Pirate on the cheap

Ahoy Mates! I am Shipwreck John, Boatswain of The Cursed Few. New recruits and potential recruits ask how did I get my piratical clothing or as we like to refer to it, garb. Well to be as honest as pirate can be, I acquired most of mine from merchants as am not a skilled tailor. That means I can't sew very well. With that being said, you may say, Boats, I don't have a lot of coin just laying around where I can just get everything I need at once, what do I do? I says price mil is an option, meaning get it as you can. Not including footwear it ran me about 90.00 dollars to get my garb initially and I didn't buy that all at once. There are several places to acquire the items you need which I won't go into detail here, but let's say you want to come and see what we do and hang out with us. Pirate on the cheap and get what you can when you can. A couple of ideas for guys, Do you have and old white dress shirt you don't use? You can cut the collar off, cut the sleeves off or just roll them up and make some tea and soak it to discolor it. Cut shirt tail so it is even around the bottom. Wear and old pair of black pants, and take off the back pockets and an old pair of dress shoes you don't use or are thinking about getting rid of,
and there you have it. You don't need to be fancy right away, for most of us have been doing this for years and acquired everything over a long period time. I say start simple and build as you go.
