Oh sigh...you had me at Ale!!...

Just wanted to say I got my slops from Mister McMac. Great quality, I am super happy with them. Now I just need to find time to try 'em on, and mebbe get a pic or two...

I wanna be on a crew, ooh ooh pick me pick me please please please!! Ooh ooh ooh...here, in the back!! Kidding, there are a TON of great folks on this site, so help is a topic search or a question or two away!!

Found a hand cranked meat grinder and a bipod for an M249 SAW (new in bag, not de-milled or cut).....

Hey Matthew, welcome aboard matey!! What size britches do you wear? I think I still have an old pair of breeches downstairs.....cant remember the size, but I got them from from my Dad from the 1776 Bicentenial, alas we are both a bit broader these days! You might be able to squeak by in them until you aquire what you need/want, or if your handy with a needle, convert them over to French Flys...... OR tell me your size, I have a pair of French fly breeches that I wear ( im roughly a 36) I'll use em as a pattern and I can stitch up a pair...you add the buttons...

Done! Try www.frontierfolk.net as well.....

Dang my eyes...thats nice!!!

Too bad we are not any closer Bo, we could car-pool.....

Just marked it on the calendar at work, hopefully I wont be having to train a new guy again, OR I can ditch the rookie for the weekend......Time shall Tell!! Now I just have to get to sewing a new tent......

For goat, methinks feta goes betta!!! or a nice pepper jack-tar lol

Forgot to add that I stapled and sewed up the back.....and dont forget to flatten the seams really good if your using thick material!! OR Send me a measurement of your legs from ankle to knee and I can probably stitch up a pair, just need to know what material you want them made from....

You can actually see a bit of "sag" on these....tighter sizing around the leg can help this....

Sir, One possibility is to make your own. I made my own bag hose when I was doing 42nd RHR. I took material (practiced with scrap first!) put it around my calves (leg parts) and stapled it roughly where I wanted to stitch. Then started sewing them, trying on as you go to adjust fit, until you are happy with them. I also used a ribbon to help keep them up (think garter straps) but I imagine breeches would be good enough to keep them up. I used the ribbon since I wore regimental tartan. Finished hose are worn below: I actually didnt have toes on these either, they came to roughly the ball of my foot.....hopefully this is a tad helpful! Wes

Or click on the icon to his Letters of Marque store....link http://www.etsy.com/shop/lettersofmarqueuk Your map of the world in inches is roughly 18 x 32-ish Caribbean is 18 x 24......IIRC Its worth the wait!!!

I just found it amusing that alot of folks are looking at it wondering where to get their Jack Sparrow duds, looking at the name and all, and ignoring the actual pedigree or historic intentions of the builders. Bo, if it goes for $69.99, put me in for at least half!! I got 2 poder monkeys at home!!! 2 more and we can fire the 4 cannon!! lol

Saw this on another message board: http://www.blueoceantackle.com/pirate_ship_for_sale.htm Anybody got any spare change???

More books...

Looking for pictures of tall ships or pirate ships that I can reduce or modify......I am going for a new tattoo this week and want a ship......thinking of a sparrow as well, but I am still short around 400 NM's and dont want to cheat...

We always said Sloop, like poop, but I would bet there are variations based on regional accents.....

Thats fun stuff trying to keep up with all the spam....

Sounds like there is potential for an "international incident"!!!! LOL

Love the charts!!! PoD does awesome work! If I had the cash, I'd have a bunch of charts to frame!!!
