Just kind of curious.... I have always assumed that those that came into "pirate" via SCA called it Garb. Others that have sailed in from other re-enacting time periods seem to call it "kit" or something else....

Well I call it both, garb and costume. It's whatever comes out of my mouth first.

I call it garb - just beacause it's fun to say when drooling over new pieces - mmmmmmm, garb! :ph34r: Well that, and because costume brings to mind what newbies where to the faire - y'know, cheapy stuff that they got for a ten-er at the halloween shop.

I call all my pirate things garb or costume like Rumba. I have been looking at some new things, and as soon as I get the dubloons for it I will be getting some new things. Might go out plundering to get what I want. :ph34r::ph34r:

I've called my pirate clothes "funnies" from the very begining while sailing on the Lady Washington. Since coming to the east coast, I've slipped garb into my vocabulary, but I still generally stick to funnies.

I call it garb, because when I started in SCA, that's what everyone else called it! Before that, I probably would have called it a costume, but now, that brings to mind Halloween and Ren Faires. Not that there's anything wrong with Ren Faires, but...

Kit is my term of choice. But sometimes I call it "my pirate clothing" or "my 1690s outfit".

In refrence I call it garb., but really I prefer to call it clothing., cause its what it is.

I think of a costume as a sort of one night inexpensively made type outfit.

A good muslin shirt and cotton pants and real leather boots to me is hardly a costume. Clothing., I would definitely say period clothing., you can run tumble fumble .,drink !!! fall down., work and even frolic in them., no costume is going to hold up to all this piratin' abuse.

I am not Lost .,I am Exploring.
