Thread: Captain Hook costume opinions?

Tweet

Hey guys! Due to building a ridiculous amount of props this year, I'm going to have to buy my costume. I was wondering if I could get some input on which costume everyone thinks is best. I am also in need of a good hat (with giant feather) wig and moustache, if anyone has happened to see one somewhere. Any input is greatly appreciated! ^_^

Captain Hook Costume

Captain Morgan Costume

Captain Hook Prestige Adult Costume - Costumes

Personally, I like the Captain Morgan costume least (I have the suspicion that it would be rather cheap-y in person). Of the two Hooks, if you really want to be as close as possible to the Disney rendition, the Prestige costume is quite good. However, my money is on the (unfortunately more pricey) first Hook costume if you aren't looking to be the Disney animated version. It looks like it has some nicer quality garments and those items are likely the sort that could be used in other costume situations. I'm not a fan of the sort of costume where all the pieces are sewn together, and the first Hook is the only one that appears to have real, individual garments.

We are going as the Disney variation, and I agree I like the more expensive one better, I'm just not sure if it fits the theme. I'm going to try and find both of those in person, and see what they look like. The more expensive one looks like it would last through a few good sword fights! ^_^ Thanks for the input!

How much are we talking when one says "more expensive"?

Haha now THAT is a great Cap'n hook costume! ^_^ I'm pondering sporting purple tights...hmm.. =))

Well i can't say i never wore tights... sooooo (peter pan one year for the kids.)

I like the look of the "hook" costume. To me the last one looks a little "cheap" in a way. If youa re going for the "classic disney" i think the captain morgan is closer.

I like the first one. It looks the most dignified to me. The second one's too bright red (Santa Hook?) and the third one is too fancy and fussy for me.

if youa re going for captain hook (traditional disney) then the "santa hook" is a better option.
