Product Details
What's Included
- Tall red and white striped felt hat with white brim and internal sizing band for secure fit
- Pre-tied oversee red bow tie with dimensional padded wings and elastic adjustable neck strap
- Pair of white stretch gloves with elasticated wrists, one-size-fits-most design
The Adult Storybook Cat Accessory Kit transforms everyday clothing into an instantly recognisable literary character costume. This three-piece set centres on a tall striped top hat, classic oversized bow tie and plain white gloves — the hallmarks of a beloved children's book hero.
The hat's red and white horizontal stripes are sewn from stacked felt rings, creating the exaggerated 40 cm height and whimsical tilted crown. The white curved brim provides structural support while the internal band adjusts for a snug fit. Pair with a white shirt and black trousers for a complete look.
Key Features
- Reinforced felt hat construction with internal sizing band holds shape through all-day wear
- Lightweight felt fabric won't overheat during indoor school events or photo sessions
- Instantly recognisable silhouette requires no additional props or makeup
Perfect For
Book Week & World Book Day: Teachers, school staff and parents attending school parades or classroom read-alongs. The accessories layer over professional clothing for quick character transformation between work duties and event participation.
Storybook Character Day Celebrations: March 2 events at libraries, bookstores, early learning centres and community festivals. The universally-recognised storybook character fits all-ages literary themes without requiring complex costume coordination.
Themed Parties & Hens Nights: Childhood nostalgia parties, storybook villain brunches, literary pub crawls or fancy dress events with a children's literature brief. Works as solo costume or coordinates with other fairytale and book character outfits for group photos.
How to Wear It
Layer over a white button-up shirt, black trousers and black shoes for the full literary look. For extra authenticity, carry a closed red umbrella or a stack of hardcover children's books as props. Skip modern accessories — keep jewellery minimal and hair tucked under the hat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the hat fit all head sizes?
The internal sizing band adjusts to fit most adult head circumferences from 56 to 60 cm. The structured felt brim distributes weight evenly for comfortable all-day wear.
Do I need to buy a separate shirt or pants?
Yes, this is an accessory kit only. Pair with your own white collared shirt and black trousers to complete the costume. The simple base clothing keeps costs down and allows rewear after the event.
Is this suitable for outdoor Book Week parades?
The lightweight felt hat and breathable gloves work well for outdoor March and August events in Australian climates. The hat brim provides light sun coverage, though we recommend sunscreen underneath for extended outdoor wear.
Can I wear the hat without the bow tie and gloves?
Absolutely. The striped hat is the most recognisable piece and works as a standalone accessory. Add the bow tie and gloves for a polished full-costume effect or wear the hat alone for casual dress-up photos.
How do I store the hat without crushing the stripes?
Store the hat upright in a hatbox or on a shelf where the brim can rest flat. Avoid stacking heavy items on top. If the crown creases during transport, reshape with your hands — the felt fabric holds its form once adjusted.
Care:Spot clean felt hat with damp cloth. Hand wash gloves and bow tie in cold water, air dry flat.
