I was using a random coconut shirt that I’d picked up on my travels but it wasn’t quite right.
I’ve now switched to using a ‘viking’ shirt from Aliexpress…
I need a tricorn hat!
$10-$20 https://www.aliexpress.com/
Cheap hats look terrible but there are a load that looks good for around £50 on https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1433632996/gothic-pirate-tricorne-hat-with-black
This one looks good and the seller has a range…
£144 – Still need a sword as well….

£63 – Relatively cheap and fairly accurate but I don’t like the enclosed basket hilt or the cheesy engravings!

£43 – this one might be the winner

Stumbled randomly across a couple of really nice swords…
Some of these aren’t available any more but I couldn’t afford to spend £400 on a really nice cutlass. I did however stumble on a ceremonial sabre in a second hand shop for £30.
Its not accurate as its a sabre and not a cutlass but at least its a curved sword.
