We make a mummy costume for men in 2 ready-made styles, a full-body wrap suit and a piggyback illusion suit, and each one has a kids' or toddler version too, so one bandage look can dress the whole family. Our own sales data shows about 7 in 8 mummy costume units sold so far this season were kids' or toddler sizes, so this guide covers the family as well as the two men's picks.

What's the best mummy costume for men?
The Mummy Costume Morphsuit is our pick for a full head-to-toe wrap. It is a one-piece suit in 91% polyester and 9% elastane with the mummy look built in, so there is no separate wrapping to do. It pulls on through a pull-on closure with double zips and reinforced stitching at the stress points, comes in Medium, Large, XL and XXL, and the 4-way stretch fabric moves with you at a party rather than working loose the way real fabric strips do. Hand wash it cold and air dry it; there are no loose strips to rewind before the next wear.
What if you want the piggyback illusion instead?
The Mummy Costume Piggyback is our mens mummy costume for the double-take at the door. It is a one-size-fits-most suit in 100% polyester, built as a ride-on illusion so it looks as though a bandaged mummy is giving you a lift through the night, with an adjustable "stuff your own legs" detail for the passenger's dangling legs. The shirt is not included, so pair it with a plain top underneath. It is hand wash only, and we recommend turning it inside out before you wash it to protect the outer fabric.
Can the whole family match the mummy theme?
Yes, the mummy theme runs from toddler to adult in our range, and it is where most of our mummy costume sales actually land. The Kids Mummy Morphsuit is a three-piece set, a bandage-print top, pants and hood in the same 91% polyester and 9% elastane stretch fabric as the adult suit, sized by height across 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12 year bands and CE safety tested. The Kids Two Faced Mummy Costume gives a different way to play with the look: a hooded bandage-print jumpsuit with two masks built in, one facing forward and one facing back, and the front mask is removable, so the same costume works with both masks, one, or none. For the youngest member of the group, the Toddler Mummy Piggyback Costume gives a matching ride-on illusion in a one-size toddler fit, with a quick-release Velcro hood so a parent can get it off fast when a small child has had enough.
Put the piggyback illusion on an adult and the toddler version on the youngest child and the two ride-on effects read as one joke told twice, rather than two unrelated costumes. For a quieter match, the Mummy Costume Morphsuit and the Kids Mummy Morphsuit share the same 91% polyester and 9% elastane stretch fabric, so an adult-and-child pair reads as the same look in two sizes, even though the adult suit is one piece and the kids' version is a three-piece set. Either way, each person wears a version cut for their own age, and the group still reads as one bandaged family.
What sizes does the mummy costume come in?
No single chart covers all five mummy costumes. The adult Mummy Costume Morphsuit runs Medium to XXL, the Kids Mummy Morphsuit sizes by height across three bands, the two piggyback suits are one-size-fits-most, and the Two Faced Mummy runs a four-size kids' range. Every costume goes through over 30 measurement checks, and the table below shows which pieces need a size choice and which do not.
| Costume | Who it fits | Sizes on the product page |
|---|---|---|
| Mummy Costume Morphsuit | Adult | Medium, Large, XL, XXL |
| Mummy Costume Piggyback | Adult | One size fits most adults |
| Kids Mummy Morphsuit | Kids | By height: 4-6 yrs, 7-9 yrs, L (10-12 yrs) |
| Kids Two Faced Mummy Costume | Kids | Small, Medium, Large, X-Large (roughly 4-14 years) |
| Toddler Mummy Piggyback Costume | Toddler | One size fits most toddlers |
The Kids Mummy Morphsuit's three height bands run from 4 up to 12 years. Check your child's height against the size chart on the product page before you order, and size up if they land between two bands.
Where does the mummy costume come from?
The mummy costume traces back to real ancient Egyptian mummification, where bodies were wrapped in many layers of linen strips, but the costume you see at Halloween parties owes more to Hollywood than to archaeology. Horror films of the 20th century turned the bandage-wrapped mummy into a screen monster, and the look has been a Halloween staple ever since, according to Wikipedia's entry on the mummy in fiction. Our mummy costumes skip that step entirely: each one is a ready-made suit you put on, not real bandages you sit still to be wrapped in.
Frequently asked questions
Can a mummy costume work for the whole family, kids and adults together?
Yes. Our mummy line runs from toddler to adult in matching bandage-print styles, with both a full-wrap suit and a piggyback illusion suit available in adult and kids or toddler versions. Pairing the same style across ages, both piggybacks or both full wraps, reads as a coordinated family costume rather than separate unrelated outfits.
What is the best mummy costume men can buy without doing any wrapping?
The Mummy Costume Morphsuit, a one-piece suit with the mummy look built in, so there is no real fabric to wrap and nothing that can come loose during the night. It comes in Medium, Large, XL and XXL, and every costume goes through over 30 measurement checks.
Are Morphsuits true to size?
Yes, Morphsuits are cut to run true to size. Every costume goes through over 30 measurement checks, and in the mummy line the adult Morphsuit sizes Medium to XXL while the Kids Mummy Morphsuit sizes by height across three bands. Check the chart on the product page before you order, and size up if you fall between two.
How do you wash a mummy costume?
By hand, in cold water, then air dry: that goes for all five mummy costumes, and none of them should go in the washing machine. Turn the adult Mummy Costume Piggyback inside out before washing to protect the outer fabric, and reshape the toddler piggyback's stuffed legs after washing so the shape holds. Store the stretch suits flat or loosely folded so they keep their shape until next October.
