  1. I cleaned out my closet and found a few nice pirate and non-pirate type things to sell!

    1. Museum Replicas - Robin of Locksley Gambeson - http://www.museumreplicas.com/p-429-robin-of-locksley-gambeson.aspx

    This heavy two-piece garment consists of a corduroy undershirt with padded and studded sleeves and a quilted sleeveless gambeson. Both pieces are chocolate brown corduroy. Wear it as a jerkin (without the shirt and sleeves or as a whole ensemble. Museum Replicas make some of the best ren-quality stuff out there.

    2. Infantry Gambeson

    L/XL looks like new. Was $99

    $60 + shipping

    This heavy-duty infantry sleeveless Gambeson was worn by knights and men-at-arms alike. The heavy quilted 100% cotton body makes it a great addition over a shirt of mail. It laces up the one side along the torso and the neck, giving this garment a fitted look, while the high collar adds the needed extra protection. And as you guessed, I often wore the gambeson with the sleeve portion of the Locksley.

    3. Museum Replicas - Musketeer Boots:

    http://www.museumreplicas.com/p-404-musketeer-boots.aspx

    These are some of the nicest and "close to correct" musketeer / bucket boots out there. I upgraded - and these need a home. They are in good shape - soles show signs of wear. Size 11. Black.

    Regularly $99

    $45 + shipping

    4. Custom made "Blackbeard" Baldric.

    Custom made to hold three small pistols in the front. The back features not only a sword hanger, but two snap rings that can hold accessories. Included are three choices for you! A dagger frog, a pouch or an additional holster can be added and swapped out.

    Originally I paid over $250 for this piece. Please give it a good pirate-like home for $100 with all accessories. (Shark tooth necklace not included) :-)

  2. I believe it would be a pull over garment, with little detail (for the most part). I just made one from a Reconstructing History pattern. While this one is is 16th Century, I am pretty sure that they continued through the GAOP in a slightly different form. But I am not certain.

  3. YEs I am referring to the scenario where people want to be in a picture with some pirates and part of the pose for the picture includes said pirates pointing their real functioning pistol at the people's heads, bodies etc. I have also seen very large and sharp knives and swords pointed at people. I don't believe this is a good idea in any shape or form. If I understand some of the comments correctly, I think I am hearing that if one is a trained re-enactor it's okay to do this? I hope I am misunderstanding this.

  4. I don't believe that gun safety stops when you pose for a picture with folks. I've seen people put sharpened knives and such to peoples throats, stomachs etc. One slip, one bump and, well..... I just don't believe it is a good idea. Cascabel, I am surprised with your weapons background that you support people pointing functioning muskets and pistols at peoples faces, heads, bodies while posing for pictures. Think about this for a second - Pirate Pete has a few beers while hanging around camp, goes to the firing area and unloads a few rounds through his pirate pistols. Afterwards, it's back to camp for a few more beers. The Smith family makes their way through camp and sees Pirate Pete and decides that a group shot with him would be perfect for their Facebook. As Pirate Pete let's out an "aaaarrrrg" and points his pistol at Jimmy Smith's head, he struggles to remember if he left a load in or not.....

  5. It is just a loose fitting white or red jacket or vest. It don't have sleeves :P .... I wonder what is the " sombrero" to me it is almost tricorn but who knows...

    Those caps are interesting I like the rigth one ( since the left one is silly looking but I must accept that often historical clothing was not too cool looking)

    Take a closer look - there are no arm holes. It's almost a corset or something.

  6. I really ike this illustration. I am planning on replicating several of these items for an impression. Still trying to figure ou what the hell the "loose fitting white or red jacket or vest" is....

  7. Based on a period painting of Pieter Codde 1599- 1678

    Looks great! Steve from Bluebox Sutlery does it again! Now he can get started with my outfit! :-)

  8. Wicked Jim, I have a blue linen like sleeveless waistcoat with lining and cloth covered buttons I could part with. It's in great shape. It came from Black bear Historical Cllothing and was originally $85. I could do $50 plus $15 shipping.

  9. Just a thought, but the presence of boots on a ship doesn't necessarily mean they were worn there.

    I do recall an account of pirates riding horses back and forth on the deck of a captured ship (which I believe may be from Alexander Hamilton's A new account of the East Indies, 17th-18th century but I didn't record it in my notes because it is not germane to my subject.) Although they eventually got mad at the ship's crew for not having proper riding gear for them to practice their new sport so they punished them in some form or another.

    I believe in that account they wished they had riding boots because they all kept falling off the horses. :-)

  10. Dudes I am not getting into a bucket boot debate or even a boot debate. I get it, I don't wear boats for GAOP impressions... My question is stemming from a desire to recreate the items in the 1725 drawing from a Spanish sailor of his equipment. Sea boots are mentioned. I also have 18th century references (they are on the pub somewhere) of French sailors wearing a similar boot. They obviously are not buckets. But very similar to the samples from the Wreck of the Vasa. So... I started this thread to see if anyone has seen a source for this style of boot.
