Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter costume from Alice in Wonderland...

Johnny Depp certainly likes to play an eclectic range of characters in the movies he stars in and that's no less true for his role in his latest Disney blockbuster, Alice in Wonderland, where he once again teams up with frequent collaborator and director, Tim Burton, as 'The Mad Hatter'.

Another repeat collaborator with Tim Burton is the costume designer responsible for this fabulous outfit, Colleen Atwood, who also worked with both men on Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Sleepy Hollow.

I make no apologies for the amount of photos of this costume as I know that a lot of amateur costume designers and Disney enthusiasts will want to see every detail, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are lots of Mad Hatter's running about this Halloween.

  6. I am currently making a mad hatter costume, but having trouble finding a jacket that looks similar. Is it silk? Is goodwill too chancy? Or should I start from scratch? I am already making the bandolier, hat, handkerchief and socks, I'm sure a jacket will be hard but if I can't get it anywhere else I have no choice!

  7. I thought the Mad Hatter had pants on in the movie not a skirt? Isn't the jacket darker than this as shown? I am having a costume made for my 9 year old and I want to be as precise as can be. Thank you.

  8. The Mad Hatter wore several different outfits in the movie.

    The costume pictured is his battle garb with kilt from the end of the movie.

  10. I think that the mad hatter coat was mad out of worn leather. Although at first I though it was cord for some reason. I am making a mad hatter costume too, its just that in a town of 2200, its hard to find a person that has the right materials that I need. :/
