blackjohn Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 The most important thing when it comes to garb isn't being perfectly period correct, or being perfectly pure fantasy, since neither are really possible. The MOST important thing is being comfortable and HAPPY with your garb. I'll drink to that. Oh hey look, a tin cup full of Gosling's just happens to be sitting right here next to me! How fortunate!

Capt. Sterling Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Then does that mean that groups should not have standards?? and that anything should be allowed in every group? just wondering here folks "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silkie McDonough Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Not at all good captain. A group has standards. an individual on ones own makes a decision to either abide by the standards of the group or not be part of said group. I choose to be part of a group that strives for historical accuracy but does not toss you if you fall short ....the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCholeBlack Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Don't you and everyone else always wanna make thier garb/clothing / pyrate stuff even better........ Don't know about you Mr. Hand, but my garb has been functionally finished since Feb. The only piece I'm still working on is the cap and that's because the one I made didn't fit properly. Until something breaks or burns or (gods forbid) doesn't fit, then I am quite happy to wear my 1 set of clothes. Hey, at least I pack light Now I am spending my time focusing on learning about the 1690-1720 time period; history, social conventions, music, linguistics, arts etc. Lets face it, if all my time was spent on what I'm wearing and no time on learning about the time being represented, then I'd be nothing more than a manikin with nothing to add to a living history event.

Dorian Lasseter Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Just got back last night from Fort Niagara (F&I event) And found a grande sailors jacket... it is based on paintings by Hogarth among others, the folks that made it did the original clothes for POTC 1-3... BUT, they are serious historically correct, before hollywierd got them... Here's their website; www.barkertownsutlers.com No image on their site of it, but it's perfect. Looks like it's fitted because of the belt with my bellybox on it. Made in a linen blend or wool, mine is wool... Truly, D.

Capt. Sterling Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Is there a cuff on it or did you just leave the sleeve open and fold it back... Looks great... and great picture...

Dorian Lasseter Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 How to describe it... It s a split sleeve, no buttons... And folded back into a cuff... Almost dog-eared. Based on the one Hogarth painting with the fellow tied into a chair being carried off, in front of him is a sailor with a peg leg, the jacket he's wearing... and other images from other paintings...

Oh I'm sure we could make him bleed... I mean he could make himself bleed on it... LOL Both of you.... Actually, on saturday I did some fencing with sabre, and the one fellow was a very good modern fencer... both of us were in shirtsleeves and he whipped the heck out of my right arm. I'm not used to such a flexy weapon, and blocked accordingly, thus, still got hit... Two spots actually are scabbed now, but no real blood flow then. Don't worry, I will be wearing in the jacket in time.... Already got the sweat, blood and tears to follow... and dirt, mud, other stains... we'll see... Truly, D.
