The brown waistcoat looks great. I hate to be a doggone nit picker, but is it silk velvet or some kind of synthetic?

Where does one *find* a wide-brim high-crowned Dutch hat? I'd even settle for an ECW-era hat, but cannot find one for love or money.

This may or may not be have been posted here before, but I felt compelled to share it with you. If you follow this link and download the .PDF available in the upper right-hand corner, you will have access to 484 pages of absolute piratical kick*ssery. It's not just Esquemalin's account, but includes Basil Ringrose's book and a couple others. An out of print gem. Raiding! Arson! Grenades! Muskets! Melee Combat! Boarding Actions & Amphibious Ops! Plunder! MOAR Arson! (They seemed to like burning stuff down to show the Spanish Empire how annoyed they were with it.) Enjoy! http://books.google.com/books?id=sKNQZfTl_...qpoyNBg#PPA2,M1
