Ok so after emailing Old Dominion forge and being told that they are not taking sword orders due to a two year back-order log, What else do you have? I mean they look like good swords but logisitcally I dont want to wait two years before I get another cutlass. What I need this cutlass for is not just some pretty show piece. I actually need a functional cutlass that I cant fight with. I am in a stage combat group that requires a high quality sword for functional use. Any ideas?

Finally after 5 very long weeks my Jack Sparrow coat arrived today from Carliles. There's one small flaw, I was at an AA meeting when the USPS stopped by so I have to wait a whole nother day to get the the thing from the post office tomorrow. I guess one more day is not going to kill me. The thing that might actually cause a heart attack is when I go out and intentionally age it while dragging it behind my truck on the beach. I might even use a little sun to slightly lighten up the fabric.

Okay, I'm probably going to make it anyway, cuz I want one and I only work in leather, but what are the historical justifications for a light, buff leather justacorps? I started out making a simple civilian early 1700s coat, but saw the pattern offered by Reconstructing History, with the enormous cuffs.....and I may just go that way. I've made three full-length theatrical pirate coats already6 out of leather, but I'm thinking of going more "proper" with the construction of this one. Thoughts?

Since there are now a few of us Pub members with Etsy sites, and more (I think) are considering opening up shops of their own on that forum, I thought it would be nice to have a place we could post updates of when we add new things for folks to check out. And, well, you know, with Christmas coming and all, it seemed like a good time to start this thread. So, ck here for announcements about all the things you can buy, made by your fellow Pub members who have set up Etsy shops to sell their fine wares. Better than Ebay, as there is no bidding...you see it, you like it, you buy it. Easy! I have added a few new items to my shop today, so click on the link in my signature,…

I've pretty much chosen to buy a Queen Anne kit. Colonial Gun Works sells the Pedersoli Queen Anne kit at the lowest price I've seen ($200). So... - Anyone ever bought anything from Colonial Gun Works and how was the experience? - I've read reviews of the Pedersoli kit and more than one person has snapped off part of the trigger guard while trying to bend it to fit the stock. Anyone built the Pedersoli kit and Not had a problem with this, or have a suggestion about how to make the metal more pliable prior to bending? TIA!

First off.... WoW! Reconstructing History (RH) has really done their homework on the Justaucorps and it shows. The retail price on this pattern is $25, so some of you that are used to paying 99 Cents for a simplicity pattern might balk at the cost, but for what you get, its a real bargain! The pattern comes with: 1) Booklet on the History of the Justaucorps This is an outstanding piece and makes the info on my website pale in comparison. The kicker here is that RH includes line drawings and museum refrence numbers for 5 extant garments. From "Lord Clapham" dolls to the Sligo, Ireland Bog Find are detailed in this packet. RH covers the sizes, number of butto…

It's a comedic, modern-day pirate novel called "Pirates of Pensacola." St. Martin's Press is publishing it using an alias for me (for reasons I'm sure are obvious to you, shipmates). For plot summary and reviews and stuff like that, drop anchor at PiratesofPensacola.com. If any of you lopers buy the bastard, I'll send you a bookplate (fancy publishing word for sticker) with a hand-writ inscription on it.

There has been much talk on the board of a guy making "unauthorized" (or some other word like that) replicas of PotC props and sellin' 'em on eBay. Now, while I was trying (to no avail) to find a place to buy Hot Topic's Aztec necklace reproduction somewhere online, I came across this: http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo...?number=MRDS104 My question is, if none of my local Hot Topics sell the necklace and I be up the creek, so to speak -- is this a legit sort of place to get meself a POTC pirate medallion at long last?? They have 'em on eBay too, for varying prices, but they got so many different sellers ready to pre-auction 'em off it made me nervous, trying t…

This was burried in another post... So I thought I would liberate it and add more as I see em' Capn' Pete Fancy can be tricky... as fancier materials generally would call for fancier buttons and trims, which can be harder to pull of well than a justaucorps made out of plainer materials.. Really nice textiles are tricky as "print" patterns are hard to find in a reasonalbly authentic pattern. That being said, I have found some folks that reproduce our textiles and are quite nice.... Check out some of them on my resources page here http://www.gentlemenoffortune.com/Links.htm Take a look at the E-Luxus site, I drool over that Bizarre pattern (that was only around during …

Okay, okay.... so at my core I'm really to *girlie* to wear a lads rig ALL the time,,,, To remedy this... I've had a bodice, skirt and top made that will do nothing but compliment my aforementioned Barbossa coat. For Pirate Faires and events I would not be wearing the stand-up collar of course... that is an option for Halloween fun! (Kind of a cross between a Disney wicked Step-mother and a Pirate) But it does have ribbon ties that go over the shoulder. The strong boning in all the seams makes it stay in place without the benefit of anything if I am so inclined however so on hot days... This picture shows an underskirt but I intend to wear it with the striped petal s…
