Capt. Lazarus Gage

I think I just had a siezure.

I believe the lady is simply wanting to see pictures of other pirates footwear, not debate the authenticity of them. So Rabble Rousing would be a perfectly acceptable place for this thread to reside I should think. Let me find the best picture of my garb where my boots are visible....ah yes, here we go:

SAUSAGE!!!!

Agreed, well worth the $50 dollars. I would stick with the Bookshelf edition (the $50 one) also, the only difference between it and the classic edition of Dread Pirate is the chest it comes in.

No, I didn't buy the ones that tied up the back, I purchased the custom big bell swashbucklers.

Yes, the shield ring with the skull and crossed cutlasses.

On the side of the ring I purchased?? On the ring I purchased it has the skull and crossed cutlasses with fleur de lis etched on either side.

I decided on the second ring. I will probably end up getting the first ring also in the near future, but the second ring is massive and that's what I wanted. As soon as I get it I will post some pictures.

I payed between 350 and 400 for my custom boots from CA Boots, and I wouldn't trade them for the world. BUT I had some problems with them as well. I have fairly large calves and explained this to them when I purchased my boots and gave them the specific size in inches my boots would need to be so I could wear them but it still took them three times sending boots back and forth from texas until they finally sent me a pair I can wear (and they are still a little tight, but are breaking in quite nicely). That said, they were always very nice and very courteous to me (and I can be quite a pain in the ass when I am waiting on something I want). All of THAT said.....if you don't have the money you don't have the money, but it pays to save for the good stuff. -Gage

My wife likes that one the best also.....hmmm. The first and third rings are at: http://www.badalijewelry.com/pirate.htm The second ring is located at: http://www.celticjackalope.com/sterling_je..._roger_ring.php And the fourth would be at: http://www.martymagic.com/index.php

Now mind you this isn't specifically for my garb, it's something I want to wear every day. There are four rings I am deciding between, all of which I like and range in price from $50 to $150. They are as follows from cheapest to most expensive: Also note the last ring would be in sterling silver without the diamond. I am really stuck between them, any advice would be greatly appreciated. -Gage

Cold War

I just recently purchased a bottle of Gosling's Family Reserve, being a fan of the regular Gosling's Black Seal, the Family Reserve was quite good.

This may sound dumb, but where is the rum from?

These pants would give you a similar look if you had a nice pair of bucket boots to go along with them: http://tobeapirate.com/store/pDetails.php?...rts&action=show

If I were looking for someone who ressembled me the most I would have to go with Jack Black, or John Belushi if he were still alive. But if I were looking for someone who could convey my persona the best, I think Jack Nicholson would be a perfect Lazarus Gage.

I've had quite a bit of experience with Captain Jacks Pirate Hats. At the moment I have three styles of hats from the MacKay: an oil/wax treated Long John Silver, an oil/wax treated Barbossa, and the scallywag limited (which I have moded a bit by cutting a horseshoe shaped hole from the tip and curling out the edges slightly to produce a worn looking barber's bowl style hat.) When you order your hat you are looking at around a two month wait, but I have never been disappointed with any of his work. I am very fond of all my hats from the MacKay and will probably get more in the future. As far as price goes that totally depends on what line of hats you order from and what treatment you desire, my scallywag limited is untreated which makes for a more comfortable hat right out of the box, but my other two with the oil/wax treatment have stood up to a lot of punishment and weather that I wouldn't try to put my scallywag limited through. You also might consider these folks for you hat needs: http://www.centerstagecostumes.com/Catalog...g/FrameCAT3.htm I've never gotten a hat from them, but the other products I have ordered have been great, and their service is fantastic.
