Head Scarves


Hawkyns

Recommended Posts

Question from another list i'm on- does anyone have any primary source documentation of 18th c people, seamen or otherwise, wearing a headscarf under a tricorn? I looked through the sources so far and have not found anything.

thanks, Guys

:lol:

Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl

I do what I do for my own reasons.

I do not require anyone to follow me.

I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs.

if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.

Very good question, Hawkyns!

Haven't found anything yet, but will continue looking.

Yours, Mike

Try these for starters- "A General History of the Pyrates" edited by Manuel Schonhorn, "Captured by Pirates" by John Richard Stephens, and "The Buccaneers of America" by Alexander Exquemelin.

I believe that one of the prints from the "cries of london" series has a dude with a headscarf and tricorn....

I'll have to look.

Great work!

Would it be possible to have a sticky thread on clothing items such as this?
