Thanks!

Greg Schultz and Ivan gettin their buccaneer on...

You're both owning those hats! You both have great expressions. Greg has that calm, seasoned 'bring it on' look while Ivan sports that 'What's that up ahead?'. Do you get questions about the Thrum?

yes always... lol

Now to get it dirty!

Finally got the whole outfit together!

I think too that that he brought this outfit back from Europe. I think the outfit is originally from England or Holland.

These are likely to be PtGs

PTGs??? What dat?

Seated

There it is! I forgot about the dancing Dutch Sailor! That's it exactly! I like how he has it attached with atwo buttons? and a tie of some sort. I think I'll do that with mine. Thanks for the reminder!

Thanks Sterling. That's a good theory. From what I understand, he brought this outfit back from Europe. I could be wrong though.

Possibly?

Possibly?

I have been working on developing this sailor's outfit that Peter The Great brought back from eastern Europe in the early 1700s. After chatting with a few people and checking my resources, I found out that his hat was not straw like I first thought. It appears to be a brimmed knit cap. I found a source and now have a great example of this hat. However, I am not certain that I have seen any references of this hat in application. Any help?

The Hand Gonne is sold.

Ivan Henry Trading Company odd ball items sale!!! I have two items that are odd balls and need a home.

1. 14th Century Hand Gonne. It's a cannon on a stick. Complete with linstock, instructions, a few wood balls you can shoot, powder measure and more. Hand made in the USA - $250. New - never used. Really sweet!

2. Rustic handmade serpentine 15th century style arquebuss. Rough but functional serpentine arquebuss size fireable (will pass safety inspections) musket. I saved this from a re enactor sale and had some work done to it to make it safe, useable and at least close to a few late 15th Century / early 16th style. $300.

I am wondering if anyone has ever seen a source for the "sea boots" shown in this 1725 Spanish Sailor's equipment. I have seen extent examples as well, and as discussed here before, they are not the 17th Century style bucket style boots often seen. There is a series of i believe, 18th Century French Explorers wearing these sea boots. So anyone have a source for purchase of this style?

As per the norm - I have a gallery on lanterns... :-)

Stuart Pirate Festival

I don't have a resource at hand, but I wold say based on what i have seen, both were worn.

I did one show and decided that since I don't run Ivan Henry for a source of income and have a day job, I would rather be playing at the event instead of working on the weekend that I was supposed to be off. That said, I did have a decent show and MIGHT do it again if I could do it for an event that would allow me to set up for a few hours instead of the entire time. It was fun to meet people. It took a good bit of wok building everything i wanted for the booth and it cost me a little in purchasing a pop up tent and other supplies.

The Osprey pirates book I have has several guys in a jacket style I have never seen. It looks like a modified 17th century short coat. Also, more than one guy is wearing a belt that looks like it is holding up their trousers / slops. Overall, I like Osprey books a lot and own several, but for some reason, The GAOP pirate book looks really off. I do like the Buccaneer book and the English Sea Dog.

Well, it's not period, it's not a tri but "The Bean Eater" 1590 has a straw hat.

Can anyone tell what the "Short loose fitting white or red jacket/vest" is? I can't tell what the heck it is. It's always bothered me, a I was somewhat interested in reproducing these items.

I have been wondering what is this hat from circa 1725 picture of Spanish sailors's clothing etc. " sombrero

Currently there are no more Mortars left

I be lookin for a new pair o boots. Gots me a hole in one now from last season.

What size do you need?

"We are all just playing" - sometimes that is the case, but when there is an educational element involved, it is my opinion that authenticity and an effort to conform to known norms is important. That said, you usually see me in a frock coat of some sort. :-)

I built my sea chest based on that painting - it's amazing!
