clothes make the pirate

Pirates of the Golden Age of Piracy were sailors and as such, they wore clothing suitable for the job of operating a tall ship. Most had been farmers, laborers, blacksmiths and such who hit on hard times or were pressed into service aboard ship.
olde tyme sailor didn't just stroll into Macy's, Ross's, or WallyWorld and buy something off the rack. Because, basically anywhere you might visit, there weren't any racks... it was all custom. From what I read of the time, most sailors made their own slops out of wore out sails, blankets, tarps and whatever else they scrounged that could be recycled, in more modern terms, upcycled into something they needed.

I admire that in a person
