The green spadonis feather is a loose decorative feather measuring approximately 50 centimetres, with long, fine fibres that fan out like a full green plume. You tuck it behind the edge or band of a Pete costume cap so that the plume stands out above your head. Women and men wear it during Sinterklaas celebrations, at the arrival parade or on costume night, and it is sold individually.

The Pete feather during Sinterklaas
A large coloured feather on the cap is one of the defining features of the Pete costume. The outfit is based on the clothing worn by pages at court, and a cap with a plume has traditionally been part of it. In the parade, you will see feathers in all sorts of colours, and green is one of the traditional colours.
How to create a complete Pete outfit with the feather
Start with the cap and choose one in a colour that contrasts with the green, such as red, black or yellow, so that the feather stands out. Repeat the green elsewhere in your costume, for example in the collar, the puffy trousers or a sash, so that the outfit looks like a cohesive whole. With a few feathers in different colours on a single cap, you can make the look fuller and more colourful.
Order the green spadonis feather and get your cap ready in time for the arrival parade.
