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. -
I am making an (early) 18 century shirt at the moment, and now somehow I ended up with a collar that is actually a bit to small I am afraid I would not be able to breath ones I attache and close the buttons... . Now I am wandering if there's another period way to close the collar that gifs me a little more space (to breath). Would it be an idea to use two buttons like the way you do the cuffs with two buttons?? Or would simply tying the collar shut with a small ribbon attached or run through to the collar be period also?? So, in short: HELP!!!

So I know a place where I can get blue and white checked linen, which I know is period material for a sailor's shirt. Does anybody know where I can get a period pattern for cutting and sewing it? Showing what kind of cuffs, collar, pleats, and stuff like that to use? Anything from 1680 to 1750 would be close enough.

So I made my first all linen shirt and I love it. I wish I would have made these from the beginning. So on to the questions. What would be the most appropriate way to close the sleeves and neck? Currently I have nothing on the neck and buttons for the sleeves. Would ties be more accurate? If so how long should they be? What kind of ties? I would try and sew up a couple of small tubes out of the same material.

Anyone know what styles of buttons would be GAoP period? By style, I mean the kind with two or more holes in the face, or the kind with a 'post hole' in the back? Materials are easy enough from the admiralty contracts, but I don't recall reading anything about styles. TIA.

Would Raw Silk have been common enough during the GAoP to be made into a shirt for reenacting? Contrary to popular belief, I want to show a bit of individuality, but not way out in left field
