Firethorn Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Aye, after many weeks of searchin' the web, I've come across some pirate garb that is within me budget and can git me started. I've ordered from several different sites hopin' to 'ave it all by Halloween so's I can dress up with me daughter, she'll be a pirate as well, she has one of those cheesy kid costumes, but she loves it anyway. I'll post a pic as soon as I can.....Arrrr! PS. I'm still trying to decide on a vest or a jacket of some kind, any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

Firethorn Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 I picked up some do rags at Seven Brothers Mercantile, they fit well but I thought the material would be a bit thicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimson corsair Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Hey firethorn,you should hold off on the jacket due to the cost and they are very hot.go for a dudlet...a good jacket (a.k.a. frock)would look better,but then again i could be cool on halloween night... I made my on frock (sleveless) it looks of and cooler in the sumer at renn.as a matter of fact i was wairing it when we met at MDRF pirate weekend meetup..... do you have boots yet????

Firethorn Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 Hey Crimson, I think I'll pass on the full coat/jacket for now, though they be nice. I'm thinkin' more on the lines of a vest, something without sleeves, but I did come across a short gunner jacket I liked. Thanks for everyone's imput, and speaking of boots, I do have an old pair of "Cowboy" boots that I think might work for now. I'll try and post a picture of them to get your thoughts.

Guest SirenSong Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Why thank you Harbor Master. I love color. This one makes me feel gypsyish. As for the shirt. Well I took the liberty to lace it since it was a little too low cut and the vest instead of tying in the back laces as well. I need to finish the buttons on it. Then Ill work on the pants and frock coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SirenSong Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Very nice! I got a pair of boots today. Not period unfortunately but ill be saving me silver for the ones I really want. I LOVE the hat. I need to check around and find a hat blank. I found the perfect trimming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katerine_La_Rose_Noire Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 I got me Hat here....I was going to get the blank, but decided to be lazy and get the one already tacked up and with plume. Isn't it a great feeling when it all starts coming together? You did a great job on yer garb! Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firethorn Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 It is time for the grand unveiling of my hat so I added a picture to my profile for your viewing pleasure. I ended up sewing on two buttons to hold the front bends up and on the rear I just put a stitch through so it holds but you can’t see it. I was going to add some trim to the edge but if proved to be too difficult so I scratched the idea. PS. I'm still waiting for me shirt to arrive!
