MEN'S PIRATE / RENAISSANCE COSTUME
If you are at this page, you
are probably a guy wondering what the heck you're gonna do!
Look, if you're really lazy, there are actual costume vendors at the
faire, and you can just buy yourself any part of an outfit right
there. Its not the cheapest solution, but the
easiest. Come early and pick out some threads.
If you want to try this on your own, here are some suggestions:
The best thing to do for shoes
is either find yourself some harley-style leather boots, or stick to
the sandals. Even Tivo sandals look better than tennis shoes if
thats what you have.
For a shirt,
you've got to either find a really big woman's blouse or you can buy a
Poet's shirt at one of the online stores. Find a large leather
belt or a really long sash to
tie around your waist. Let the shirt hang out. Also, vests
add to the look. For pants,
even a pair of baggy black Dockers would work, pull the bottoms above
your calf and tie them off with something. White tube socks won't
look good. Go sock-less if you've got sandals.
Accessories make a great look. You can also
buy those at the fair, but I'll warn you, they're not cheap
either. Leather belts, baldrics, holders of all types,
weapons, flasks.
Pirate Coats...
These are hard to come up with on your own, and are usually expensive
to buy. Unless you plan on using the costume a lot, I would stick
to the simple costume.
Here are some links I prepared to help you get ideas or
even order pieces online:
