Capt. Sterling Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 My favorite stockings are the blue on the boob in the back all in brown... Kass had once posted that it was one of the more common colours in the colonies...Thanks to Williamsburg they are seamed and of course mine are clocked as well... wouldn't want to let Patrick down....

LadyBarbossa Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 :) Sterling may be a fop, but we LOVE Sterling no matter if he's a fop or not! Aye, nay t' worry, Sterling. The pair that has lasted the longest - and still going strong - are a blue pair like that without clocking. All others have worn out already. Well, except for the white clocked ones I did buy at Williamsburg back in 2002. And aye, be nothin' wrong with th' color of yer stockin's as long as it looks fetchin'. Sharp an' fancy ye are, Sterling! Dorian... I'm impressed, shipmate! I especially fancy th' waistcoat. Mighty nice. Oh an' I hope ye all don't mind this at'll... but I figured that this deserved an honorable mention seein' as how this would have been the greatest challenge! Costume done by a Mr. Davis and worn by said gent. We all know who it be. If ya don't, yer in trouble mate. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!

Cheeky Actress Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Just hearing such things from the crowd during Pyrate Fest must have made all that time spent on your attire well worth it, Patrick! and Kenneth, very nicely done! Any pictures of just your waistcoat? Looks like a nice Demask. Cheeky Member of "The Forsaken"
callenish gunner Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 patrick as you have heard here you are what more folks should aspire to ...your kit is very authentic in appearance and period sewing techniques ....as you heard from the crowd there is no higher praise than that ...you are the epitome of an authentic looking pyrate ...i hope my kit will come to follow your examples ....i doft my tricorn t'ye lad
Capt. Sterling Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 I'm a crowd... bloody hell I need to lose weight!

Kenneth Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 and Kenneth, very nicely done! Any pictures of just your waistcoat? Looks like a nice Demask.Cheeky Thank you Ms Cheeky! I found that fabric in a bargin bin for like $1.00 for 5 yrds.... Here's a closer pic I thought my kit would be done with by now, but after finding this site and reading through twill and all the learning, my clothing is long from being complete. When it is completed, I'll have to start on my second set of clothing. I want buckle shoes and a wig!! I so want to be a fop. "Without caffine, I'd have no personality at all"
Cheeky Actress Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Kenneth, I do like the 'texture' look to it. Is it a wool (wool blend)? FOP!? (SIGH)...I guess that means I'll have to pack more port, walnuts, tobacco, cigars, and snuff to keep all you "gents" happy at PIP! Cheeky Member of "The Forsaken"
Capt. Sterling Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Fop?? many, many gentlemen wore wigs... not just the fops... Wigs were a sign of wealth and power... hence the beginning of the term "big wig".... so in order to be pc you need to change your mind set regarding wigs... now did the average pirate wear them? Don't know but some could be got from a grab bag at the barber's... old wigs and cheap. And if ye did not wear a wig.. from many of the pictures of the middling sort, they at least wore their hair on the long side... fops yes, indeed wore wigs, did snuff, but also wore make up, patches, the very best clothes and seemed to practice effeminate behaviours all to catch the attention of the ladies...yes ladies... It was more their behaviour that singled them out... foolish clothes horses perhaps, but they are treated as a different breed from the Mollies Club boys. And as to buckle shoes... go see the boot threads in Twill... the majority wore em, has nothing to do with being a fop.

Capt. Lazarus Gage Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Here are some new ones from just this evening, left my baldric off, mostly wanted to show off the hat. I'v had the scallywag limited from the MacKay for some time now and thought I would mod it a bit, see what you think:
Black Syren Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 I just have to say being a Lady I think I would prefer a man with backbone rather than a fop.. Lazarus..have you been messing with the ladies, I think i see a hole in your hat from a ball...or do my eyes deceive me? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't) Â Â
Capt. Lazarus Gage Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 That was just a slight missunderstanding I PROMISE.
Kenneth Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007  fops yes, indeed wore wigs, did snuff, but also wore make up, patches, the very best clothes and seemed to practice effeminate behaviours all to catch the attention of the ladies...And as to buckle shoes... go see the boot threads in Twill... the majority wore em, has nothing to do with being a fop. Ah! the boot thread in twill, don't get me involved in that mess! Now when I said I want to be a fop, I mean it! Make up and all! I want blue shoes with bows. I want sky blue silk and frilly cuffs, I want white make up, rosey cheeks and a mole! Kinda like Tim Roth in Rob Roy. Make fun of my sway, but don't turn your back on me or I'll eat yer first born kinda Fop...No offense to the men in wigs and yer right, putting on buckle shoes and a wig doesn't make the fop, it's the mole. Capt Sterling! You look more like a gentleman to me rather than a Fop.. Cheeky, the fabric is a wool blend. I say that because when the weave comes loose sometimes, it feels slippery. The brownish color is wool, but the black woven through it has to be poly or something....hmmm. Look Tim Roth! "Without caffine, I'd have no personality at all"
Cheeky Actress Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Oh Kenneth! Keep talking! Here something I would enjoy! If I ever have the pleasure, I would be happy to do your 'make up' for you. I have been 'testing' the waters with several 'white' creames (face paints) None which I have found to give the right glimmer as of yet, but I am working on it. I might have to start making my own (Beeswax, talc and whatnot)... Flies...or patches of velvet...(not moles, luv ) would cover scars left from pox, or pimple...or just a fashion must! Name your passion, sir. Star, moon, or heart? I have found a wedding site that carries 'dyable' shoes. This would be lovely if I can find a pair of shoes that would be 'passable' with the right type of heel. Hmm...what size shoe do you have, Kenneth? We have (*or should I say had) a Planet Hollywood just about 2 hours from my house (Gureen Mills, IL) that had that lovely waistcoat of Mr. Roth's on display! It must have been a multiple item that was made for that scene. There were a lot of 'cuts, tears, and rip' in it. Yes, Tim Roth reminds me of Reggie Killingsworth from Port Royal. A true Fop with a temper that no man should ever challenge. Member of "The Forsaken"
Patrick Hand Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 FOP!? (SIGH)...I guess that means I'll have to pack more port, walnuts, tobacco, cigars, and snuff to keep all you "gents" happy at PIP! An' don't be fergittin' th' RUM fer us scummy Pyrates........
