The strait jacket is a tangible representation of a state of mind that we would all find terrifying! If you think about Halloween as fright-night then this most fundamental of fears must be included in our list of costumes for Halloween.
This costume is often referred to as a "straight Jacket", although the correct name is "strait" which means restrain. With a functional version, the arms are tied behind the wearer so that movement is restricted. The version shown here is from our friends at www.fancydress.com and is an altogether more comfortable version than the real thing. This one has slits in the sleeves so that the wearer can slip their arms out!
