looking good mate!

[William Brand]

I don't know the kit standards for St. Augustine, but I like the look you've gone for. I'm a big fan of the working man's sailor.

I fixed the image links.

[Oscar Henry]

thanks for fixing the links, im not planning on participating in any events unless i can talk someone into letting on a float for the parade or just walk next to one, and the bash saturday night i just plan on hanging out and having a good time, the one piece of information i cant seem to find is wether or not i need a scabbard for my cutlass, im probly going to pick up a boarding ax from tiger lee so that'll suffice.

[William Brand]

I say this all the time, but if you plan to walk, get yourself a good stick. So many period drawings show sailors carrying a tall walking stick or a cane when ashore for use as a tool and protection. I love the checked shirt and slops.

[Oscar Henry]

thanks,. the slops are ones i made from a kass pattern and the shirt i got from jas townsend along with the shoes untill i can get better ones, ive been on the lookout for something that would make a good cudgel about the length of a cane, more than likely i'm going to order another shirt like this one cause it is sooo damn comfy.

Aye, your kit is fine for the gathering

[Capt. Bo of the WTF co.]

I cannot speak to the St. Augustine event, but you are off to a fyne start Oscar Henry. You'd be welcome to hang out at my camp anytime. Well done mate!

[William Brand]

Your kit is perfect for the Fort Taylor event. You should drive down and join us there.

[Oscar Henry]

i would love to but it's just too far of a drive for me right now.

[Capt. Bo of the WTF co.]

Oh yeah?! I'm driving from Warsaw, MISSOURAH! Now, tell me again that's too far for you to drive right now...(snicker-snicker-haw-haw--ho-ho) I'll pick ya up on my way down if yer on the trail down. Well, now what's yer excuse? (In good fun understand).

[Oscar Henry]
