Duchess Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 Yeah, you can have that, I don't want that. Actually it was a, possibly obscure, referance to a BBC comedy called the Red Dwarf and it's character "the cat." The Duchess

Slopmaker Cripps Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 I just call them "Slops" as that was what the sailors back then called them. And no, "slops" are not just breeches, they're the whole garb. The only time that I know of where they were called slops were the 16th century sloppes which were the baggy knee breeches. However, late 17th and 18th century, I call the whole fitout slops, as they did, and the breeches "slop hose" according to Bailey's Dictionary (1736) who described them as " Slop Hose: A sort of widekneed breeches worn by seamen." Cheers, Adam C. Slopmaker

kass Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Gentleman, you're my hero. I was thinking the exact same thing! Me, I call it all "clothing". I wear my "pirate clothing" or "pirate outfit" or "pirate kit". Lesson time! In the middle ages and Renaissance, the word "garb" meant the top of a stalk of grain, the head where the eatable part grows. The word "costume" on the other hand can mean either an outfit to wear to pretend you're someone else (as in "Hallowe'en costume") or the clothing of a particular time and place (as in "the costume of 17th century Europe"). Both uses of this word are proper in this context. So Charity, you just call your outfit whatever you like. Don't let anyone tell you what it is or isn't. It's YOURS above all. Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!
