While doing research at the library last week I came across this DVD set. I just finished watching it the other day and it was very entertaining. Kinda like a 17th century reality show, filled with crying drinking and drama. It reminded me of spending a week at rendezvous.

I will be there 19th - 27th with Iron Hand's Plunder. The swap sounds like a great idea.

Thank you kindly for the responses... I have ordered swatches from several of these sites, but there are a few here that I didn't know about. I am slowly learning the differences between all the fabrics.

I am in search of a good wool supplier melton broadcloth flannel if you know of any please let me know

I am a tailor... check out my site www.myspace.com/celt_to_kilt

Ahoy there pirates, I'm in need of some assistance. This pirate has been in search of work for over a year and desperately needs to find some. If any of ye scallywags knows where an able-bodied, hard workin gent like meself could aquire a job please point me in the right dirrection. I currently reside inland ~Modesto, Ca. Just thought I'd try

You know what... there seems to be enough evidence of sailors wearing 'slops' in the GAoP. Whether they were called slops or tousers or petticoat whatevers or open kneed breches... who cares. It seems they wore all kinds of stuff so... wear whatever makes you feel comfortable. Just dont make it out of pink polyester. Were not those kind of pirates

Thanks fer all the kind greetings... now lets get pissed!!

I agree with you on the subject of fabric choice, but I would still have to argue that breeches are tighter fitting (whether the were made of a light material or not) and for most on-ship duties tight fitting pants would be constrictive. Now I beleive that long trousers were not adopted in colder climates because they were less fashionable than breeches and were intended to be work-wear... same goes for slops. Early celts wore simple trousers on a day to day basis and I'm sure the Europeans were trying to take a step forward rather than back. ... I'm sure they changed it up alot due to where they were and what they were doing at the time. I don't wear my steel toes to dinner or a nice shirt to shovel dirt. yawn* I'm bored now

I have a pedersoli Kentucky flintlock and I was wondering if anyone knew the general life span of a frizzen on a gun like mine would be? Do you need to harden or replace them regularly?

The guy next to him seems to be wearin the same thing without something over them... is he standing around in his drawers? hmmm and that guy on the bottom left seems to be holding a chicken or is he choking the chicken?? so many possibilities Like that guy who will live in a few centuries by the name of Einstien would say... "It's all relative."

Thanks for all the great info but my character is set as a Jacobite / Scots-Irish mariner who sails between Scotland and New England raiding English ships. I have been known to lend a helping hand to Yankee rebels. Any enemies of the British are friends of mine. Hopefully one day Prince Charlie will come home and lead Bonnie Scotland to freedom. Slandavagh! I may one day get invloved in GAoP as it's called seems we still have plenty of pirates in today's waters

Well now... an example of sailors wearing slops over their breeches... hmmm

Armijo? That be a strange title

I beleive the year is 1740 by my count... tis good to see so many scottish brothers about
