Pirate suit Petter child

The Petter pirate costume for children is a three-piece boys' outfit with a red-and-white striped shirt, black trousers with frayed legs, and a red bandana. Simply put the shirt over a T-shirt and tie the bandana at the back of the head. In no time, your son will be ready for Carnival, a children's party, or a pirate-themed party at school.

What's included in the Petter pirate costume for children

• You get three pieces: the striped shirt, the black trousers, and the red bandana.
• The shirt features a print of a brown vest, a wide belt with a gold buckle, a cutlass, and a skull and crossbones.
• The hem of the shirt and the legs of the trousers are pointed, as if they are torn.
• The costume is made of 100% polyester.
• Choose from the children's sizes 116 cm (approximately 4 to 5 years), 128 cm (5 to 7 years), 140 cm (8 to 10 years), and 158 cm (11 to 13 years). Go by body height, not age.
• Hand wash only; do not bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean.

What makes this pirate costume different from a captain's look?

Petter is a sailor, not a captain. You can tell by the frayed edges, the sailor stripes, and the bandana instead of a feather in the hat or a long coat with gold trim. Sailors wore striped linen centuries ago, and it is precisely those stripes that make a pirate instantly recognizable to children. If you want your child to look tough without heavy makeup, this is the easiest choice.

An earring, face paint, and boots to complete the pirate costume

A gold nose ring, a black eye patch, and a pair of dark lace-up boots complete the look. Use face paint to draw a small scar on the cheek and some stubble along the jawline, just like on the packaging. A black curly wig finishes the look, and a toy cutlass or pistol in hand provides the right attitude during the parade.

Choose this pirate costume for your son and he will sail along as a sailor during Carnival or the next children's party.
