This Kids WW2 Evacuee Boy Costume brings a 1940s wartime British schoolboy to life, sized for mid-primary to early-teen boys. The grey jacket has notched lapels and a white mock shirt front already sewn in, paired with mid-calf trousers, a brown flat cap, and a cross-body satchel — the ID tag on cord adds authentic evacuee detail parents and teachers remember from history lessons.
The grey jacket has an attached mock shirt; the 3/4 pants fall just below the knee in period-accurate 1940s schoolboy cut. Brown cap and satchel complete the wartime look without needing extra accessories. Comes ready to wear — no sewing, no last-minute scrambling.
Perfect For
Book Week & History Projects: A good pick for Goodnight Mister Tom, Carrie's War, or any wartime literature unit. Pairs with classroom history assignments on WW2, the Blitz, or Australian wartime experiences.
100 Days of School: Perfect for centenarian dress-up days and vintage-themed school celebrations. The evacuee theme ties directly to 1940s history lessons taught in upper primary.
School Concerts & Commemoration Events: Ideal for Anzac Day school assemblies, Remembrance Day plays, historical re-enactments, or any 1940s-themed school production.
How to Wear It
Pair with black school shoes and dark socks. The satchel sits across the chest for authentic evacuee appearance; tuck a small teddy bear or book inside for added wartime-child detail.
Parent FAQs
Q: What size should I order?
M suits most primary school boys; XL fits early teens. Check the size chart for chest measurements — the jacket is tailored through the shoulders, so measure across the widest part of your child's chest and compare.
Q: Do we need to buy anything else?
Just black shoes and socks. The costume includes the jacket (with mock shirt attached), trousers, cap, satchel, and ID tag — everything visible in the wartime evacuee look.
Q: Can this be worn for Book Week and 100 Days?
Absolutely. The wartime evacuee theme works for any Book Week parade featuring 1940s literature, and the vintage styling is spot-on for centenarian dress-up at 100 Days of School celebrations.
Q: Will the cap stay on during outdoor parades?
It's a fitted fabric flat cap. If your school parade is on a windy day, a small bobby pin tucked inside the cap band keeps it secure without showing.
