The loose fitting pirate shirt (shift) is a rendition of the common shifts of the day. It is a standard, collared "poet" shift, cuffed at the wrist, and adapted with a single button closure and an open "V" neckline. The shift is made of a soft but very strong weaver's cloth in 100% cotton. The one item of clothing in our ensemble that a pirate "almost" always wore was his pants. Comfortable, loose, and flattering, these pirate pants are sure to keep even the baudiest pirate chaste and modest (Honest! Would a pirate lie?). Made in 100% cotton or cotton blend, the pirate pants have an elastic waistband for comfort and convenience and are cuffed at the bottom for adjustment. Pant cuffs are secured with a laced and grommeted closure. The pants are also made available in a broad array of color choices. No pirate would be caught dead without their crevatte. The crevatte has a curious and long reaching history as the de facto standard neckware for sailors around the world. It was worn as a basic scarf against cold weather drafts, was used as a handkerchief, and even ended up as a makeshift biggins to ward off the hot sun. We show it wrapping the head to keep all those dirty, lice-infested dreadlocks in place. Thus shown, it can hardly be called a crevatte, but can easily be wound into a proper necktie. Worn either way it is indispensible to a pirate and is available in your choice of color in 100% cotton. Admittedly, the red and candy striped sashes shown on our scalawag is more about style than authenticity. Only the hardest and least fortunate pirates would have resorted to keeping their clothing tied in such a way. Most men favored a wide leather belt with a heavy leather baldric crossing the chest to hang guns and swords from. However "Hollywood" the sashes may be, they are striking, and fit the dashing image of a swashbuckling pirate. The red linen sash is standard on all orders and a second sash is also available to you below in your choice of color. |
