What's in the Box

Black tunic with hieroglyphic panel and Eye of Horus hem border
Blue and gold striped Pharaoh headdress with cobra emblem
Winged scarab collar piece with gold trim

This Mens Egyptian Pharaoh Costume brings the grandeur of ancient Egypt to any historical event or Book Week parade. Knee-length black tunic with a vertical panel of hieroglyphic symbols — ankh, ram, seated figure — plus Eye of Horus motifs along the hem, paired with the iconic blue-and-gold striped nemes headdress that drapes down with side lappets.

The winged scarab collar is the standout piece: a structured overlay trimmed in metallic gold, featuring a red sun disk flanked by turquoise blue wings. The tunic's satin-finish polyester gives you movement and comfort, while the gold metallic waist belt adds authentic royal polish. Headdress holds its shape throughout the event, and the whole set pulls on with no fiddly fastenings.

Perfect For

Book Week & Historical Presentations: A natural pick for ancient Egypt school projects, Book Week historical figures, or any classroom day when the curriculum turns to pharaohs and pyramids.

Themed Parties & Museum Events: Ideal for Egyptian-themed costume parties, Halloween historical characters, or museum fundraisers celebrating ancient civilisations.

Stage Productions & Cosplay: Works for community theatre productions of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Egyptian mythology plays, or ancient history conventions.

How to Wear It

Pair with brown or black sandals and optional leg wraps for full pharaoh authenticity. Skip modern accessories — the collar and headdress carry the look. Add a ceremonial staff or sceptre prop if you want extra royal flair.

FAQ

Q: What size should I order?

A: Check the size chart for chest and length measurements. The tunic is designed to fit loosely over your regular clothes, so if you're between sizes and want a more fitted look, size down.

Q: Can I wear this over a T-shirt for indoor events?

A: Yes — the tunic is lightweight and works over a black T-shirt and trousers. The collar sits over your shoulders so it won't bunch even with a base layer underneath.

Q: How do I keep the headdress on during the event?

A: The headdress likely has an elastic or tie closure at the back to secure it. If it feels loose, a couple of bobby pins through the fabric into your hair will keep it stable.

Q: Is this suitable for outdoor Book Week parades?

A: Absolutely. The polyester fabric is durable enough for outdoor wear, and the headdress won't wilt in the sun. Just be mindful of wind — the side lappets can flap around in a breeze.

Care: Hand wash separately in cold water, hang to dry. Iron on low if needed.
