This Kids Benjamin Franklin Colonial Costume brings one of America's Founding Fathers to life for Book Week, history projects, or any colonial-era dress-up day. The rich brown coat and breeches, traditional tricorn hat, and cream ruffled jabot capture 1770s Revolutionary War-era style, ready for school presentations, historical parades, or biography character days.
The long coat has an attached waistcoat front for easy on-off over school clothes, and the breeches feature elasticated cuffs at the knee plus a stretchy waist for comfortable movement. The tricorn hat and ruffled jabot complete the 18th-century statesman look. Brown and cream palette works for any founding father character or colonial gentleman theme.
Perfect For
Book Week & History Projects: A standout pick for biography dress-up days, American history presentations, or any Book Week theme featuring historical figures and founding fathers.
School Events: Colonial days, history parades, or classroom reenactments.
Theatrical & Dress-Up Play: School plays set in 18th-century America, historical theatre productions, or casual dress-up at home with a founding father flair.
How to Wear It
Pair with black school shoes and white knee socks for authentic 1770s style. A white curled wig (not included) adds instant founding father recognition, or slick your child's hair back for a powdered-wig effect. Carry a scroll prop to channel Benjamin Franklin's statesman energy.
Parent FAQs
Q: What size should I order?
A: Sizes: S fits ages 3-4 (chest 60-64cm, height 105-115cm), M fits 5-6 (chest 65-68cm, height 116-125cm), L fits 7-8 (chest 69-72cm, height 126-135cm) and XL fits 9-10 (chest 73-76cm, height 136-145cm). The full chart is on this page.
Q: Can they wear this over regular clothes?
A: Yes — the coat goes on over a shirt, and the breeches pull on over undies or leggings. Easy for quick changes at school or before a presentation.
Q: Does this include the wig and scroll?
A: No — wig, scroll, socks, and shoes are styling props only, not included. The costume itself is the tricorn hat, coat with attached waistcoat, jabot, and breeches (4 pieces total).
Q: Will this work for other historical characters?
A: Absolutely. The colonial style suits any American Founding Father (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams), a Revolutionary War soldier, or a generic 18th-century gentleman for Book Week or school history days.
