What's Included

The Kids WW2 Evacuee Boy Costume captures the poignant 1940s British schoolboy silhouette from Operation Pied Piper — the mass evacuation of children from wartime cities to countryside billets. The forest green jacket and cropped trousers form the core of an authentic period look, complete with the brown satchel and identification tag that defined the evacuee experience.
The forest green cotton-blend twill tailoring contrasts sharply with the navy peaked cap and brown satchel strap, creating an instantly recognisable mid-20th century British schoolboy aesthetic. The jacket features notched lapels with visible topstitching, set-in sleeves and functional pockets. The trousers end just below the knee in the classic 3/4 length typical of wartime school uniforms. The satchel has a functional flap closure and adjustable cross-body strap.
