One of the most memorable characters in the film, Sleepy Hollow, is the Headless Horseman. When he was alive, he was a Hessian mercenary who loved the chaos that conflict brings. He was known to ride his horse and behead his enemies with his axe. Sometime during 1779, he was caught and beheaded. But someone brought him back to life.
The Headless Horseman looks sinister yet regal in his mercenary uniform. He wears a typical colonial outfit consisting of a jacket, jabot, and cuffs. He is also armed with his axe. Here’s everything you need to look like the Headless Horseman from Sleepy Hollow.
