🇺🇸 Children’s James Armistead Lafayette Costume – Revolutionary War Spy & Black History Ensemble
James Armistead Lafayette was an enslaved African American man whose courage and intelligence helped change the course of the American Revolutionary War. Serving as a spy for the Continental Army, he infiltrated British camps and supplied critical intelligence that contributed to key American victories and the eventual defeat of British forces. After the war, he was granted his freedom and publicly recognized for his extraordinary service and bravery.
This historically inspired costume allows children to honor James Armistead Lafayette and learn about his vital role in America’s fight for independence.

Great quality and excellent service. We needed the costume ASAP and the seller sent it out on a Saturday so we could receive the next Monday. My son wears youth L or XL usually, so we went with the XL and it fit great. The measurement chart was accurate. Highly recommend!
