10 Famous TV Dads: Paul Teutul Sr. Costume Ideas

Paul Teutul Sr. is best known for appearing on the reality show American Chopper with his sons, Paul Teutul, Jr. and Michael Teutul. He is Number four on our list of Dads and the first Reality Show father, someone who portrays himself, so to speak, on television.

The show centered around the the dynamics of the family relationships as they ran their business, Orange County Choppers, OCC, a custom motorcycle manufacturer founded by Paul Teutul, Sr. and Paul Teutul, Jr. in 1999.

As with many of the other TV dads on this list, to get the Paul Sr. look you could add the attitude and voice as much as any costume. Choose a creative Halloween costume and have the benefit of being able to wear the clothes after Halloween!

Try the Trucker Human Hair Moustache. Choose color. Can be shaped in different ways and is one option for getting something like his distinctive 'stache.

The shirt Paul Sr. is wearing may be out of stock, but the Mens OCC: Dragon Bike Muscle Tee is a great price with a design you'll love.

He's known for his tattoos. One way to achieve this look is to get a pair of tribal biker Tattoo Sleeves. There are other styles as well.

OCC Style Gatorz/ibeams Sunglasses: Radiator and Razor Polished Aluminum Frame Orange Gradient Lenses are the same sunglasses Paul Teutul Jr. from Orange County Choppers wears on the TV show American Choppers, but NO OCC logo in the arm.

Orange County Chopper Ao Safety Eyewear Occ301 Safety Glasses Black Alum Frame Red Mirr: safety glasses
OCC logo on temple or lens: In the shop with power tools, all machinery, out doors with gravel flying, safety glasses are the way to go.


Too rarely do you get the opportunity to include something like this to a costume! Orange County Choppers Full Throttle EDT Spray Cologne 3.4 Oz 



Get props, including leather-look jackets for your motorcycle or biker costumes. Find budget-friendly items to round out your group costumes. Included are some Steampunk goggles!

OCC is best known for their extravagant chopper designs. A chopper is a type of motorcycle that was modified from an original motorcycle design or custom made. A chopper will have a longer frame accompanied by a stretch front end. Clearly not being an expert on Choppers I'll just say I'm very impressed by the workmanship and design of these machines.

Not only does Paul Sr. know how to design and build choppers, he has very good business savvy and keeps his brand in the limelight.
