Nevermind I looked at Captain Jack's shop page, it's a small.

Which won't fit the boys.

Happy belated birthday!

what size is it exactly?

I know that some of the local larpers are looking for a hat, if it fits them they might take it off your hands :)

Or you could just get a straw tricorn from Captain Jack :)

I wouldn't mind a huge floppy tricorn hat for in summer.

Not in those prints though ><

Which brings up another point, when do the guys get some good GAoP inspired clothing... instead of the garb we pull together? Just doesn't seem fair

I've only been making stuff for men since, oh, LAST year

And possibly even before that :)

Aye....

Hildekitten's piratey styling would blow all of 'em out of the water !!!

Aww, thank you :)

I'm by no means taking it serious at all, but it made me laugh nonetheless :)

I doubt that the person that wrote it up meant it to be serious either.

Same here Nathaniel :)

I'm by no means certain but I think it could be a thrum cap. I know I've seen hats like that on period images, but I can't remember where.

Welcome to the pub :)

I own two watches with skulls :)

My daily wear wrist watch, which is a flik flak (yes I know, it's a children's watch, but I have thin wrists and I like it):

And my PotC pocket watch which I got over eBay:

You might find these too expensive (you probably will actually) but I'll post them here anyway.

The thing is, it's better to save longer and spend more on a shoe that will fit you perfectly, than to spend less on something not as good.

Anyway: Andy Burke's shoes:

Sarah Juniper shoes: http://www.sarahjuniper.co.uk/

A girl on a costume community on livejournal actually went along with a pair of bridal shoes (but she was improvising on a different period) so that might be worth looking into.

I'm a boots type of girl myself so I'm afraid this is as much help as I can be, I hope you found it at least slightly helpful.

I'm hoping they'll air it on Dutch Nat Geo soon so I can see it as well :)

I will however, defend their rights to do the show. I don't have to like it, watch it or even care about it.

But they have the right to do it for those who might enjoy the nonsense.

People without on going work or jobs end up on the needy list just as fast as those who require ongoing charitable help.

And if this keeps them off the unemployment line well... more power to 'em say's I.

Hear hear!

I absolutely agree with you!

That looks like a fun page, well done :)

Well I've had my custom pair of Sparrow boots for a while and I love them.

I went with Pogue and Angel's advice to go with the womens 7,5 and I haven't regretted that :)

Here's some things I experienced with the boots that seem worthwhile sharing:

You need one of those long shoe pull on things (bare with me, my first language is Dutch and I have no clue what schoenlepel is in English) to get in your boots. Trust me, it's easier to get in them that way, much much easier.

Also, if you break them in, wear thin socks.

I got mine just when it started freezing and wore them with snow socks (which are MUCH thicker than my normal socks) which ment I had to break them in all over again with normal socks.

(if you end up doing what I did, I advise plasters to put on your heels preventively, or sports tape to put over your socks so you don't get blisters while rebreaking them in).

Photos when I finally get 'round to taking some :)

I own several pairs of bucket boots :)

Although admittedly 2 of the pairs are only being kept because they're still good for photoshoots (and that's all their good for really).

My bucket boots from caboots.com I wear pretty much all the time, no matter where I'm going :)

I think it's absolutely fantastic he did that.

It's looking a bit grey and bleak, but it's not too cold or windy, and it's not raining :)

So all in all not too bad a winter day really :)

That's adorable :)

I made myself a skirt out of that skull and crossbones print last year :)

It's sad that he died and won't star in more great movies.

designing and making clothing and costumes!

Bert, my pets, my friends and to a lesser extend my sewing supplies and equipment :)
