hurricane Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 The movie folks are sellling off second tier costumes from the live action movie, Peter Pan. I have Smee's stuff and it is first class - hand stitched even. Who'd have thought. Yes, it may not be historically correct, but it's nice. A bit pricey, but the are selling whole outfits.

Cap'n Pete Straw Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Ooh! Thanks for the heads-up. I bid on something. Ain't saying what.... "He's a Pirate dancer, He dances for money, Any old dollar will do... "He's a pirate dancer, His dances are funny... 'Cuz he's only got one shoe! Ahhrrr!"
John_Flint Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 some of those outfits have some cool-looking elements, but as a whole, most of them are probably worth what you'll pay for them, if you know what I mean...
Cpt. Alva Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Can't afford anything at the moment, but it's all nice stuff..... I saved all the pictures for future reference, though..... nice that they're complete costumes "Disobediant Monkeys will be shot, Disobediant Undead Monkeys will be shot repeatedly until morale improves" "They Says Cap'n Alva went funny in the head and turned to Cannibalism while marooned on a peninsula."- Overheard in a nearby camp
CrazyCholeBlack Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 oh eye candy. Nuthin I like more.

Cpt. Alva Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 so, hurricane, any chance you'll post pics of Smee's stuff? and if you don't mind, how'd ya come across it? (I'm guessing you worked on the film?) I'd also like to see Hook's garb, ESPECIALLY the black "Travelling Coat" and hat.......

hurricane Posted September 27, 2006 Author Posted September 27, 2006 The same company auctioned off the principals wear about three months ago. I have the shirt, socks, hat , coat and pants for Smee. The pants are really something - wool, handstitched. They weigh about five pounds. But they are nicely crafted. I'll try to get a photo of them up here. -- Hurricane They are nice pieces, and not too out of line with what I spent for full outfits from Cutthroat Island... of course, PotC auctions can't be too far away. Disney originally auctioned off Jack's outfit just after the first movie came out. -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

Cpt. Alva Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Yeah, I remember those auctions......horrible frenzy.......I've researched it, and it isn't too hard to put Jack's costume together, there's nothing on there that's impossible to find.......and with Convention costumers trying their hardest to turn a buck, many elements are getting easier......though, some still want outrageous amounts...... I'm glad they haven't affected the Antique Liquor Bottle and Trade Bead market much though.....I collect 'em, and wouldn't want to have to pay more than I already am, for some of the more desirable styles......I think that's more to do with the fact that the PRIMARY POTC fan is 14 year old girls, who lack disposable income that someone with a College Education, and a career in their field pulls in......though, there are fans of every description, and I don't knock 'em..... Can't wait to see your pics......I've always wanted a full costume from a film....either an accurate reproduction, or the real thing.......and I have a VERY big place in my heart for Smee......I've loved the story since I was a kid, and he is without a doubt one of my favorite fictional pirates....... I love films, but I also love re-enacting, and I TRY to keep them separate......while I can find pieces for any film costume I might need, at a Living History Event, when I get home, I keep things separate......I'm making a Jack costume......I will never wear it at an event though, it's for my pirate bar......and won't even fit me anyway, because I'm a lot more rotund than Johnny Depp.........I put on weight when I quit smoking, and I love to drink.......so, things probably won't change anytime soon....though I do want to lose the weight I put on when I quit......

hurricane Posted September 27, 2006 Author Posted September 27, 2006 I have most of my Cutthroat Islands up on my site... http://piratesofthecoast.com/artifacts/index.html As I said, I'll try to get the newer things added to that page. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.
