Ted Shackleford is a major character in all of the Curious George Trilogy set and TV series. my son LOVES curious George so he’ll be going as George, and my husband wants to be the man in the yellow hat. I love your hat idea! I used a razor blade to carve the cone into the shape I needed. What a great costume!

It's unknown where he lives, but certain clues from three movies and TV series (2006-2015) indicate that he lives in either Manhattan, New York City or Chicago, Illinois.

I loved your idea on The Man In The Yellow Hat Costume. See The Man with the Yellow Hat for correct name. Ted Shackleford (who's most often called simply The Man in the Yellow Hat) is a main character in the Curious George Trilogy Set and PBS Kids TV series (2006-2015). I also made brown mittens out of felt to keep his hands warm (we live in MN).

So thank you for your idea! It stayed securely in place and George was unharmed after being removed. He's George's ape father (parent) and a guardian and treats him like his own child. He is wearing black rain boots that we already owned, and all the trim on the hat and tie as well as his belt is black. Curious George TV Wiki is a FANDOM TV Community. I used brown cording to cover up the edges of the hat where the seams were. Curious George Wiki is a FANDOM Movies Community. The key item related to the man with the yellow hat is, of course, his yellow hat! So far this is the best costume I have seen on here. My daughter is 2 and is going to be Curious George. my son is four and he would absolutely love it!
He stood out by a mile (I guess that will happen when you’re wearing a two foot tall yellow hat and have a monkey on your back). After that, Ted fell into spiraling depression and put George into the New York Zoo.

He already has a white shirt the he wore one time to a wedding. Thanks so much for the ideas. Most signs point to New York. We used a stuffed George that my son had and I sewed his hands and feet to his shirt.

Thanks again! This page is a candidate for deletion. That costume came out so great! In 2006, it was revealed that the Man's full name is Ted Shackleford.The name "Ted" was only used for him in the Curious George film (2006) and Curious George 2 Follow that Monkey (2009). For the episodes, he helps Professor Wiseman but doesn't appear to earn any money from it. His current hobbies include bowling, studying nature, hiking, jogging, camping, bike riding, playing the tuba, sand castle building, going to the beach, gardening, reading, marathon running, board games, frog impressions, golf, bird watching, and "worm racing.". He's the dueteragonist of Curious George books/series, the main protagonist of the first film, the tritagonist of the second film, a minor character of the third film, Curious George 3: Back to the Jungle.


My son got so much great compliments and even won a couple of costume contests. The final and most important element was adding George. Would you be willing to sell your costume. There are also many instances and references to the man having his yellow hat as a child, attributing the way he got his yellow suit in the movie to Hollywood, less than the true story. I bought brown boots from Savers and a brown belt from Once Upon A Child.

What a smart idea! On March 3, 2007 Ted signed a legal apodtion paper, and has been living with George in and out of the city (at the country) until present day.
