Pre Order Your Wilfred Costume Here And Get $10 Off

Guess who has the Wilfred Costume?  THESE GUYS!!!

The Wilfred Costume is Available!  Well, almost.  It will be available  to ship October 5th here.  But you can go ahead and preorder the Wilfred Costume using  coupon code FX10AFF to get $10 off!

Now lets check this baby out…

Wilfred Costume Comparison

This Wilfred Costume is sold exclusively through FX, so you can be sure that it is as close to the original costume as you are going to get.  From the images above you can see it is pretty spot on.

The costume has jersey lining with a ‘super soft’ exterior.  If you live in a colder(-er) climate, this costume will be very snug and warm on Halloween night.

It is one size fits most (up to 6’4″, 250 lbs!), so don’t expect your costume to fit exactly like Jason Gann’s.  I don’t think there will be any costume police out to give you a hard time about it.  The costume does feature elastic at the wrists and ankles so that it won’t drag the ground and you also won’t have to worry about getting it hemmed before the big day.

While I’m sure Amazon or similar will be coming out with rip off Wilfred costumes (I can’t believe there’s no grey dog costumes out there yet!) this is going to be the best because it is put out by FX.  I assume FX is allowing ‘preordering” because they are expecting high demand.  If you’re serious about being Wilfred for Halloween, I would order now.

Stay tuned for our next post, where will discuss various items you can use as Wilfred costume accessories to complete your overall look, as well as stand out should you not be the only Wilfred at the party.

Someone REALLLLLLLLY Loves The Wilfred Costume (Video)

We received this video last night, and I HAD to post it.  I think this guy may be a ‘bit off his rocker.’  Or, maybe he’s just happy the Wilfred costume got him laid (First time in awhile, eh?)  Either way, if he doesn’t crack you up, you have no sense of humor.

Accessories To Go With Your Wilfred Dog Costume

The opportunity to be wacky and crazy is simply irresistible for many people come Halloween night. And for this year they can exactly do that by becoming one of the craziest character on TV these days—Wilfred the dog. Based on the popular FX TV series entitled Wilfred, it tells of the story of a suicidal young man named Ryan, played by Elijah Wood and his neighbor’s dog, Wilfred played by Jason Gann. The two came together when a neighbor, Jenna, asks Ryan to look after Wilfred for the day. Ryan is taken aback as he sees Wilfred as an Australian man in a dog suit, while everyone else sees Wilfred as just a dog. Wilfred is protective of his owner and manipulative toward Ryan, to whom he becomes a mentor. He smokes cigarettes and marijuana, drinks beer, eats junk food, and is prone to various vices.

Wilfred Dog Costume AccessoriesWilfred dog costumes for Halloween are now available on the net if you want to get one. It’s basically a one piece outfit that is made out of a shaggy type of cloth. This costume is loosely fitting and has a hood with an open face. Attached to the hood are floppy ears hanging on each side. The bare face is that of a man with a painted black nose. There is really nothing remarkable about the outfit if you look at it but the popularity it is raking in nowadays will surely make this costume a hit this Halloween.

However if you really want to turn up the wackiness of this Wilfred dog costume and have more fun on Halloween night, you can do that by not only wearing the costume but also getting the accessories that complete the outlandish image this character projects. Aside from the attire itself, these accessories that define Wilfred the dog are available everywhere on the web. This includes items that show Wilfred’s passion for smoking cigarettes and pot, beer drinking, and junk foods items just to name some of his vices. You can actually let your creative juices run to come up with fun and original ideas in making this costume more outrageous.

Here are several suggestions for accessories which will surely take your Wilfred dog costume to the next level.

The Giant Bear
One of the familiar features of the show is the large, battered and abused bear that is carried by Wilfred. Having this item to carry around will certainly make your costume more authentic and fun. You can make it appear as if it is worn out to make it appear close to what we see on the show. Try considering this one from Amazon:

  • Jumbo Stuffed Teddy Bear – This large stuffed and cuddly teddy bear will be perfect to complete the costume. This huggable teddy bear measures 46″ and features imported polyester fibers. Certainly you can find creative ways in making this teddy bear look like it has been violated continuously by a horny dog.

Wilfred Dog Costume Ideas
Jumbo Fake Marijuana Joint
Of course you do not want to be seen in public carrying a real marijuana joint on Halloween night. But you can always have the fake ones and this oversized doobie or fake marijuana joint is just the perfect prop to further raise the level of eccentricity of your Wilfred costume. This fake and oversized doobie measures 14 inches in length. Such an accessory would certainly get attention while you are making your rounds during the party.

Make Your Own Fake Bong
Another very familiar item that could be seen with Wilfred on the show is the bong and this could be another amusing and fun accessory to add and enhance your costume. If you are not inclined to actually purchase one from the net since it would be rather impractical then make it yourself. Here is an easy procedure to guide you:

  • Find a two liter or 16 oz bottle or a can. At about 5 cm from the bottom of the bottle or the can, punch a hole measuring 1/8 inch (3mm) to 1/4 inch (6mm) in diameter which will serve as the entrance for the smoke. Find a tube, either metal pipe or a hallowed pen with the appropriate size and insert it in the hole at the bottom. Now you have your (reak) fake bong. For further realistic effect use dry ice to make it appear that you are actually smoking something.

