Jack the Ripper Costume
When you wear a Jack the Ripper costume, you just might frighten away the other trick-or-treaters in your neighbor and end up walking alone. But, we suspect that Jack would prefer it that way. He was, after all, known for stalking the streets of London alone! Amazon has a great selection of Jack the Ripper costumes.
Jack the Ripper Adult Costume
Jack’s true identity was never discovered, but the time in which is lived is well known. This costume comes straight from those times.
This costume is a truly luxurious treatment for the serial killer. The outfit comes with a full-length brown coat, traditional Victorian for the late 1800s.
Also traditional is the attached capelet, which is like a short cape that goes over the shoulders. The white, ruffled jabot attaches under the coat.
This is probably a fairly close representation of what the real Jack might have worn. Available in adult sized Large and X-Large.

Morrisey, known for being a pretty dark musician, wrote a song about Jack the Ripper:
Who was Jack the Ripper? No one knows for sure. His name probably wasn’t even Jack. The name Jack was signed to a letter that was written by someone who claimed to be the killer. The letter was most likely a fraud, thought to have been written by a journalist looking to make a name for himself, but the name Jack the Ripper has stuck.
Historians generally believe that the Ripper murders, as they came to be known, were the work of a single serial killer. He preferred to haunt the streets of the Whitechapel district in London, which was known as a very poor area. One of the nicknames for the killer was The Whitechapel Murderer.
The case was never solved by Scotland Yards, but that has not stopped people from trying to solve it, even today. Ripperology is a phrase that has been created to describe the activity of studying the murders in an attempt to solve it. To date, there are well over 100 theories that attempt to answer the question of who the identity of Ripper really was. When you dress up in a Jack costume aka Jack the Ripper costume the night is yours!
