Angus Young’s trademark schoolboy uniform combines a velvet blazer, shorts, tie and cap. That outfit is associated with his performances as AC/DC’s lead guitarist since the 1970s. This AC/DC Angus Young costume offers red, blue and green versions, with a difference in the supplied pieces that deserves attention before you choose your colour.
The AC/DC Angus Young Costume Velvet Schoolboy Suit uses polyester velvet. The Red Velvet Set, Blue Velvet Set and Green Velvet Set each cost $89.99. The shared price does not mean identical contents: red and green include a tie and cap, while blue leaves those accessories to your own selection.
Three Colours, Two Different Set Arrangements
Start with the package contents before settling on a colour. Red and green provide five pieces apiece, while blue offers a three-piece starting point for your costume:
- Red Velvet Set: jacket, shirt, tie, shorts and cap.
- Blue Velvet Set: jacket, shirt and shorts; no tie or cap.
- Green Velvet Set: jacket, shirt, tie, shorts and cap.
If you want the tie and cap supplied with the jacket and shorts, choose between red and green according to your preferred colour. If blue is your priority, you can add your own tie and cap. Make that accessory decision alongside the colour choice so your intended outfit and selected package agree.
For a group using different colours, a red wearer and a green wearer would each receive the same five types of garment. A blue wearer aiming for that same jacket, shirt, tie, shorts and cap combination would need to source the two missing accessories separately.
Pair the Shorts with Your Own Knee Socks
Guitar, socks and shoes are excluded from every colour set. Knee socks and black shoes are suggested additions for the classic Angus Young look. When comparing the three packages, account for those additions separately; choosing red or green supplies the tie and cap, but does not add footwear or a guitar.
For a Halloween outfit, you might choose your socks and shoes first, then decide whether to include a toy guitar in your photographs. If you select blue, add a tie and cap to your personal accessory list if you want those elements of the schoolboy uniform represented.
Keep the Jacket and Shorts in Your Fit Planning
The red five-piece outfit and blue three-piece outfit share the same size letters: S, M, L, XL and XXL; green follows that selection too. Keep your preferred colour, package contents and size together in your selection notes rather than recording only a letter.
For your own fit planning, consider both the jacket and shorts. You could note your chest, shoulder and waist measurements when preparing any sizing questions. If you intend to pose with a toy guitar, include that intention when describing how you hope to wear the costume.
Frame an Angus Young Guitar Photo
A Gibson SG-style toy guitar is a suggested addition for the classic look. Try a duck-walk pose for photographs, and consider a full-length composition that includes the shorts, your knee socks and your shoes. If you wear a cap, leave space for it in the frame alongside the jacket, tie and guitar.
For a second photograph, turn sideways in the duck-walk pose so the guitar and schoolboy shorts both remain visible. A front-facing shot can then show your chosen red, blue or green jacket with the shirt beneath it.
