In the 1770s and 1780s, the Founding Fathers embraced the European fashion trend of wearing wigs, a style that had been popular across the Atlantic for over a century. These wigs were not just fashionable but were also seen as a symbol of dignity and social standing. Our Colonial Powder Wig captures this historical essence, making it an ideal accessory for portraying notable figures like Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, Robert Livingston, and even King George III.
Crafted from white synthetic fibers, this wig offers both authenticity and comfort. It is a one-size wig that features a built-in stretch wig cap, ensuring a customizable fit for different head sizes. Additionally, we provide hair ties in light blue, red, and black to complement a variety of our colonial costumes.
We also include a stretch wig cap to ensure a secure fit and manage your natural hair. This added feature helps keep both your hair and the wig in place, providing a seamless and historically accurate appearance for reenactments, theatrical productions, and educational events.
