The Mad Hatter has been redone once again, and this time by Johnny Depp and Tim Burton in the new, darker rendition of Alice in Wonderland. This of course inspired a boat load of people to dress as their new favorite semi-scottish, all-crazy tea time friend, The Hatter!

The Mad Hatter Costume can be done is so many ways; men, women, kids, bright colors, dark colors, orange hair, white makeup, big shoes, wild patterns, the list goes on. This really is a great year to be a Mad Hatter.

I’m liking this trend of do-it-your-way costuming where we don’t stick to the exact replica of the movie, but we are encouraged to add our own flair, our own attitude, our own flavor of crazy-like-a-hatter swagger, and of course, our own futterwackin’ dance moves.

Head over to the Mad Hatter Costume page and see for yourself all the different ways to be as crazy as a Hatter!

Until recently it’s been rather difficult to find Victorian era style clothing. Now it’s 2010 my friends and retro clothing just got much, much older. The Victorian era style is coming back and it’s quite apparent in many places.

Mable’s guide to Steampunk Clothing is a great place to start when putting together your own custom costume.

Check out BuyCostumes for their Steampunk kits; if you’re just looking for a quick one-night costume.

Of course there is even the now famous Steampunk Emporium if you are looking for high quality everyday wear. They have excellent outfits ready to buy for many Victorian/Steampunk characters.

Where do you prefer to buy your Steampunk gear?

Why can’t all products have more than 1 use? Jackets are useful, but usually only for 1 occasion. Two jackets in one awesome reversible jacket equals uber hip and ready for anything.

Get one for yourself and suddenly you are reducing and reusing all in one stylish and comfortable product! This way when you borrow the cash from your friends you can let them know you’re buying it for the planet.

Check out Cordarounds for the Reversible Smoking Jacket available in a few styles.

P.S. act fast cuz their products are made in San Fransisco and only available online.

What if I told you I could go back in time, pick up some hot retro shoes from the ’50s and bring them back to you the next day? Would you give me money to get them for you or just a high five?

What if I said my time machine was a cardboard box I colored with crayons in my closet … would you give me money or just a strange look?

Well, then how about I just make it easier for the both of us and you can pick your own damn retro shoes from Endless.com. They specialize in not only free shipping, but free overnight, free two day shipping, AND even free return shipping if you don’t approve.

Retro & vintage shoes aren’t super common these days, but they are making a big resurgence in the fashion world that’s for sure.

Let me guess, you’re the kind of guy who needs the authentic Burton / Depp style Mad Hatter Hat? Not one of those fairy tale mad hatters full of bright colors and goofy faces. Right? right.

Well, you can take the hipper cheaper DIY route and make one on your own.

OR, you can have someone else make you a Burton style mad hatter hat custom sized to your tea lovin’ head.

OR, buy a ready made mad hatter top hat from the #1 costume shop online; with crazy orange hair, without hair (shown in picture), or even small cocktail party size.

Nothing goes better with the hat than the entire Johnny Depp style mad hatter costume. Remember the flashy orange eyebrows!

Can’t get enough Burton/Depp costumes? Fit yourself into a mysteriously wonky Willy Wonka costume or of course a Mad Hatter Costume.
