No offense taken, Rue. They were only used once for a charity fantasy event, so the modern buttons and such didn't bother me. But I don't plan on going to another for a long long time. What good will these things do me in storage?

Sheesh! This is good fantasy gear, people! How 'bout $125 with free s&h?

Aye ... you people drive a hard bargain indeed. $150.00 o.b.o.

*** BUMP *** $175 including S&H ? Wartooth

Only worn once at a costume ball a few months back. Was a big hit! Tricorn is real black leather. Size medium. I have a 22.5" head, and it was a bit tight on me. Although I'm sure it'll stretch a bit with regular wear. Custom-made frock is made of a heavy guage faux distressed leather. Looks great. Decorative pocket flaps (no real pockets). No buttonholes. Oversized folded cuffs. Material is water resistant. Lined with a satin-like material. Fits me perfectly ... I am 5'11" and 225 lbs. It will be too large for a smaller person. I paid $250 for both pieces. Am asking for $200, which include free shipping to continental US. Will accept money orders or Paypal (please add 3% to cover the fees of the latter).

Thanks for the link, Bess. That was an interesting read. Wartooth

Oh yeah ... I'd love a good parrot. Slow-cooked with glazed asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes. :) Yum! I really should eat something soon ... I think I'm getting delusional. Wartooth

Well done! Can't wait to see her. Will be heading down there at some point this summer. Wartooth

Good for you! Wow ... 46 years!?! That's some darn fine stitching then. I'll tip my glass to that sailmaker! How about a pic with those beauties hangin' from her? Wartooth

Interesting responses. Thanks all! Wartooth

Foxe & Royaliste --- Thank you both for clearing up that fount of misinformation I was apparently under. I appreciate it. Wartooth

Damn straight, HM. Hence the strange looks and behind-the-back murmurs, as I wear my tricorn out in public ... for no reason other than liking it! Lorien - You keep that seat warm, and I'll be there soon enough. A couple of triple-shot hazelnut lattes on me, sweetie! Wartooth

I'll bow down to your experience, of course, Foxe. I had always read that shoes in the rigging were a big "no-no". I would have assumed that the bare feet would conform more easily to the lines and ropes. Then again, I've never had to climb up there. Wartooth
