Robin Hood Merchandise – Gear for Outlaws
A bow, a hood, a forest full of allies: the legend of Robin Hood is one of the oldest pop-culture phenomena there is – told since the Middle Ages, long before anyone knew the word "franchise." The outlaw of Sherwood Forest, who lightens the rich's pockets and looks after the poor, has been reinvented in countless ballads, books, films, and shows; companions like Little John, Friar Tuck, and Lady Marian are as much a fixture as his eternal rival, the Sheriff of Nottingham. At Elbenwald you'll find a compact selection built around the hero in green – with a focus on costume and dress-up, for anyone who wants to side with the forest folk at Halloween, a themed party, or a Renaissance faire.
What defines Robin Hood?
The adaptability. Because the legend belongs to no one, every era got to invent its own Robin – from the noble knight to the sly trickster to the folk hero with a political message. That's exactly what makes the character such a rewarding costume: a Robin Hood costume needs no explanation, works at any party, and leaves plenty of room to play anywhere between heroic and tongue-in-cheek. Add to that the timeless kit – hood, doublet, belt, bow – which pairs freely with garb from the medieval range for extra detail. And the best part: the role comes with no obligations. Whether you actually redistribute wealth at the party is entirely up to you.
