This is a simple costume in the sense that all details are just in the textiles that form the costume. It is still great for Halloween, and also for "Book Week", as the legend of Thor is something that appears in so many literary sources.
In the 11th century, it was recorded that a statue of Thor appeared in the Temple at Uppsala in Sweden in the center of a triple throne. Thor was supposed to rule the sky, including controlling thunder and lightning, winds and storms, fine weather and fertility. Also, "Thor", with his mace, looks like the Roman god "Jupiter". The people in the area would make sacrifices in Thor's case when plague or famine threatened. As an interesting fact supposedly around 1030 AC, an English preacher, Wulfred, was lynched by assembled Germanic pagans for "profaning" a representation of Thor.
In modern times, back in 1962, American comic book artist Jack Kirby, Marvel Comics editor Stan Lee and his brother Larry Lieber created a series featuring Thor as a superhero. However in this version of Thor, the God is portrayed as a clean-shaven blonde, instead of red-haired and bearded. Lee and Kirby included Thor as a founding member of their superhero team the Avengers. Thor has been portrayed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe by Australian actor Chris Hemsworth, appearing in Thor, The Avengers, Thor: The Dark World, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Doctor Strange, Team Thor, Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame and Thor: Love and Thunder. Thor has also been featured in comic books by other publishers, and even portrayed as a villain. It is even interesting that within another creation, writer Neil Gaiman, in Sandman's comics, Thor is portrayed as a ridiculous but amusing person, practically a clown, who wields a tiny funny hammer.
