Boys Iron Age costume

My son needs to wear an Iron Age costume for a school trip.

Any ideas? I am stumped. I tried to buy an outfit online but they are all sold out. I was that desperate.

Make a tunic out of an old adult t shirt, leather belt round his waist and a cloak out of an old sheet/blanket. Trackie or pyjama bottoms.

Gosh, that's quite hard!

Umm, are you thinking Celtic? Maybe lightish trousers tucked into long socks, and some kind of gilet over a long sleeved top? A fur or leather-look gilet would be ideal. You could cut the sleeves of something to make one if you were desperate.

The Celts spiked up their hair before battle so you could gel his hair up and draw some swirly tattoos on him!

Iceni: just paint him blue and send him in naked apart from that that.

off, obviously.

Get one of your old tops (or buy cheap one from Primark) and cut it raggedy style to make a peasant tunic. Some kind of belt round and a toy sword, dagger or similar.

Man's long t shirt with belt/tie round
Easy
If you have a cloak /animal skin item/celtic brooch add it
But basic long t shirt with tie round is fine

Would this be any good? They do large sizes too. (Ds - age 6 year 2 - wore this for world book day when he wanted to be the Stonehenge archer. We got a pair of black leggings to go under it and he didn't wear the helmet) I got mine from Amazon
