Fred Flintstone Costume

Fred Flintstone is arguably one of the most-loved bumbling stone-age cartoon patriarch figures and it is no wonder that Fred Flintstone costume is a highly popular choice for special fun-filled occasions among adults. You do not necessarily have to buy the costume from a specialist store, you will be surprised at how many Fred Flintstone costumes you could find from your local discount stores, flea markets or yard sales. Costumes sold at these places are by no mean inferior compared to the ones from a specialist costume shop or online costume store. If you feel like a bit of fun putting the fancy costume together yourself, check out the fabric shops to find an animal print material (such as leopard or cheetah print) and solid earth tone without any design or patterns.

A Fred Flintstone costume must have the distinctive arm openings and jagged edges at the hems. Fred also wears a big bright blue coloured tie that is long, running almost three quarters of the whole length of his costume that you can fasten around the neck using velcro. You can use seam tape to stick felt triangles onto the costume or manually draw on the fabric big triangles using a permanent black marker, whichever suits you best. Make sure you get a bright orange fabric for your costume. If you are feeling adventurous and would like to add all the special little details that make Fred Flintstone, many stores do offer other accessories. This includes a caveman inflatable club, a Fred Flintstone black wig, a rubber mask, a pair of fluffy wrist cuffs, a jumbo sized cave bone and a pair of oversized caveman feet. Fred Flintstone costume is one of the most popular costume choices for men. If you want to buy them off the shelf, they come in standard men sizes, some shops do cater for non-standard sizes but it will cost you extra. So if you are planning a Halloween party and would like to dress up as Fred, make sure you allow sufficient time to get the costume altered so that it fits you properly.

The most economical way is to create your own Fred Flintstone costume by rummaging through your old clothes and see what you could find! Alternatively you can buy a ready-made set from the shops. If either of these options does not appeal to you, some shops are now offering costume for hire service, which is a much better option for those of you who would like to dress up as different characters and not get stuck with just the one Fred Flintstone costume. It is not uncommon for shops to request a deposit to be put down when hiring the costume which will be refunded in full when you return the costume to the shop in good usable condition. Otherwise they may deduct a sum from the deposit to cover the cost of repairing any damage that might have caused to the costume such as holes, rips or stains.
