Crowsnest "Cree" Buchanan's Pirate Pants

Often the most overlooked aspect of renaissance and tudor history is life at sea. With the edicts of the Pope to divide and conquer the world, Spain ruled the day in Renaissance Europe. Naturally Britain and the other protestant nations wanted what Spain had. Thus pirates and privateers were hired to plunder as much Spanish property as possible. Cloaked in this dubious legitimacy, sea lanes around the world were soon chocked full of upstarts, opportunists, and cut throats of every ilk. A good, loyal captain or sea-pilot was hard to find indeed. For those rare men with the fortitude to endure the rigors of piracy, nothing offered greater prospects of wealth or freedom. Brash, deadly, outrageous, and contemptibly clever, Misty Thicket Clothing is very pleased to offer these durable pirate pants.

The one item of clothing in our ensemble that a pirate "almost" always wore was his pants. Comfortable, very 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 a cinch waistband for comfort and convenience and are fitted with durable cuffs at the bottom for adjustment. Pant cuffs have reinforced stitching and are secured with leather lacing through a grommeted closure. The pants are also made available to you in a broad array of color and fabric choices.

Admittedly, the candy striped linen sash 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 sash. Most men favored a wide leather belt with a heavy leather baldric crossing the chest to hang guns and swords from. However "Hollywood" the sash may be, it is striking, and fits the dashing image of a swashbuckling pirate. The linen sash shown is available to you as an accessory.
