Top Cat Ben Cooper costume, from the 60s, possibly 1965 specifically. Ben Cooper, Inc. was founded in 1937 and ran all the way up until 1992. They had a wide variety of pop culture characters and figures throughout the years. If you've ever seen a photo of someone on Halloween through those years with a character mask and essentially a body suit with the character on it, instead of the character's actual costume, it was most likely a Ben Cooper costume. But the gorgeous masks are what really make these costumes iconic. Top Cat was offered with one of two colors for the mask, black or red. I personally enjoy the red mask more, I think it pops better. The costume itself, too, has quite nice artwork on it. Benny the Ball popping out of a trashcan in the background is a nice touch.
