The Kids WW2 Evacuee Boy Costume recreates the wartime British schoolboy look from the 1940s Blitz era — a six-piece historical set designed for Book Week, 100 Days of School celebrations, history projects, and vintage-themed events.
The grey jacket features a notched lapel cut with an attached white collar and brown tie sewn in for authentic period detail. The three-quarter length grey trousers sit mid-calf in classic 1940s evacuee silhouette. The brown flat cap and cross-body satchel complete the era-accurate schoolboy appearance, while the identification tag on cord mirrors the labelling system used for children evacuated from British cities during wartime.

Perfect For
Book Week & School History Projects: Whether it's recreating Goodnight Mister Tom, Carrie's War, or general WW2 literature study, this costume brings wartime Britain to life for historical character dress-up and classroom presentations.
100 Days of School Celebrations: The vintage schoolboy theme fits the "dress as an old-timer" brief perfectly — the evacuee era styling gives children a concrete historical period to embody for the centenary milestone.
WW2 Commemorations & Historical Events: Ideal for Anzac Day, Remembrance Day school assemblies, heritage open days, living history events, or any vintage-themed fancy dress party celebrating 1940s Britain.
How to Wear It
Pair with black or brown school shoes and knee-high socks for the complete evacuee look. A vintage-style school satchel prop or a small cardboard suitcase adds extra wartime authenticity for photos and presentations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size should I order for my child?
This costume is available in M (standard medium, suits primary school age) and XL (teen sizing, suits older children and early secondary age). Check the size chart image on the product page for height and chest measurements to find the best fit.
Are shoes and undergarments included?
No — the listing includes the six costume pieces detailed above (jacket with attached shirt/tie, trousers, cap, satchel, ID tag). Pair with your child's own black or brown school shoes and dark socks to complete the evacuee look.
Is this costume suitable for Book Week?
Absolutely — it's perfect for WW2-era children's literature characters like William Beech from Goodnight Mister Tom, or any wartime evacuee story. The authentic 1940s styling fits historical fiction themes beautifully for Book Week dress-up.
How do I style the cap and satchel for an authentic look?
Wear the flat cap tilted slightly forward in classic schoolboy style. The cross-body satchel sits across the chest with the flap facing outward — fill it with a small notebook or handkerchief for added period detail during school presentations.
Can this work for 100 Days of School celebrations?
Yes — the wartime evacuee theme fits the "dress as someone from 100 years ago" brief (the 1940s being close enough for the spirit of the day). The vintage schoolboy styling gives children a clear historical character to embody for the centenary milestone.
