Some costume pairings start with a conversation about who gets which character. With Thing 1 and Thing 2, that decision comes down to a number. These adult red full body jumpsuits feature white circular number badges identifying the mischievous helpers. Choose either character for your own outfit, or coordinate the two styles with a friend for a pairing drawn from Dr. Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat.
Red Suits with a Number at the Center
Thing 1 and Thing 2 are the helpers who emerge from the Cat in the Hat’s box and fly kites through the house. Their red suits, white number badges, and wild blue hair give this costume its direction. The jumpsuits provide the red outfit and numbered badge; you can supply the hair separately.
Consider making the badges the focus of your paired photographs. Face the camera for a few shots so both numbers are visible, then try mirroring each other’s gestures. Another option is to swap positions between photographs while keeping the numbered fronts in view. These are simple ways to use the differences between the two styles when posing together.
For a closer look at the numbering, the gallery includes a dedicated Thing 1 badge photograph. The front views show both character options, while the Thing 2 full body photograph gives you another reference for planning the pair’s red outfits.
Choose Your Thing Before Planning the Pair
The product offers two separate selections: Thing 1 and Thing 2, priced at $34.99 each. Each selection includes its corresponding jumpsuit. For a two-person costume, decide who will wear each number before making your selections. Keep both character names on your outfit list so each person knows which version to choose.
Either style can also be an individual costume. If you are organizing a larger group, consider placing the numbered pair beside each other in photographs. You could agree on matching poses or give each person a different gesture. Let the red suits and white badges guide the arrangement without adding extra costume pieces.
Add the Blue Hair Yourself
The costume is made from polyester spandex and includes hand and foot coverings as part of its full body design. A blue wig and shoes are not included. For the characters’ red-and-blue combination, add your own bright blue wig. A pair could choose similar wig shades or make those choices individually.
Include your own shoes in your outfit checklist alongside the wig. When discussing a coordinated pair, separate the supplied jumpsuits from these additions: each person needs to account for their own hair styling and footwear. You can use the same checklist for both wearers while recording their individual selections.
If you are dividing costume purchases between friends, assign the blue wigs separately from the numbered suits. Selecting Thing 1 or Thing 2 determines the jumpsuit you receive; neither character selection supplies the blue hair associated with the helpers.
Three Adult Size Labels for Either Number
Both Thing 1 and Thing 2 are offered in XS/S, M/L, and XL/XXL. Treat each wearer’s selection separately; the character number and size label are distinct choices. If one person is organizing both outfits, record each wearer’s name, chosen Thing, and selected size together. That keeps the pair’s choices clear without assuming both people want the same label.
