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.
