So, it might be noted that I love pirate costumes and stuff! So this is an ever ongoing costume for me. Here’s an ever growing source of some supplies and inspiration.
Here’s some inspiration…

Beads…. lots of beads!
I’ve still got to get boots, a sword and pistols and then this is about done!
Pistols
£40 – I don’t want a cheap plastic one as I always break them…

Costume So Far
A handful of extras – lots of wrist bling, a pocket watch (not entirely in keeping with the time but looks cool), a couple of small chests and a couple of tankards.
