Does Santa Claus wear?
There are regional differences in the type of suit that Santa Claus wears. Typically in the United States and United Kingdom, he wears a white fur trimmed red jacket and pants with a broad buckled belt, a matching hat, and black boots.
How did Santa get his costume?
The tradition of him wearing red began in the 1870s with the American cartoonist Thomas Nast, who introduced the red suit and cap, white fur lining and buckled black belt. Nast’s Santa may also have owed something to the English tradition of Father Christmas, which is quite different from the St Nicholas story.
How was Santa created?
The modern character of Santa Claus was based on traditions surrounding the historical Saint Nicholas (a fourth-century Greek bishop and gift-giver of Myra in present-day Turkey), the English figure of Father Christmas, and the Dutch figure of Sinterklaas (also based on Saint Nicholas).
Why did Santa turn red?
For inspiration, Sundblom turned to Clement Clark Moore’s 1822 poem “A Visit From St. Nicholas” (commonly called “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas”). (And even though it’s often said that Santa wears a red coat because red is the color of Coca-Cola, Santa appeared in a red coat before Sundblom painted him.)
Do you need a Santa costume every year?
If you are looking for a Santa costume that you would be able to use year after year, you would need to opt for something that is manufactured with profound quality materials and is easy to clean and maintain. On the other hand, if you want a costume for a single year, you can easily opt for a low-cost one that would not require maintenance.

Why do people always dress up as Santa?
It is traditional to have one person in the family dress as Santa. While this is usually done for kids, children aren’t the only ones that enjoy the sight. Most adults tend to get just as excited when they see Santa because they remember all those great moments from their childhood when they opened presents and enjoyed Christmas with their parents.
