Admittedly we are not too welcoming to the nylon crowd ....

this is very true here. my garb gets rave reviews at pirate events and ren faires, yet here it is looked down upon. i recomend to anyone that if you have garb not made from silk,linen, or wool just dont even show it here. thats what ive learned.its a good site to get ideas and info from.

silly question: is Pyrates Magazine and Pyrates Way magazine the same thing? i have some issues of pyrates magazine and like it pretty well (tho alittle high priced). i have never seen one actually titled Pyrates Way.

i was hoping to see that more people from here would be going.i cant wait,it sounds fun.ill be wearing my latest coat made from grandma's curtains (not really,but its that kind of fabric,lol)

I can think of other things to spend $175 on, like a nice new shiny cutlass...or maybe a coat.

where can you buy a coat for $175 ?

heres me at the escondido fair (already posted it in that topic but oh well).i dont know the guy,he just wanted a picture with me.lol

yes i did look at the hat pins.i almost bought one,theyre beautiful. i didnt recognise anyone from here tho.when looking at all the pirates i did wonder which ones were members here tho.

the piratescharles were awesome, and that very old couple too.i had a great time. next time i will be less shy and talk to more strangers.lol

i just got home from the escondido fair and it was beautiful day,cool enough to wear a coat but not cold.heres a (bad) pic of me, and me and some random pirate who asked to take a picture with me.i never met him before but we kinda matched .lol

im a tattoo artist,for 6 1/2 years now .before i started working shops i was a helicopter mechanic in the marine corps.

i forgot all about woods rogers. maybe he'll show up in the last episodes? i havent got that far yet.

to me beamish is like a little puppy growling at something- tries to come across as tough but is still just a puppy,and everyone is always out to get him.lol

Hmmm... maybe a "Labels" thread is in order here?

Maybe.....

I always thought that the term "Hollywood" coverd the Pyrates playing..... as in not worried if anything was authentic or not..... but it's fun and looks cool......

Some, don't worry about the History part... but wanna have fun being flashy and look cool........

I have yet to meet a Pyrate costume nazi......

We don't do that crap.....

COOL........

i call myself a hollywood pirate and if i had to describe it i couldnt do it any better than that.i do try to incorporate things that resemble history,but i liven it up to where im happy with it.

unfortunately i have heard pirate costume nazis,i just dont know why

lol. i just posted my opinion of it in the pirate movie thread. i like it alot. i have developed an affection for lt beamish.

i havent seen many of the ones named so far,but potc 2 was my favorite,and i am enjoying the dvd series (from the 1950s,b&w) of "the buccaneers".

I do feel we are all pirates ., its the spirit of the game that holds the fun of the event..,

P.S. On the over all I do not expect to be accepted by any group and am not a part of one, Therefore I usually do my own things with a few freinds and enjoy it amongst ourselves..., our way.

i love the way you expressed that. i totally agree.

yeah you guys pointed out the rounded neck on my red coat so i squared this one off.i dont really know what other mods it needs.

You have to give us the play by play as yer making yer coat....... and pics too! You know, for future generations of Frock coat makers around the world!!

cool.ill do that.im making another right now from the simplicity 4923 pattern but i doubt anyone here is intrested.then ill start the other with a more authentic fabric

i think you look awesome, foxe

i just recieved the 1720's frock pattern from rh and im wondering if anyone has one completed.id love to see pics before starting mine,just to get a feel of what the finished product will look like.i much appreciate it.

I like Hollywood pirates.. ...

The skulls and fantasy blades and the thigh high musketeer boots with spandex pants and purple hats with chrome plated conches that say "ARGHHH," thats what they mean by Hollywood pyrates. If thats the type of pirate someone enjoys portraying, awsome! I might even have to make a Dread Pyrate Roberts' kit myself! After all this is the Pyracy pub....now where did I put my Cod piece?

thumbs up to you lad!

im working on a frock coat now that is made with cheap upholstery fabric and looks very similar to my curtains, and i love it. lol

i carry a large middle-eastern style scimitar in my pirate garb. and why wouldnt a european pirate have one? unless its a pirate who never stole from people

does anyone know how long it takes to recieve an order from Reconstructing history? i cant find any info about it on the site and i messaged kass over a month ago with no answer.

She has some sort of policy about not taking orders from private messages if I'm not mistaken. I believe your best bet is to deal with her directly via her toll free number, as opposed to email or pm.

well i ordered it right off the site, and i know it hasnt been too long.but im also wondering if my credit card has been charged yet too.i guess ill try to call her tomorrow.also the email reciept i got doesnt have everything i ordered on it, but it has the full price,so im kinda worried

i think it looks good too. i see what you mean about the miner thing tho too .lol

oops i forgot about the holiday. i know it hasnt been long.im just excited and wondering when to start looking for it.lol. my fabric is just begging to be cut.

not sure if im posting the pics right but if it show let me know what you think
