Build your own Highwayman Costume
Highwayman outfit
The Highwayman is donning an ensemble that includes a dark burnt-orange, long-sleeve tunic with lace-up detailing at the chest, giving it a classic, rustic feel. The tunic has darker cuffs, with gold or brass cufflinks, though a set of leather vambraces might work as an alternate. The tunic is tucked into high-waisted brown trousers, which are secured with a large dark-brown belt featuring a prominent brass buckle. This belt complements the outfit and adds contrast to the attire. The Highwayman also wears a long, floppy hat, matching the color of the trousers, both of which contribute to creating a coordinated look. Notably completing the ensemble is a dark grey mask that covers the eyes, which hints at a possibly secretive or mysterious nature to their character. The mask suggests a level of preparation or intent beyond the casual attire. Lastly, Highwayman's choice of footwear consists of tall leather Wellington-style boots in a matching brown color that seamlessly integrate with the trousers. Overall, the outfit has an adventurous and somewhat stealthy character, suitable for a figure of intrigue.
About Highwayman
The character known as The Highwayman is featured in The Songs of the Dark Lantern and is one of the characters in the Tavern Keeper's tavern. In one scene, he is seen standing in the top floor window of the tavern, observing other characters. He interrupts Wirt's explanation of how he and his brother got lost and performs "The Highwayman Song" in the tavern. The camera takes on a fisheye lens effect during his performance. The toymaker has created a toy representing him which can be seen in the opening song of the show. The character is voiced by Jerron "Blind Boy" Paxton. The Highwayman first encounters Fred the horse when he robs a carriage driver on St. Leonard's Bridge and the horse follows the driver inside the covered bridge. After threatening Fred, the highwayman forces him to promise not to tell anyone about what he had seen. When Fred is eventually forced to tell the judge about the highwayman's actions, the highwayman takes Fred as his horse and forces him to become an outlaw. Later on, The Highwayman is at the tavern where he sings "The Highwayman Song" when Wirt, Gregory, and Beatrice arrive at the tavern.
