature Days: Natural pick for circus-themed picture books, magic storybook characters, or any Victorian-era showman from classic children's literature.
School Concerts & Theatrical Performances: Works beautifully for school magic shows, Christmas pageants, or any production needing a ringmaster or magician character.
Dress-Up Days & Themed Parties: Instant transformation for circus parties, magic-themed birthday celebrations, or casual dress-up play at home.
How to Wear It
Pair with black trousers and a white dress shirt (not included) to complete the formal performer look. Add a magic wand prop or white gloves for extra showman flair.
Parent FAQs
Q: What size should I order?
A: Check the size chart for chest and length measurements. The tailcoat runs true to size through the body. If your child is between sizes, go up for room to layer a shirt underneath.
Q: Does the top hat fit most kids?
A: The hat measures 55cm circumference (standard kids size). It sits securely on most school-age heads without needing elastic. If your child has a particularly small or large head, contact us for fit advice.
Q: Do I need to buy the shirt and trousers separately?
A: Yes — the set includes just the red tailcoat and top hat. Pair with any white dress shirt and black trousers from your child's wardrobe to complete the costume.
Q: Is this suitable for outdoor Book Week parades?
A: Absolutely. The tailcoat is lightweight enough for warm weather, and the hat stays on during movement. Just remind your child to hold the hat if it's windy.
Care: Spot clean the tailcoat and hat; gentle hand wash if needed.
