Gentleman of Fortune Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 Here is an interesting piece of head gear for those of you looking for something that not every pirate re-enactor is wearing.... Tzar Peter took a tour of the English and Dutch shipyards during the early part of the 18th century. He was impressed with a style of high-crowned, brimmed, knitted hats that were so popular amongst seamen and bought a few for himself and they now reside in the Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg. This particular hat is made from natural grey 2ply 100% sheep wool yarn. The kicker is, the hat has been "tarred" for waterproofing. I tarred the hat with "Original Stockholm Tar" and its pretty sweet. Of course it has that smoky tar smell that screams "old salt on deck". $40 Plus $8 Shipping PM or eMail me GoF Come aboard my pirate re-enacting site http://www.gentlemenoffortune.com/ Where you will find lots of information on building your authentic Pirate Impression!
