So what makes a pirate costume ?
Most pirate costumes that people like to dress up in today are inspired by the Golden Age of Piracy in the 17 th century. This period has been generally romanticized and polished up by countless pieces of literature such as Treasure Island and many of the myths and legends passed down and recorded in books like “A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the most notorious Pyrates”. This lead has been followed by Hollywood movies with the likes of Errol Flynn and Johnny Depp as popular heroes/anti-heroes. The latest and probably most popular of all time being the Pirates of The Caribbean trilogy of movies
The reality of the time was not quite as benign as the myths and the pirates were viewed by the authorities at the time as ruthless, bloodthirsty thugs. Most were hunted down and not many lived to tell their tales into old age. But heck, lets not get too miserable…you’re looking for a costume to do some swashbuckling in !
