Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

The jacket runs true to size at the shoulders but has a tailcoat cut - measure your child's chest and length from shoulder to waist. The pants have an elastic waist and sit loose for comfort. If your child is between sizes, we'd go up for room to move (they'll be standing and saluting a lot!).

Can they wear this over regular clothes?

The jacket goes over a regular shirt easily - actually looks better with a white tee underneath for a crisp uniform effect. The pants are meant to be worn as costume bottoms. They can wear their own black shoes.

Care: Spot clean the jacket and hat. Pants and gloves are hand-washable.
