California Costumes Boys British Redcoat Costume - Medium (8-10), Red

This costume was the HUGEST hit with my 10yo son. He’s very interested in the Revolutionary War and loves to reenact battles he’s seen. He was absolutely beside himself when he got it. And TBH, I was surprised by the quality. Most cheap costumes cost twice as much but this one is actually great quality and it fits perfect. If you’re in the market for a redcoats costume, I would recommend this without hesitation. The 8-10 fit my average height 10yo perfectly. But he’s on the thinner side so if you child is heavier you might want to size up.

Quality, appearance was perfect.

My sister decided to be a red coat for this upcoming Halloween, so we bought everything to ready for it. This costume is the only one in the market that doesn't look filmsy and the x-large fits an average 15-year old enough. Though I did went with the size (it said that the large takes up to 14) it was still a little snug on my sister that is in the said size. The costume can be ironed but very delicately. Let the kid wear a white undershirt so even if the vest part of the costume goes up, it'll look like they have uniform in the inside too. Pick from stapling or double siding tape the belt because it tends to fall (hide the stapler under the buckle).Be mindful though, this costume does not include the tricorn hat (there are good ones out there, don't worry), pants (beige pants are hard to find and even rarer to wear, so find something fitting and cheap), scabbard (if that's your thing, but note that if your child is wearing this to school? It's a bad idea. School's are strict to sharp-looking even fake objects and especially to fake guns. It's better to just buy a toy horse with this costume), and last boots (it's always a great way to save money and use the boot cover that comes with the package but it's more realistic if you find a real riding or just normal boots)Remember that half of the work is the costume and the other half is making sure it works! So try to see if everything works together while sitting, walking, etc and if there are any problems you can still resolve it before the day Halloween comes. So, goodluck and have fun!

Our son loves history and is currently learning about the Revolutionary War. When he told us he wanted to be a Red Coat for Halloween I thought there was no way I would be able to find something to fit him. Well, thank you Amazon!! It fit him perfectly and he got lots of remarks on it while he was out Trick or Treating! Highly recommend!

Really adorable costume! He looked so cute

This coat is so comfortable and well made that my son wears it for fun like a lightweight hoodie. It's a great costume, we chose boots instead of the spats, and never wore the belt- but it is hands down worth it over any cheaper costume. For none colonial wear, if your kid has black glasses and longish hair it has a real Austin Powers vibe.

California Costumes does a great job making these costumes. I also purchased their American Patriot costume. Both costumes are made with an impressive medium-thickness fabric. The colors are bright, and the fabric is well-stitched. The detailing is well done and makes these costumes almost look like the real thing. My sons really enjoy playing with these. You will need to purchase a hat and a wig. It also does not come with pants. Once all the parts are put in place, the look is fantastic. I would purchase again.

I could tell when I opened package that it was used just looking at costume but the fact that there was used double stick tape on the white crossbody belt when we received it…..confirmed it.
