A pirate drummer, a young one. He could play his drum in heat of the battle etc. He is dressed plainly in typical period clothing. The drum should be realistic too. -

Pirate wearing sailor's suit of clothes. What is notable is that he has a sash, which was evidently used by some sailors pirates in the form depicted here. Mustache were rare sight but people had them (of course). The pirate's breeches are the Striped Shag Breeches from Rn slops contract and the color of them is based on one source that don't bother to identify now. (there was another form of striped breeches as well and I have pictured them with blue and white stripes in my pictures but here are the other striped pant from the slops). He has tied a pistol with cloth sling and he has cutlass and a Blunderbuss Pistol. -

While I know that kerchiefs are exaggerated by romantic illustration of Howard Pyle and Hollywood I have dressed this pirate with one. It is not really inaccurate as we have some references of them. The pirate here has a checked kerchief around his head; it was meant to be a neckerchief but now he has tied it to work as headgear. The Striped trousers may seem improvised but trousers were used in the Golden age and so were a great number of striped garments and we have references for blue and striped trousers at least from 1730s. So that's reasonable extrapolation to dress an early 1700s pirate that way. His linen shirt is ordinary and he has shoes and musket as well as a back for ammunition. -

This early 1700s pirate has Rn slop contract jacket, canvas trousers, wool cap etc. He is armed with a grenade with the fuse lightened perhaps with his pistol's flintlock. His axe is based on a rarer type of boarding axe with an additional pike. Sword is there too with a belt and the ammo box. -

This is a woman pirate with sailor clothing. There were really few women aboard pirate vessels but this image represents one of those few… she might be Bonny or Read. Of course she is based on looks of Anne Bonny and Mary Read. I used period illustration like http://s1.hubimg.com...096276_f496.jpg or http://leogirl1975.f...nread.gif (with needed criticism of course) and also the testimony of one eyewitness was thoroughly exploited. The testimony told “(the two women) wore men's jackets, and long trousers, and handkerchiefs tied about their heads; and that each of them had a machete and pistol in their hands,…” So my female pirate wears this clothing and is armed with naval weaponry of that era. She has typical sailor clothing of the early 1700s though the kerchief, in reality, was not so popular than it is in popular image of the pirates. -

This is close enough to fit into Pirate art category. He is an English admiral from early decades of the 18th century. He is dressed in fine gentleman gear with fine three-cornered hat with feathers. He has a fine red/violet coat with decorative seam stitches with gold colored cloth. Waistcoat, gentleman’s breeches and sash as well as socks and fine shoes are there too. He has a small- sword but its long blade is not fully visible. Like usually this in heavily based on period evidence. Mostly circa 1703 picture of “English admiral at sea” (http://www.britishmuseum.org/collectionimages/AN00476/AN00476504_001_l.jpg ). That image was made by Dutch artist Caspar Luyken and he made it for his book presenting people’s costumes at the time. Also other gentlemen’s gear and admiral’s and navy captain’s portraits were used too. Like these two: http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/14222.html http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/14278.html -

This pirate or why not armed seaman has a round brim hat, a blue neck cloth, a striped sleeved waistcoat/jacket and breeches (the waistcoat is not from Navy slops because it has metal buttons). Linen socks are there too. He has an axe. There is also a sword belt with a sword and an ammo box. He also has a double-barreled flintlock. This heavily striped clothing seems a bit funny to me but he is a realistic pirate figure. -

He is a merchant captain with tricorn hat, two waistcoats (well just a little error... but he can have two for cold weather or something), neck cloth, breeches, fine socks and shoes. While he is a gentleman he has his own hair or a small form of wig. He has a light gentleman gear so he is not wearing the justacorps coat or a huge feathered hat. He is holding a telescope based on late 17th century and early 18th century telescopes like http://collections.r...ects/43703.html , http://collections.r...ects/43727.html and http://collections.r...ects/43735.html -

This is an older pirate man about 50-60 years old. He has a green olive jacket as well as a black waistcoat and breeches. Wool stockings are brown and shoes are ordinary buckled ones. The Clothing is realistic and colors are pretty realistic too. This pirate has a red neck cloth and a Monmouth cap with knitted brim. In his belt there is a common sailor knife. He has a cutlass and pistol. The latter one hangs on cloth sling so it is not too easy to get lost. The cloth is tied on a hoop on the other side of the gun so that is why the knot cannot be seen. -

This sailor has no hat, shoes or shirt for practical reasons. He has a neck cloth and a short jacket. He has checkered petticoat-breeches. (Based in period evidence like http://www.reconstru...landsSafety.jpg and http://pic100.pictur...55/85796168.jpg ) -

