We can’t tell a lie! Wearing a George Washington costume will make you feel like a founding father of the United States. This important figure in American history first served as the commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary War, drafted the United States Constitution, and was later elected by the people as the first president of the newly formed nation in 1789. George Washington is remembered as one of the greatest president of all time who successfully lead the colonies and their new nation through an era of great conflict and change. Instantly recognizably by American citizens, George Washington has become national symbols in his Washington costume, appearing in many formats including dollar bills to etched in stone on Mount Rushmore.

A George Washington costume is the perfect outfit for ideal for a President’s Day parade, a Fourth of July celebration and school events! Just imagine the top grade your biography report will get when you recite it dressed up in a realistic Washington costume.  Or, watch as all hail to the chief when you march down the street in a George Washington costume carrying the American Flag! Really, there is not better way to honor our first president on President’s Day by than by wearing a Washington costume.

A Washington costume can take one of several looks. The first is his General Washington costume based on the uniform from the Revolutionary War. When fighting first broke out in 1775, Washington showed up at the Second Continental Congress dressed in a military uniform (a Washington costume to us modern folks) to signal that the patriots should be prepared for war. His Commander-In-Chief Washington costume featured tan breeches, a tan waistcoat and an ornamental navy jacket and was captured in a portrait of his swearing in ceremony. Predating this time period, George was a Colonel in the Virginia Regiment and was known to wear a Washington costume that featured a red waist, red breeches and a navy uniform coat. Of course, equestrian-style leather boots and a white powdered Washington costume wig are essential accessories to any Washington costume.  When heading out in inclement weather a Washington costume would benefit from a dark, long wool coat and tircorn hat that was popular during the Colonial era. The tricorn hat is an interesting addition to the Washington costume as it was often part of the General’s uniform and the turned-up, three-cornered design allowed rain water to run away from the face and over the shoulders like “gutters” thus protecting the Washington costume.

Washington was a man who walked the walk, talked the talk and wore the clothing of a true patriot. He insisted that his Washington costume was made right here in America and not overseas by the British. Additionally, while serving as President, his philosophy was to wear a Washington costume featuring the clothing of a normal citizen as opposed to the elaborate robes, crowns and regalia of a monarch. In this light, when not shown in his military uniform, George probably wore a Washington costume that consisted of upper-class clothing from the 18^th century such as the black velvet suit with a lace-ruffled white shirt that he is often portrayed in. In later years, while tending to the crops and gardens at Mount Vernon it was described that a typical Washington costume consisted of “plain drab clothes, a broad-brimmed white hat . . . and carrying an umbrella with a long staff which is attached to his saddle-bow.”. Also, George was known to have a fondness for dogs (owning 36 or more) and usually had a canine companion at his side; one of his favorites was named “Sweet Lips”. A real or stuffed animal hound would made a fun accessory to Washington costume.

A warlocks is the male version of a female witch, especially as portrayed in European Middle Ages. Instead of broomsticks, legend says that warlocks rode around on pitchforks as part of their warlock costumes. The meaning of the word warlock comes from several languages and as been translated as “deceiver”, “oath breaker” and “caller of spirits”. A favorite character in literature, television and the movies, warlocks are portrayed in many fashions of warlock costumes.

You can cast a fierce spell in one of the many warlock costumes; many are based from popular movies and television shows. From the book and movies series “Harry Potter”, most every character is a warlock (also called wizard) who is attending Hogwarts Academy for Witchcraft and Wizardry. The warlock costumes of the kids attending school here, such as Harry Potter and Ron Weasely, feature long cloak robes worn over prep-school type clothing. Harry Potter’s warlock costumes also features a wool scarf in maroon and gold, the Gryffindor house colors. Other essential gear for Harry Potter warlock costumes are his signature round black glasses, a magic wand and a lightening bolt scar on the forehead.  Professor Albus Dumbledore, the Defense of the Dark Arts professor Severus Snape, and the evil Lord Voldemort are a interesting wizards that can be replicated with the right choice in warlock costumes.

The character name Gandalf from the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy is another great choice for warlock costumes. His warlock costumes feature long robes and a long white-grey beard and hair giving him the look of kind wisdom. Sometime his warlock costumes are portrayed with robes made in white, voluminous fabric and a long staff, especially as portrayed by actor Ian McKellen. To these warlock costumes, add a magic wand and other fantasy accessories for an out-of-this world look.

Merlin is perhaps one of the most famous wizards of all time and his actions and warlock costumes have been documented in the myth and legend of King Arthur. The first descriptions of this character date back all the way back to the 12^th century. Written about in books since this time and portrayed in more modern media, his warlock costumes run the gamut from a navy blue hooded robe to the stereotypical pointed wizard hat embellished with moons and stars. Another idea for warlock costumes is from the “World of Warcraft”. The World of Warcraft is a popular video game that gives players the opportunity to become a warlock and virtually wear warlock costumes as one of the role-playing characters.  In the game, you can assume the role of a wizard wearing warlock costumes with an avatar and now in real life you can dress up as one of the characters one of many World of Warcraft warlock costumes.
