Ivan Henry aka Moose

Well even though no one chimed in didn't mean I didn't stop looking for references. Check out these from the wreck of the Vasa 1628.

Dates?

I have a PTG hat. It does not hold the shape of the last two examples. The first one is too small for me to have a strong opinion one way or the other, the second image - the Caspar Luiken one, could quite possibly be knit but once again, the brim is holding a shape that mine doesn't. All of this is my supposition though... I am wondering if they were treated with something to stiffen and waterproof them....

Loved it! Laughed the whole time. I was really surprised to see the depth of understanding of the current pirate types community. Everyone looked like a sailor type until the Pirate of the year nominees were shown - then they all were way over the top Hollywood type pirates. Way too funny!

Yeah - there is no participant info that I can see.

I have a friend request pending with Sean.

Anyone have any info on Lockhouse this year? I may be able to swing it. Could Ivan get a camping spot? I didn't see any registration on the web site.

I'm now wondering if there is any provenance in the knit PTG styles being treated with anything. Some of them appear to be a little stiff, holding their shape. From first hand experience, They don,t seem to hold shape like the dancing Dutch sailor's cap does.

Who organizes this event? I was just looking at the web site and I may be interested in attending and participating. I would like to receive some info on the encampment, and genral info...

Thanks for those - that is great!

Yeah i have seen this. Though I don't think this cap is knit. I do dig his jacket!

Hey Wobble, I think it's this one: http://searlesbucs.com/

Hey Jeff, I am planning to be there with the standard smaller tent with awning. So, 10x16 ish...

This isn't a PC production mind you, but a National Geographic flick on Blackbeard included a main character with a close cropped quaff.

I currently sell mine for $399. Unfortunately, I am out now. Price increases will be on my standing production order, so I will need to go $349. PM me and I can give you a special price for a prepaid preorder. http://ivanhenry.com/replicaweapons/scottish_murdoch_flintlock.html

I am currently out of them, but i have an order coming in within the next six weeks. There are brass barrel versions coming as well.

Aye - http://www.re-enactm...8th_century.htm These are the ones I have.

Yeah I would but don't have enough shore leave.

oh here we go! KOS - there is a good deal of debate and many threads on this forum about boots. Bottom line (IMO) is that Golden Age of Piracy 1680-1730 = shoes. A good bit of advice that I got from someone is that dressing for the common rather than the exception is a good idea. If everyone's character was the exception to the rule, the overall impression of a group would not be an accurate representation.

and the winner is..... Ross Farms! Great stuff! Thanks for the link!

Would like to see you!

Resistance is futile!

Okay so your fun pirate outfit isn't calling for a $500 blunderbuss, but is worthy of being accessorized with a good looking replica flintlock... Good news! For the first time, at Fisherman's Village Pirate Fest, Ivan Henry Trading Company will be testing the waters with the next best, affordable thing. We will have a few metal and wood replica flintlocks, that are made in Spain beginning at around (drum roll) $50! These replicas represent the best looking pieces you can buy without going into the wallet for "the real stuff". Of course, we'll have plenty of stock of the real stuff as well!

Preach on brother Mission! I almost always like to hit the pubs in the evening!
