Benjamin Franklin History & Costumes

Although he was never president, Benjamin Franklin is one of only two men to find himself in such distinguished company on American currency, his face gracing the 100 dollar bill and as one of the important names signed on the Declaration of Independence, instrumental in the United States breaking away from Great Britain. An eloquent statesmen, writer and inventor, Benjamin Franklin was a renaissance man way ahead of his time.

Adults and children can dress as this great and colorful (hey, Ben had a sense of humor, too!) character in american history with a variety of costumes in sizes to fit everyone. The Ben Franklin costume comes with a pair of black knickers in a velvety material and a matching long jacket trimmed in gold to go over the top. A Benjamin Franklin wig with his famous hairstyle is sold separately as are white knee-socks, Colonial shoes, glasses, and a ruffled Colonial jabot and cuffs set.

For a much simpler look for school plays or an all-in-one accessory kit for the finishing touches, the Heroes in History kit fits both adults and children with a Benjamin Franklin wig and glasses.
