HalloweenCostumes.com British Bobby Helmet, Black

A What Helmet?It's hard enough to break the ice and a costume party with your day-to-day appearance obscured. So we always recommend coming prepared with a good bit of trivia at the tip of your tongue. Here's one: in pre-Victorian England, the politician Sir Robert Peel oversaw the creation of London's first organized police force. And to curry favor with the public (who resented the red coat), Peel made sure the new patrolmen wore black jackets and tall wool hats with big, shiny badges. To this day, the policemen are so tied up in the legend of Sir Robert Peel, they are referred to as "Peelers," or "Bobbies," after their creator. Cool, isn't it?Embrace The BobbyNow that you have your trivia, you need the accessory to match! This British Bobby Helmet of ours is 100% polyester and uses molded felt and an inner size-adjustment band to give you the perfect fit. Of course, it wouldn't be a Bobby hat without that distinctive silver-tone metal crest and royal medallion on the front of the cap. Bring a flashlight, or maybe a tame horse, to pull the outfit together -- and have your trivia practiced and ready to go at the punch bowl!
