Rogue Mermaid Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Quick, someone call Mrs. Brady and tell her they're selling her coat on Ebay
Rumba Rue Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Coat: Well it's too small for me, but you are correct, with some spritzing up, with say black cuffs, trims, new buttons, it would be just dandy. Shirt: yuck Boots: sold glass tricorn: not my style
Gentleman of Fortune Posted February 8, 2006 Author Posted February 8, 2006 I have to wonder what the heck a "poet" shirt is anyway..... and if I was a poet, i certainly wouldn't wear one. Come aboard my pirate re-enacting site http://www.gentlemenoffortune.com/ Where you will find lots of information on building your authentic Pirate Impression!
greenighs Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Aaarrr, being but a poor swabbie trying t' raise a herd of hungry seahorses on a graphic designer's salary (mine, alas), I considered Ebay fer me pirate accoutrements. Then I decided that it be better t' take it slow an' choose good stuff I'll not be 'shamed of later, than t'spend me silver on poor quality, cheap hollywood looks. So this year, I bought me tricorn from th' MacKay (four more weeks!) an' I'll pick up th' rest o' me gear as opportunity finds me. (I wouldn't have even started with the hat, 'cept for the party me & mates be giving in April, where I have t' look me best, if not authentic at all. An' besides, it be so purdy!) Problem is, being a woman o' bountiful curves as I be, an' holdin' no illusions as t' me place in society (I'm no Captain nor Lady fair, but an 'umble barnacle scraper lookin' fer a break), it's hard t' find practical sailor's kit that would fit! There ain't been a bodice yet could keep me girls at bay, and skirts ain't fit for haulin' cargo an' boarding enemy ships. So what's a seagal to do? Rope sandals, o'course, t' save me spendin' on stockins an' boots ... I'm trying t' find a pattern for a shirt an' short work jacket, an' some coarse linen so I can sew it meself, by hand. Would breeches be an option, rather than slops? The thought o' me in a pair o' slops brings t' mind a tall ship in a gale ...
Pirate Petee Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I don't know, slops are mighty cumfy. Is that how you spell comfy....cumfy? Oh well, they are easy to make too. You can make um longer or shorter as you like. The McKay makes some good hats doesn't he, the best out there.

kass Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 I have to wonder what the heck a "poet" shirt is anyway..... and if I was a poet, i certainly wouldn't wear one. Methinks they be meanin' those shirts worn by the famous poets: Shelley, Lord Byron, and Keats in yer historical drama Blackadder, Mr. Gentleman, sir... Yaaaaaarrrrr! Love the blue glass tricorn! Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!
kass Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Greenighs, my dear, there is hope. Step one is avoiding eBay at all costs (at least until you have a better idea of what's right and wrong, so you can avoid spending your hard-earned cash on junk). I don't know if you are a seamstress or know of someone who will sew for you, but I produce patterns for clothing from the Golden Age of Piracy. They are multisized 6-26 so to fit all manner of women, large and small. And there are men's patterns too if you choose to attire yourself like Bonny and Read. The first six of the thirteen patterns are listed on the Preorder section of my website. If you have any questions about them or anything else, feel free to PM me. If you post here, I may not read it quickly as I'm busy finishing up the first patterns which will ship on Monday morning! Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!

I have a friend who sews, an' she can help me cut an' pin th' pieces, an' then I can hand sew fer authenticity (or as close as I can get). It's not that I want t' disguise melself as a man, because I'd never "pass," but it's pretty obvious that women didn't get t' do much pirating in pretty dresses an' heeled boots, an' I want t' learn real pirating, from tying knots t' loading cannon, t' bailing bilgewater. So, I'm gonna learn as much as I can, get th' skills together that could earn me a spot on a crew that would be willing t' suspend disbelief fer th' occassional raid. It's goin' t' take me a while, but I've got time. I'll order th' patterns as soon as me purse allows! Thanks again!
Bloody_Mary_Bonney Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 How Mary responded to first post.... *= thoughts (mary in pjs at computer wondering on the best way to kill her mother) *doo dee doo dee doo click click kill click* Mary catches sight of really weird color coat Mary sprays out diet docter pepper trying to hold in laughing which scares a dog lying on the couch next to computer.... *just when i thought pirates dont get more metro* End scene but seriously..... you guys worry me But why is the rum gone?

Capt Grey Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 ROTFLMPAO! There ye' go mates! If'n ye don't like t'topic, don't get mad just make fun o'it! Or do what I do with some of the Star Wars prop sellers on e-Bay, tell them that they should change the title/description because their item is not "movie-accurate", "historically accurate". Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.
kass Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Laughter is the best medicine, Captain Grey. Always thought so... Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!
