John_Young Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Aye! Me any my Crue will be attending! (Namechange pending) It's very worth it! Redviper... you're attending? As a reinactor or an observer... because I have a question about your boots (from another thread you started). "Yo Ho, all together hoist the colours high Heave Ho, theives and beggers Never shall we die..."

Redvipers Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 My boots may be of that period but my uniform is not (1803). The boots are nice pirate attire however they are much longer than I anticipated and I may have to trim them. Searl's raid folks are sticklers for authenticity...so I think I will sit this one out and just observe. Joseph L.

John_Young Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Yeah, I have a great pair of boots that look just like yours.... but that dang zipper...

John If the zipper sticks you can try wd40 on a swab or graphite from a pencil led. I find that the boots are so tight on my bony legs that the pants tend to ride up and balloon at the top unless I bind the pant leg cuff before I put them on. I was just measured for the coat and pants...she said I will have them before my March 24th/25th "Learn to Read" book signing event. I think the kids will get a big kick when I spread out my Pirate flag, treasure chest, Skulls, swords and pistols on my book display table. Might recruit some future pirates and even sell some books. This is what the uniform will kinda look like Does anyone have any knowledge of what to coat the hat with to stiffen and protect it from water? I have read that shellac or varnish is used in the hat manufacturing process. Anyone have any experience with either of these? Joseph L.
