Product Details
What's Included
- Rust-brown knee-length colonial jacket with set-in sleeves, notched lapels, front pockets and full lining
- Attached mock armor vest with printed metallic blue-grey finish, riveted panel design and vertical center seam
- Cylindrical bucket helmet in matching metallic armor-look fabric with wide horizontal eye slit and distressed weathered finish
This licensed Rubie's Ned Kelly costume recreates the iconic silhouette of Australia's most famous bushranger from the 1880s Kelly Gang. The three-piece set features a colonial-era jacket with integrated armor vest and the legendary bucket helmet.
The jacket is finished in rust-brown cotton-blend twill with notched lapels and side pockets with flaps, cut to knee length in period style. The attached mock armor vest uses metallic printed fabric to simulate weathered steel plates, complete with decorative rivet detailing and a distressed paint effect for an aged metal appearance. The bucket helmet features a shaped rigid frame covered in matching armor-look fabric, with a clear viewing slot at eye level and the same weathered finish.

- Integrated armor vest permanently attached inside jacket for authentic layered look
- Distressed metallic finish on vest and helmet simulates battle-worn steel plating
- Bucket helmet with wide eye slit for visibility and iconic silhouette
- Open-front jacket design displays the armor vest beneath for full bushranger effect
Perfect For
Australia Day & Heritage Events: Ideal for Australia Day celebrations, Anzac commemorations, colonial heritage festivals and Australian history reenactments where iconic national figures take centre stage.
Book Week & Educational Events: Strong choice for Book Week costumes tied to Australian history texts, school presentations on colonial Australia, or cultural heritage assignments exploring the Kelly Gang legend.
Themed Parties & Fancy Dress: Works for outlaw-themed parties, historical costume events, bushranger nights, and any fancy dress occasion calling for a recognizable Australian cultural figure with instant visual impact.
How to Wear It
Pair with dark denim jeans or black trousers and brown or black boots to complete the bushranger look. Add a prop toy pistol or rifle for reenactment photos (weapon not included). Skip modern accessories — keep the focus on the weathered colonial coat and iconic armor.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in the costume, and what do I need to supply separately?
The set includes the jacket with attached armor vest and the bucket helmet. Pants, boots and any prop weapons are not included — you'll need to supply dark trousers and footwear separately.
Is the armor real metal or fabric?
The armor vest and helmet are made from printed fabric with a metallic finish that simulates weathered steel. They're lightweight costume pieces, not actual metal — safe for all-day wear at events.
Will people recognize this as Ned Kelly?
Yes — the bucket helmet with eye slit is one of Australia's most iconic historical images. The silhouette is instantly recognizable at heritage events, Australia Day parties and Book Week presentations.
Can I see through the helmet comfortably?
The helmet has a wide horizontal viewing slot at eye level with clear vinyl or mesh backing for good visibility. You'll be able to navigate events and take photos without removing the headpiece.
How do I care for the metallic fabric?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not machine wash or tumble dry — the metallic printed finish and distressed paint effect can degrade with harsh cleaning. Hang to air-dry away from direct heat.
Care: Spot clean only. Hang to dry. Do not machine wash.
