Maori Boys Kapa Haka Costume Uniform

This Maori Boys Kapa Haka costume is a delightful and inexpensive way of dressing up for a Kapa Haka event. The costume accurately replicates that worn by adults to sing, dance, and do the haka, without the expense of the intricate woven bands and flax piupius.

This outfit is perfect for Nation Days and for young kapa haka groups, especially primary school.

Please note that this costume has been re-sized, so if you have ordered it before, please disregard the sizes you already have, and order based on the sizes below.

The Maori Boys/ Mens Kapa Haka costume is sized:

Boys Size	Age	Waist	Approx Length
Small	2-4	52-62cm	29cm
Medium	5-9	55-65cm	36cm
Large	10-12	58-68cm	38cm
XL	12-14	62-72cm	43cm

The set includes an adjustable headband, adjustable woven waist band (tatua), and the mock piupiu skirt, which is cotton knit strips on an adjustable black elastic band. (The black shorts worn underneath are not included).

The total effect is stunning.

How to order:
Measure your child's waist with a tape measure, then come back here to see which size that relates to.  Do not purchase by age, as obviously children can vary greatly in their waist measurement. 

The costume design was derived from the costume worn by the Otatara Cultural Club of Taradale, New Zealand. The design depicts New Zealand national bird, the Kiwi, which is surrounded by the Niho-Taniwha pattern ( dragons teeth) and the Three Baskets of Knowledge. This design was the work of three people, namely Ellen Coulter, Ngaupoko Batt, and Baden Batt. Only Baden is still alive, and he gives his unreserved consent to the costume and the Maori motifs used on them.

Note to schools: As these costumes are always in high demand, we cannot afford to have any out on approval. If you would like a sample, please order and pay for the costume(s) you require. Should you decide they are not what you require, we are very happy to receive the costume back (in original condition) for a full refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping). Many schools pay by credit card so the transaction is easy to do, and a refund is easy too.
