What's in the Box

Black and red tunic with sewn-on shield and plastic lion head emblem
Chain mail effect sleeves with gold shoulder epaulettes
Detachable red cape with gold fasteners
Foam crown with red gem centerpiece

This Kids Medieval Knight Costume turns your child into a storybook knight with a regal lion crest, chain mail sleeves, and a flowing red cape. Perfect for Book Week, school medieval days, or any time they want to defend the castle.

The standout piece is the shield emblazoned with a gold lion head — courage and nobility in one dimensional emblem. Chain mail sleeves give authentic warrior texture, gold epaulettes add a royal touch, and the foam crown with red gem marks them as a knight-prince. The red cape attaches at the shoulders with gold fasteners and billows behind them when they charge. Black pants (not included — any dark bottoms work) complete the look.

Perfect For

Book Week & Literature Days: A natural pick for any Arthurian legend, fairytale knight, or medieval storybook character parade — Robin Hood, St George, or any brave warrior from classic children's books.

School Medieval Days & Castle Projects: Ideal for history dress-up days, Renaissance fair excursions, or classroom castle projects where kids need to look the part of a feudal knight.

Themed Parties & Dress-Up Play: Brilliant for Halloween, birthday party castle themes, or rainy-day backyard sword fights with siblings.

How to Wear It

Layer the tunic over a black long-sleeve top and black pants (any dark bottoms you already own work). Attach the cape at the shoulders, pop the crown on, and hand them a toy sword for the full knight experience. Skip modern sneakers if you can — plain black boots seal the deal.

Parent FAQs

Q: What size should I order?

Check the size chart image on this page — chest and height measurements are your best guide. If your child is between sizes, we'd say size up so the tunic layers comfortably over regular clothes.

Q: Does this include a sword or pants?

No — the costume includes the tunic, sleeves, cape and crown. Any black pants or leggings you have at home work perfectly, and toy swords are sold separately (most kids already have one kicking around!).

Q: Can they wear this over regular clothes for a cold classroom?

Yes — the tunic and sleeves layer easily over a long-sleeve top and pants. Handy if the school hall is chilly during the Book Week parade.

Q: Is the lion emblem secure for active play?

The shield and plastic lion head are sewn and heat-sealed to the chest — designed to handle school-day wear. The foam crown has an elastic band for a snug fit.

Care: Hand wash tunic and cape, air dry. Wipe foam crown with a damp cloth.
