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”.
