skots13 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Me Pop's a retired state trooper and i ended up with lots of his old stuff. I found that a policemans duty belt works well for a pirate. Look for your local uniform or police supply store. They sell used gun (duty) belts and other leather goods. You can get a thick leather belt in black or brown that is about 4 inches wide for about $5.00. Most come with a nice copper or silver buckle! Another cheap way to go is head to yer local GoodWill Store (thrift store) and look in the dress racks. Find a womens chemise (dress-like garment that hangs from the shoulder). Find the right size and with a little trimming and stitching.......Bang! Ye gots a waist coat fer $2.00 and some change. I just made one. I'll post a photo as soon as I figure out how! Capt.

Zorg Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Ah,. the goodwill, source of most costuming, far as Im concerned. Lowes (and probably others of the home improvement store types) is selling leather work belts up to 3 1/2 inches for between $9 and $16 bucks. They're really solidly made, riveted and stitched, very dark brown/black leather. Only concession to commercialism is a small cloth logo stitched to the back which I had off in two seconds with my swiss army knife. Drop a kitten six feet, and she grins...
