Neck and handcuffs

The neck and hand shackles are prop shackles from Boland in a Y-shape, with a neck shackle and two wrist shackles connected by large links.

You wear the neck shackle around your neck, so the chain runs straight down your chest and splits halfway to both wrists. This instantly turns a striped prisoner outfit or a torn shirt into a chained prisoner during Carnival or Halloween.

Neck shackle, wrist shackles and chain at a glance

• The neck shackle is a large open ring and the two wrist shackles are smaller, all three with fake bolts at the ends.
• The shackles and links are grey with a silver-coloured shine and have a hammered surface that resembles old wrought iron.
• The stated length is 100 cm.
• The material is 100% polypropylene.
• You receive one complete set: the neck shackle, the two wrist shackles and the chain connecting them.
• Because the neck shackle holds the chain in the middle of your chest, the Y-shape remains visible, even when you spread your arms. Choose this model if you want to show the chains across your entire upper body.

Why are neck shackles part of a prisoner costume?

Shackles around the neck with chains leading to the wrists are the classic image of a chained prisoner, as you know from stories about dungeons, pirate ships and prisoner transports. With such a costume, the chain tells the story more than the clothes: without shackles, a striped outfit can easily look like just pajamas. During Carnival, it suits a cheerful villain look, while during Halloween it suits an exhausted prisoner who has been locked up for weeks.

A complete villain outfit around the chain shackles

The chain shackles look best on a bare upper body or an open, torn shirt, with beige or striped trousers underneath. A loose prop iron ball on an ankle shackle completes the image of the escaped prisoner. If you prefer to play a captured pirate, combine the shackles with black three-quarter trousers and long hair. Some grey and red face paint on the arms and shins gives the impression of abrasions and dirt.

Order the neck and hand shackles and walk around during Carnival or Halloween as a chained villain.
