About Gilligan

Everyone's "little buddy", Gilligan was First Mate on the S.S. Minnow when it took it's fateful "three-hour tour" in the Hawaiian islands on the '60s comedy series, "Gilligan's Island." Played by actor Bob Denver, Gilligan was a young, goofy, bumbler who often accidentally foiled the seven castaways attempts to get off the island and make their way back home. In fact, it was Gilligan who got the group shipwrecked in the first place, having removed the magnet from the compass while cleaning it, thinking it was a speck of dirt and also throwing an anchor overboard... Without it being attached to a rope on the ship. Gilligan would frequently act naively or with complete stupidity, earning the ire of his friend and captain, the Skipper who would whack him over the head with his {captain's hat}.

Dressing up as Gilligan

Available in adult men's sizes are officially licensed costumes based on the iconic '60s character, Gilligan. Included is a longsleeved red rugby shirt with white collar, pale blue pants, and a Gilligan's trademark, floppy and disheveled sailor's hat with attached brown shaggy hair beneath it. Accessorize with a pair of white tennis shoes and some nautical themed items. Team up with a friend to dress as the Skipper or a friend with a black pigtail wig as Mary Ann!
