Can't get hold of a bowler hat. They are not allowed to wear England football shirts. Any suggestions? Thanks.

You are right in a sense.
England has many regions which can claim to have a particular costume. In London you have Pearly Kings and Queens, Morris Dancers in the West Country among many examples.
We also have traditional dress such as the bowler hat, cloth cap, etc.
Get down to your local fancy dress shop and pick their brains!

First of all, how was diagnosis made for his ADD? This is really important. For it to be done properly, he would need to be seen by a neurologist, have a brain scan done, have chemical analysis and hormones checked, and undergo psychological screening by professionals. Only then, can there be an assured diagnosis. Other than that, for example if a regular family doctor just "thought" he might have ADD, that is not enough. So lets move on from that... What your son is missing out on is proper parenting - I am not saying that to be mean, truly. You need to instill discipline in your home (and I do NOT mean punishment), scheduling and structure. This is important for all kids, and especially for boys. Do not let ANYTHING slide; consistency with parenting and discipline is very important; you and your husband need to be on the exact same page. Secondly, you have to STOP coddling him and making him a mama's boy; that is doing both him and you no good whatsoever. You need to do some reading, and maybe take some parenting classes. All the things you mention can be dealt with rather easily, with some of the things I mentioned before.

I'd go with the Morris dancer outfit - white trousers, white shirt, some bells worn around the calf of the leg, and a straw hat decorated with ribbons and flowers.
If you gave him a shortened broom handle decorated with bells and ribbons too, he'd have a great time showing off at school!
Morris dancers are the probably the best known English folk costumes.

Perhaps you could dress him up as St George. Grey joggers and hoody (as the chainmail suit) then make a kind of tunic (white pillowcase?), paint a red cross on the front and back. Toy sword from the dressing up box and a cardboard shield. Sorted!

Beefeater
Royal guard (Red coat bearskin hat)
A British bobby
Morris dancer
Spikycacti is referring to a pearly king/queen. That's a good idea.

Can you make a Top hat? They should be fairly easy I imagine.
He can then go as an upper class gentleman!
