Founded in the late 1930s, Ben Cooper, Inc. was an American costume manufacturer that became synonymous with Halloween for generations of trick-or-treaters. From the 1950s through the mid-1980s, the company ranked among the nation's three largest Halloween costume makers, producing countless inexpensive outfits featuring colorful plastic masks and lightweight vinyl smocks. Whether dressing up as a classic monster, superhero, or popular cartoon character, chances are that generations of American kids wore a Ben Cooper costume at some point. The company's instantly recognizable designs became an enduring symbol of Halloween nostalgia, earning its founder such colorful nicknames as the "Halston of Halloween" and the "High Priest of Halloween." Although the company's heyday ended in the late 1980s, its wonderfully kitschy costumes remain beloved collectibles and cherished reminders of Halloween's golden age.
Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods.

Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