The Wilfred costume is actually a pretty ordinary one piece outfit that is made out of a shaggy type of cloth. It is loosely fitting and has a hood with an open face. Attached to the hood are floppy ears hanging on each side. The face is not covered but that of a man with a painted black nose instead. There is really nothing special about this outfit itself and is really just another animal costume if not for the popularity it is raking in nowadays. That is why it would be safe to say that this will be the “it” costume this year that will surely draw delight and recognition at any party and event on Halloween night.

Getting ahead of everyone else by ordering at an earlier time would be a good decision to make in order not to rush when Halloween time comes. Online costume sites and shops will surely be offering this attire so it would be wise to start looking for it in these outlets. The internet may also be the only place to get the costume this year since this is just a new outfit and as of August 31st, is still not available (which seems crazy to me!). In addition, you may find good deals for getting it earlier too thus saving you in cost. Surely as Halloween draws to a near, demands for this costume will rise and so is the price tag.

If you have trouble finding the outfit, learn how to make a Wilfred Costume.

If you are not keen on purchasing a Wilfred costume, the good news is that this is something that you can do yourself. Just try to find an overall gray outfit with a hood or gray pants and a sweatshirt with a hood. Sew two gray socks on each side of the hood to serve as ears, then use another set of gray socks also to serve as paws, and lastly a stocking for a tail. With the use of a black eyeliner, paint your nose just like that of a dog and you have a great Wilfred costume for Halloween that will surely draw attention and approval among party goers.

So have great fun this coming Halloween season by wearing a Wilfred costume. This is a witty character that many fans of the tv show adore and love. It may be ordinary in appearance but it surely will draw attention during the party.

How To Make A Wilfred Costume For Halloween

how to make a wilfred costume1.    Buy grey sweat pants with a grey hooded sweatshirt from your local thrift store or Walmart.  If you want to be different then you can opt for other colors such as white, black, or brown. Women can use a feminine color like pink or purple if they like.  Footed pajamas would be an excellent option as well.

The hooded sweatshirt will form the head and body of the Wilfred costume and should be the same color as the sweat suit.   It is very important that you purchase these items with comfort as the main consideration.  Try to find those with a shaggy or furry fabric if you can but make sure that you are not allergic to them.

2.    The next thing that you will do is to cut out and sew big floppy ears to the hood of the sweat suit or the sweat shirt. You can do this by getting a separate piece of cloth of similar fabric to the sweatshirt then cutting long floppy ears just like that of Wilfred and then sewing them on each side of the hood.  Fabric stores may even have gray furry fabric that you can use.  As an alternative, you can use socks to create the dog’s ears.

3.    The next things to you need is the paws and tail. Get two matching socks and slip them on you hands. Do the same thing for your feet as well. Then create your tail from a stocking which will be attached at the bottom of the sweatshirt.

4.    Lastly, for the finishing touches. You know that Wilfred actually has a man’s face with just a painted nose rather than an attached fake one. For this task, you can use women’s eyeliner or face paint to create a black triangle over your nose similar to a dog. That is actually all you need to complete the overall look.   Of course, you can add your own flare if you like.  A bear accessory wouldn’t be a bad idea either.

There you have it, a simple and easy procedure on how to make a Wilfred costume for Halloween. Enjoy and have a great fun.

Will The Wilfred Costume Be The ‘It’ Costume For Halloween 2011?

Halloween is fast approaching and everyone is starting to think about who they are going to be on this fun filled night.  Aside from the usual costumes such as a ghost, vampire, wolf, and superheroes, there will always be that one costume which will be the ‘hot’ outfit of the season. For 2011, I’m willing to bet the hot item will be the Wilfred costume. What is this particular outfit all about and why does it have the such potential for being the top dog (pun intended) in terms of costumes this coming Halloween? Let me give you my theory.

Homemade Wilfred Costume

The Wilfred costume comes from the popular TV series on FX called Wilfred. This show was first aired in Australia and was just recently remade for the United States. This very popular comedy series features the wacky and witty character of Wilfred, a man with an Australian accent dressed in a dog outfit.  The story tells of a depressed man named Ryan who is played by Elijah Woods. His character believes he is getting nowhere in his life and plans to kill himself. Wilfred on the other hand is a dog whom Ryan was asked to watch by a neighbor at the time he attempted suicide. However Ryan sees Wilfred as a real person, played by Jason Gann, instead of the animal is.

The Wilfred costume that is worn by Jason Gann is actually a pretty ordinary one piece outfit that is made out of a shaggy type of fabric. It loosely fits Wilfred and has a hood with an open face. Attached to the hood are floppy ears hanging on each side. The face of Wilfred features a nose which is painted black rather than an attached fake dog nose. The good thing is that this is easy to do with eyeliner or face paint. If you think about it, there is nothing remarkable about this outfit. You may even think that it is shabby looking.  However with the Wilfred fan base growing exponentially with each episode, expect a deluge of demand when Halloween time comes for this particular costume.

Despite the fact that a Wilfred costume is basically for adult men, it can still appeal to women, young boys and girls, as well as toddlers who will certainly look adorable in such a costume. It therefore will have a wide appeal among many people regardless of age and gender.  That is why it is smart to start looking for the costumes as early as possible to avoid the mad dash to get the  remaining stocks when Halloween approaches. I will be buying my from the internet whenever it comes out, and will let you guys know when it is available.

It’s unbelievable that these costumes are not available yet.  There are a few ‘dog costumes’ out there, but they look nothing like Wilfred.  If you are having difficulty finding a Wilfred costume in time for your costume party, you can try making it yourself as it is pretty easy to do with the proper fabric and some simple sewing skills.  We will be posting instructions on how to do this soon
