Hello All !!!

I'm a newbie and I am scouring the Internet and I am getting ready to put together my "kit". I have a question about the quality of one of the sutlers I have found. Does anyone have any feedbeedback on Michael the Tailor http://www.angelfire.com/va/sutler/ His selection of pirate/seaman garb is pretty impressive and fits with in with the time period I wish to portray (mid to late 17th Century). Coming from a reenactment background, I just like to get some info on a merchant before I plunk down a bag of gold, so any info on the quality of this mechants goods would be much appreciated!!!

Thanks!!! Eric...aka "The Submarine Privateer"

Unfortunately, Michael the Tailor passed on a couple of years ago. He did truly fine work, and had very reasonable prices.

I needs to be shoppin' at the Big & Tall pirate shops.

Well, I'm big, but I ain't tall. I be 5'8" both vertically and horizontally.

I looks more like a cannonball than a belayin' pin! pirateGrin.gif

Any o' you gentlemen of a larger girth know where to finds some fittin' garb? (I tried Omar the Tentmaker, but no luck.)

Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie.

I can be seein thar be a problem. I be havin similar problems as well but only from me hands. Member a magazine a few years back that be having a full sized picture of a huge hand belongin' to a heavyweight boxer, I be looking at the picture and be saying, he be needin bigger hands. expecially since mine were bigger than his...

Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left.

For those of you who like to do a little sewing, you can make a "Williamsburg Shirt" (I think the pattern is called Williamsburg Shirt) and it'll have the nice flared arms and you can add laces for the neck and you're set.
