The pirate’s life seems quite glamorous in all the books, video games and movies we’ve seen. They’re always riding on a mighty ship, flying the Jolly Roger and stealing valuable treasures from dangerous foes. They’re always swinging from the mast and clashing swords with other scoundrels of the sea. They’re always pretty chipper too, since they’re drinking copious amounts of rum and singing songs with their chums. Of course, real pirate life was a little less romantic.Being a REAL pirate back in those days meant a life full of hard work and constant danger. It usually meant staving off scurvy by eating lemons and slurping down less-than-clean drinking water. It meant swabbing the deck in the hot sun until your arms feel like they’re going to fall off. Then, after all that, you have to fight a gang of sailors who are just as angry and tired as you are, just to get your hands on a few chests full of tobacco. Just be glad that now, you can pretend to be one of those awesome pirates that you’ve read in books instead of a real one!This Pirate Flag Captain costume helps you transform into one of the deadliest men on the high seas and you never have to eat a lemon or fight an angry sailor to get it! This exclusive costume was designed by our expert costume designers and mixes the classic style of pirates of the golden age with a new modern spin. It comes with a shirt, pants, a scarf and 2 belts. Of course, the best part about this costume is a coat, which has a skull designed right into the side to help intimidate your foes before you even draw your cutlass!
Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of BRAINNNNNNNSWhen that black sail appears on the horizon, you'd better hope that it's Blackbeard! Believe us, the alternative is worse. You'd think that no merchant sailor would be happy to see the diabolical Edward Teach, but lately there have been rumors floating across the Spanish main about a ship full of pirates who are hungry for something very specific... and very messy!Product DetailsTerrorize the seven seas when you wear your exclusive Zombie Pirate Costume for Kids! The outfit's sleeveless shirt fastens at the back of the neck and is printed with details of bloodstains and exposed ribs. It looks perfectly creepy under the red jacket with its slashed hems and matching bloodstains. The pants add to the gore factor with printed graphics of exposed muscle. The pirate look is reinforced with the faux leather boot covers. The foam-backed hat is printed with a skull and crossbones images as well as additional faux bloodstains. Terror beneath the Topsail No one knows how it happened. Some say that the pirates stole an ancient, arcane artifact. Others say that they dug up another pirate's treasure and invoked an ancientcurse. Whatever happened, it's best to stay off of the high seas as much as you can. Don't travel if you can help it, and definitely don't transport any gold, silver, or jewels. The terrifying buccaneers will steal it all, which will make them work up an appetite, and then they'll keep you for dessert!
Being a pirate shoemaker has to be a frustrating job. You put all of your time and energy into crafting a pair of stylish, handmade boots specially designed for navigating slick decks and trudging across sandy beaches, and then what fashion trend comes along? Peg legs! Sure, the pirates still have need of your services, but they’re only buying half as much merchandise, which is to say nothing of the annoyance you feel when you think about how many of your beautiful boots have wound up on the bottom of the ocean, or in the belly of a shark, or in the hull of a sunken ship. These boots are made as pairs and it just seems a shame to swap one out for a boring old peg.Ah well, at least there are still some pirates out there who appreciate the shoemaker’s trade, like whoever winds up hitting the high seas in this snappy pair of black vinyl boots. Featuring multiple gold buttons for that seafaring flair, this flashy footwear laces up to just below the knee, perfect for the added protection a true rogue needs, or for just looking sharp at your next costume party. Just please make an old cobbler’s day and promise you’ll do your best not to come home with one boot and a peg leg.
Hats Off to You!Ahhh, your first voyage at sea. Many people think becoming a pirate captain is easy—just grab a boat, a ragtag crew, and pursue your rogue ways—but it's not so. Upper-level piracy actually involves intense training and land exercises on pirate base camps before you earn your "sea legs." It's all very intricate—and secretive of course—but nevertheless, you have completed the grueling training portion and are ready to set sail! Congrats!You'll need your ship, of course, and supplies, and your parrot, and wait...don't even think of pushing off from shore without the proper captain's hat!Product DetailsThis Carribean Pirate Hat is the ideal topper for your hard-earned wardrobe. It's a classic tricorn shape with a perfectly distressed, faux leather material for that "I have spent years at sea, pillaging and plundering," look. It's fearsome. It's weathered. It's the perfect hat for you to make your big blue debut.R-E-S-P-E-Sea-TRemember, the most important thing for a pirate on the high seas is his reputation—you want to be respected and feared in equal measures. And if there is anything we've learned about pirates after all these years, it's that no one respects a pirate captain without a really good hat. No one.
