Learn More About The Santa Hat Drawing

A Santa suit is the costume of a person portraying the character of Santa Claus.

In America, this usually consists of boots, red pants, and a red coat with white fur trim. Another integral part is the Santa hat, also red with white trim.

This design is attributed to the artwork of Thomas Nast, published in the magazine Harper's Weekly.

It has also been used prominently in advertising by the Coca Cola Company.

The cap is called a nightcap. Men's nightcaps in cold northern Europe were often long and pointed, with a ball on the tip similar in some ways to the modern beanie.

It was long enough to keep the back of the neck warm, much as a scarf does.

Elves and gnomes were also said to wear this type of cap. One of its most famous wearers was Ebenezer Scrooge, the main character of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, who was visited at bedtime by the Ghosts of Christmas Past.
