Carbon Costume

Elvis Cridlington (voiced by several actors including Steven Kynman and Andrew Hodwitz) is a character from the long-running BBC show Fireman Sam.  He is a firefighter at Pontypandy Fire Station.  Elvis is brave, but easily excitable, which can sometimes get him into trouble with his strict Station Officer.  Elvis dons several uniforms throughout the course of the series, so when crafting your costume, be sure to focus on finding reflective work gear in shades of blue and yellow.  No matter which season you choose to recreate, don’t forget your sturdy black boots and yellow helmet with face shield.