This is a pirate captain. He wears a fine suit of clothing. From head to toes: He has a cloth cap edged with rich fur. It is based on period evidence of sailors clothing. While the fur cap might seem odd especially in the hot West- Indies in colder weather especially when at sea and when sailing in the north it would be useful. Even captain Blackbeard was described to have a fur cap in contemporary evidence. So pirate captain can really well wear one (there is even contemporary picture of Privateer Jean Bart with such hat). The Captain also possesses a nice embroidered crimson sleeved waistcoat and breeches inspired by Bart Roberts and period fashions. This captain has two pairs of pistols in his sash –it is accurate since occasional and short sashes were sometimes worn (but not the big ones that H. Pyle’s paintings are full of or many movies). He has silk socks and fine high heeled gentleman shoes. His expression and gestures indicates that he is recruiting captured sailors to join him (that is also why he is so well dressed). -

He is a pirate, navy or merchant sailor. He has many navy clothing pieces from slop contracts but not all of his stuff is from there since it was not compulsory to buy all slop clothing. So as there were no sailor uniforms he can be pure British navy seaman even when he wears only parts of the navy slop clothing. His dress includes: Small Leather Cap stitched with white Thread (like mentioned in the naval slop clothing contracts in about 1706-1725) the design of these caps is unknown but this cap with upturned peak is one of the most probable styles, Striped waistcoat (like mentioned in the naval slop clothing), Striped breeches (the navy slops again but oh wrong button color they are black while they should be white... well he has sewed new buttons there), blue jacket (not from the naval slop contract), a checkered neck cloth (not from the slops) a linen socks (same here), Double Sold Shoes (now these are from the navy slops). He is armed with Queen Anne dog-lock sea service musket (the dog-lock is a variation of flintlock) and the gun is painted black to cover it from rust. Based on this gun http://rockislandauc...aid/54/lid/3037 . There also a cutlass and a belt with “a belly box”. -

The sitting Man is looking realistic in sailor clothing (clothing would actually fit even other periods than just early 1700s): checkered shirt, Monmouth cap, blue neck cloth, canvas trousers and shoes. He has a pipe. The pirate parrot is a cliché but occasional birds might have been seen here and there. Parrots lived in The Caribbean and the parrot trade to Europe was booming business at the time so pirate could capture or steal parrots quite easily. Parrots could be good entertainers during boring sea voyages so there might have been few as pets. Historian’s opinions about parrots vary but there is no “definite no” for occasional birds. But since even occasional pirate parrot is hardy realistic (if it is at all) I have put parrot on ordinary seaman’s shoulder. And the parrot is actual Caribbean species which lives in The Bahamas as well. The parrot is "Cuban Amazon" (Amazona leucocephala) often called as "Cuban Parrot". -

He is a gunner. He is prepared to work on the hot gun deck. He has no shirt and his neckerchief is tied around his head to keep out the sweat from his eyes and preventing hair to get in the way. He has a brush used to clean up the cannon’s mouth from burned gun powder when needed. Again he has petticoat breeches or “Slop breeches” but this time they are red… it is improvised but if there was white and patterned petticoat pants so why not colorful ones too? While he has no socks he has shoes (to protect toes from hazards like falling cannonballs) -

This sailor/pirate is rather ordinary. He wears a neck cloth, linen shirt, striped breeches and a Monmouth cap with brim (modern term is “Peter the great hat”). He has a lantern and he is not using shoes. -

This pirate is not Scottish while he may seem so. He has, again, petticoat breeches this time with checked with red. There is a gray coat, a brown Monmouth cap and so on. He has –unusually, long beard so he does not like to shave. He has a boarding pike and pistol as well as sailors knife with belt and ammo bag. -
From the album: Realistic pirate art
This sailor or pirate carries a rum/beer/wine/ gunpowder barrel. He is wearing petticoat breeches and his checkered underpants can been seen under it. He has a pair of red stockings and a striped wool cap. He wears a commonplace linen shirt and shoes. He is not really special in any way so a rather common sailor of the era (circa 1690-1725). As far as I know people had striped wool caps back then… at least some sort of striped caps are mentioned in sailor’s inventories etc. -
Sailor Age of sail with bad weather outfit
Swashbuckler 1700 posted a gallery image in Pub Members Gallery
From the album: Realistic pirate art
This man has a thrum cap and a blue smock often referred as "sea gowns" they were bad weather garments used in golden age of piracy and in the of age of sail. Trousers and tied shoes are there too with an always involved neck cloth -
Ok everytime I look for sailors clothes I can find most stuff on what the captains wore. I would like to do a more common sailor look. After all there were more sailors than captains right? But to make the outfit I would need pictures. Pictures of yourselves or from books would be great.
