This Kids Captain Hook Pirate Costume brings the classic storybook villain to life with a burgundy velvet-effect coat, gold braid detailing, and a tri-corner hat that says "captain of the ship". Perfect for Book Week Peter Pan parades, pirate-themed school events, or any swashbuckling dress-up day.

The coat's deep burgundy fabric catches the light with a soft velveteen sheen, trimmed in gold braid at the cuffs, collar, and pocket flaps for that 18th-century naval officer look. Mock waistcoat front features a statement gold buckle, while the white jabot-style neck scarf adds the finishing touch. Hat holds its three-cornered shape and sits comfortably on most kids' heads without sliding.

Perfect For

Book Week & Literature Days: An instant pick for Peter Pan-themed dress-ups, storybook villain parades, or any fairytale character day where pirates feature — pairs beautifully with a hook hand prop (sold separately) for full Captain Hook energy.

School Plays & Nativity: Works for pirate scenes, nautical history projects, or theatrical productions needing a refined buccaneer captain look — the coat's structured cut photographs well on stage.

Pirate Parties & Halloween: Whether it's a treasure-hunt birthday bash or a Halloween pirate crew, this costume stands out from generic black-vest pirates with its rich burgundy coat and gold trim detailing.

How to Wear It

Pair with black boots or dress shoes and consider adding a toy hook hand, cutlass sword, or stick-on moustache for full Captain Hook effect (accessories sold separately). The coat layers easily over a long-sleeve shirt if it's a cooler day.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

Check the size chart image for chest and height measurements. The coat has some room through the shoulders and the trousers typically have an elastic waist, so if your child is between sizes we'd say go with their usual age size.

Can they wear this over regular clothes?

Yes — the coat is designed to layer over a shirt (white or black works best), and the trousers pull on over underwear or leggings. Great for classroom use where they might want to keep warm clothes underneath.

Are the accessories included?

No — the hook hand, sword, moustache, and boot covers shown in some photos are sold separately. This set includes the coat, waistcoat front, trousers, neck scarf, and hat only.

Is this suitable for a school Peter Pan production?

Absolutely. The costume's refined buccaneer styling and rich burgundy coat make it ideal for Captain Hook roles in Peter Pan plays, and it photographs beautifully under stage lights.

Care: Spot clean the coat and hat; hand wash trousers and neck scarf in cold water, air dry.
