When it comes to enviable occupations, there are really only two that come to mind… writing about costumes (obviously), and owning and operating our very own chocolate factory (duh!).

Since we already do that first great job, we like to imagine all of the possibilities of the second; the new candy discoveries just waiting to be dreamt up! Everlasting treats that never fade, jelly beans that don’t make your mouth turn bright awful colors, and taffy that can be stretched around the equator if need be. Only a true genius could come up with such things and make them a reality for millions of happy children around the globe. We could be heroes to all of humanity! Not to mention all of the taste testing that inevitably comes with the gig.

Since were already tied up here, we think you look mighty ready to get your candy career started. But, you could look a whole lot more ready by emulating the sugar king himself, Willy Wonka. That’s why you need this Men’s Deluxe Willy Wonka costume. It looks just like the one worn by Gene Wilder in the film classic, with its long purple coat, frilly shirt front, gold bow tie, and even his signature brown top hat. Now all you need to do is somehow gain access to a world class factory, contract a premium sugar supplier, and find some workers who have some mad rhyming skills and then you’ll be all set. Send us some samples, OK?
