Unique Custom Costumes, Production Design, Personal Tailoring & Fabrication
Fox Television sent a performer to wear their “Headless Horseman” costume at 2014’s Salt Lake Comic Con, but without the weapon they used in the series.
So McGrews’ production designer Hraefn Wulfson created a specialty prop for Fox, using alternative materials to abide by the convention’s rules that forbid metal weapons.
Custom headless horseman costume we designed for Rocky Mountain Outfitters’ Haunted Wagon Rides attraction, 2014.
We designed it so each of the pieces are each individually made for easy care and washing/drycleaning. The horseman’s head/neck apparatus itself weighs less than a pound. Great for visibility, safety and maneuverability.
When you create a costume like this, you cannot simply alter existing items (such as your vest and cape) to make it work. The proportions and drape will be completely wrong. We built the fake neck/shoulder apparatus, and only then started patterning/draping the waistcoat and cape.

Sofa with new custom slipcovers in a textured linen blend fabric, a bit like monk’s cloth. The skirts are intentionally longer here to drape a bit on the floor, in a ‘shabby chic’ aesthetic. Pretty.
