This Mexican Day of the Dead Mens Costume is a formal Día de los Muertos ensemble combining Victorian tailcoat elegance with Mexican calavera tradition. The black jacket displays anatomically detailed white skeleton rib cage and sternum print, finished with red accents and a tall top hat.

Mock shirt dickey with white collar tucks inside jacket for layered formal look
Red bow tie (pre-tied) and cummerbund waist sash for traditional Catrin styling
Tall top hat with internal wire support and red ribbon band
White gloves complete the formal gentleman presentation
