Critics on social media expressed concern over a Halloween costume that resembled uniforms from a particular historical period. The costume, which included a jacket and hat, was marketed as a military outfit from the 1940s. Its description emphasized a vintage style look.

A company called Orion Costumes produced the costume. It was sold by major retailers, but they have since removed it from their websites. The retailers took this action after criticism emerged.

Further details about the costume and the criticism it faced are available. The costume's removal from websites suggests that the retailers took the criticism seriously.
