What a nice jacket; I really like the look of it. You should take a photo without all the hardware on so's we can appreciate the craftsmanship.

This is a re-post for mission to see the clothing better.. Eye am stoked it all fit so well...

That's a good question about stripey socks..When did they come on the scene? Eye kinda think they are more of a Hollyweird thing than period to pirates in general during the GAOP though eye believe they were popular during the European Renaissance of the 14th–17th centuries ~

Oi did ye see that German site with the 17th century striped silk stockings? Granted it was only the very top of the stocking....

Thanks, Eye! I love those buttons. Coats and waistcoats with lots of buttons look really neat to me.

That's a great look. I really like the style you chose for that outfit.

Just caught up on that on the other thread. Interesting, but as you pointed out, not English or Colonial. I'm thinking maybe the stripes have a purpose? Without being able to see differences in thickness, etc., it would be difficult to tell if they're decorative or not. I guess it would also depend on if they were intended to be worn under or over the knee breeches. We may never know. That the horizontal stripes not going the entire length of the stocking is something to consider. Whatever the case, they shouldn't be as common as represented in reenacting.

Eye, it's still a very spiffy outfit! :D

Thank you for the compliments and setting me straight on the socks.. Eye most likely will have to go wit a straight colored sock for any hard core reenactment events eye attend.. Only two on the west coast for pirates that eye know of. And they are not exclusive to Pirates of the GAOP..they are time line events. In some aspects are more interesting that say a Ren Faire, which Eye have really lost any zeal for. (Though good to go for being with friends.) Eye will look into getting a Match lock to go with this Kit and maybe next year look to come to an East coast event that is about being period and is Pyrate centric. Eye am still unclear about the type of Hat that "COULD" be worn with this kit to be completely Authentic. Eye am still ok with wearing my buckle shoes though eye may and should go with the laced up type. Any suggestions you have eye am open to it. Just PM me to help this thread stay on Topic. Thanx.

WAY out of GAOP but STILL a pirate - er, I mean privateer.

1586 Drake's Raid on St. Augustine, Florida. Jerkin by Liam, hand sewn breeches by ME! (my first completed piece of clothing)

Excellent impressions!

It makes me want a matchlock!

We'll either get along famously, or NOT.

Mad Zan

Love the pics Zan!

Especially the shot on the bottom!

Many a modern pirate can look the fop.. but I always thought that to capture the working sailor stands out above the rest!

BTW: I can't believe your slops look dirtier than mine in the pic below....I guess, I'll have to either do more work or just hit the bottle and wallow in more filth??
