Mad Matt Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Check here. Also check out Kass's website if you wanna do your own stuff. (Why it's not listed there, I don't know.) http://reconstructinghistory.com/ You will be flogged. And God willing, come morning, you will be flogged some more.

Hrothgar Addams Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Well--it all depends on what ye're goin' for. If'n its a costume--there are lots of halloween store sites. If'n its more or less real piraty clothing or garb, ye've found the right section, just read the topics and look for some question you might like answered. Ye might also try Bilgemunky.com The purple primate has lots of reviews of good garb sources. When you find some promising sites, the key thing ta remember--at least in my experience--is shop around! Ye'll be surprised at the range of price and quality ye'll find! Have Fun Never give up--Never surrender! Remember -- A good friend will come and bail you out of jail...BUT a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...that was fun!" Live while yer alive--an' when yore dead be done with it!

Rumba Rue Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I checked out that Painted Lady site, sorry Callenish Gunner, when prices aren't posted (as with majority of items offered), one cannot look to see the garment closer, and I questioned numerous other things, I could not possibly recommend the site to anyone.

callenish gunner Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 rumba ...et al -if you add your selection to the cart even if you later remove it it gives you the current pricing with shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumba Rue Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Sorry, I stand by what I said previously. I shouldn't have to put something in a cart to see the price, nor should I not be able to see a garment at a closer look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateQueen Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Rumba, I believe Callenish wasn't so much recommending the site as he was recommending the vendor, having been a customer of theirs and presumably finding their products to be satisfactory. That's the sort of testimonial we need to hear from our pubmates especially when a vendor's site isn't as descriptive as we'd prefer.

PirateQueen Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Ravenswood Leather I've never purchased through their site, but I've patronized their booth at faires. I absolutely love their shirts (the Swordsman, the Highlander and the Rogue I can vouch for), and their leatherwork is tempting.

callenish gunner Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 well i for one am not as website savvy as might some may be ...so i can't assume that others know any more than i do about constructing a website ....they are a small opperation and not some giant renfaire based opperation that does thousands $$$ from 20-30 renfaires across the country ...i judge them by the quality of what they sell and i have seen their products up close and personal ....and though you might want to view them closer online it may be beyond their computer knowledge i just offer a recomendation of the quality of their workmanship and the products they carry so you don't necessarily have to wade through the non-period renfaire bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theodora Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 if you haven't found an outfit yet, may I suggest hiring a good seamstress to make one for you? a custom fit can be all the difference between a costume and a quality garment. I would be happy to quote you a fair price to recreate any type of garb you have in mind. Theodora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumba Rue Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 oh well I saw what state your in, can't help you. if you were here locally I could help you out with sewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lazarus Gage Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I got my garb from these sites, and I highly recommend all of them: Hat: www.captjackspiratehats.com (I own three of these hats and couldn't stress the quality of this product enough) Boots: www.CAboots.com Pants: www.centerstagecostumes.com, or my second pair is from www.flyingcanoetraders.com Shirt: http://renstore.com, The shirt was very lightwieght and simple, all I needed to do to make it look perfect was replace the buttons on the cuffs. Coat: http://69.94.19.253/index.html Scarf and sash: Make your own, it's cheaper and you have controll over color and materials. Baldric: http://www.blackbeardscreations.com/index.htm Pistols: My non-firing replica's are from: http://www.aurorahistoryboutique.com/ahb_p...yStart=0&mySS=0 Firing models, I would recommend: http://www.dixiegunworks.com/ I think that is about it.

Billy Flynt Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I will agree that the Painted Lady has a very poor website, but their work is first rate and the people, JR & his family, are better than first rate. If you have any questions about any of their work I would encourage you to contact him directly. Their stuff is among the most historically accurate for the GAoP that I have found. poor website? what do you want from pirates?

Rogue Mermaid Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Ravenswood LeatherI've never purchased through their site, but I've patronized their booth at faires. I absolutely love their shirts (the Swordsman, the Highlander and the Rogue I can vouch for), and their leatherwork is tempting. I bought a bodice from Ravenswood Leather last year and I love it. In my over excitement though, I didn't properly pre-wear it. I tied it up as tight as it would go the first time. Now days, I'm told you shouldn't do that for leather bodices. If you do what I did the leather streaches out to much and won't ever get that tight again. My mistake certainly didn't ruin my bodice though! It's still body hugging...it just isn't tight enough to give me cleavage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
