Step into the chocolate factory boss role for Roald Dahl Day, World Book Day or World Book Week with a costume that builds the whole look in one order — every piece needed for the character is included, so there is nothing extra to source. It comes in mens sizing across a full X-Small to X-Large range, so the coat and waistcoat sit properly rather than needing an improvised fit, whether it is worn for a school assembly, a library event, a book character parade or a themed work day.

The coat: a deep purple velvet-look coat with a structured collar, fastening simply at the front so getting into character takes moments rather than a full change of clothes.
The waistcoat: a bright candy-print waistcoat with buttons down the front, worn underneath the coat for the layered factory-boss silhouette.
The finishing touches: a large gold silk-look bow tie and an oversized brown top hat with an orange band, completing the look without any extra shopping.

Perfect for:

Roald Dahl Day and World Book Day celebrations
World Book Week school events and library days
Book character parades and school assemblies
Themed staff days and fancy dress parties