During the golden age of piracy, pirates had to battle tidal-wave sized krakens, crabs, and octopus if they wanted to get their hands on the dazzling buried treasure. Those who were able to defeat the underwater beasts were honored with special tricorn hats. These highly-coveted prizes feature menacing tentacles and killer suction cups which served as a symbol of bravery. Pirates would wear these octopus pirate hats especially while sailing the stormy seas so they could show their clout to rival buccaneers and dangerous sea monsters who may be waiting to ambush your ships.If you want to give your swashbuckler costume some prestige, you should definitely pair this octopus pirate hat with your rugged look. The sleek black hat looks great with the male or female pirate costume of your choosing. Accessorize the ensemble with a parrot prop, a peg leg, and a pocket full of golden doubloons! Wear your octopus hat with pride!
No Beard NeededEveryone always talks about the Red Beards and Black Beards of the seas. Well, what about the Turquoise Blouses or the Purple Skirts? Not all pirates were dirty bearded men. Some of them were strong, independent women! Now, it's your turn to represent the swashbuckling ladies that sailed the seven seas. Adventure was never meant to be exclusively for the boys!Go out this Halloween dressed up in this Kid's Deluxe Purple Pirate Costume. You'll be more than ready to go plundering all around town. Collect enough candy to fill a treasure chest! However, instead of burying it, try enjoying it.We don't know why those pirates all felt the need to bury their treasure. They'd always end up losing it. Then, rather than getting to enjoy their riches, they'd spend half a lifetime trying to find it again... leave it to the boys to come up with that bright idea.Product DetailsThis ensemble comes from our exclusive Made By Us collection. It is the perfect blend of elegance and danger and gives you everything needed to become the fiercest pirate in the sea. The dress is the first part of your transformation. It is designed with a cross-laced bodice. The color combination is what truly makes this dress fierce. It features combinations of gold and purple on the vest as well as the skirt.Lastly, the accessory that is included with the highly detailed and decorated dress is a pirate hat. It is made of the same fabric as the bodice, and backed with foam to hold its shape even through the wildest of waves and winds. Wherever you sail, people will know to run with fear as soon as they see your dreaded purple hat!
So, you are going up against some dark evil. You have been hunting it like the Winchester brothers hunt demons. Or the way that Batman chases down the Joker... or vice versa. Unfortunately, some prey have supernatural defenses that aren't always easy to prepare for. They might be immune to the standard methods, ignoring bullets and catching arrows in mid-air like it were a circus routine. You really need something a little more intense for this job.This Blade of the Damned Dagger might just be the thing for you. This faux weapon has the look of something that can stop anything in its tracks! Some say it was blessed by a voodoo witch in the 1800s. Others believe it came from the depths of the hells and is here to unleash doom. The reality is that it is molded plastic and styled with countless skulls and a black and red color scheme that you could die for! But we're pretty sure it will trick whatever sinister beastie is on the horizon... or at least make a fantastic addition to your demon hunting costume.
Bring Back Pirates Not many people want to be white-collar criminals, but plenty of dashing souls want to be pirates. Why? Because pirates are awesome, that's why! The buccaneers of yore were larger-than life. Blackbeard tied lit fuses into his beard during battles to freak out his enemy (we're guessing it worked). Sir Henry Morgan held a whole town for ransom and when the governor tried to capture him, offered a huge reward to anyone who would capture the governor instead. #Confidence, right?Product Details Pillage, plunder, and sack ships up and down the Spanish Main while wearing this Men's Deluxe Rum Buccaneer Costume! The exclusive costume includes a long red coat with white ruffles and a long blue cape, both trimmed with golden fabric. A fluffy white jabot shows that you may be a ruffian, but you're a ruffian with standards. Two belts accent your waist and chest. The comfy blue pants are great for a day of combat, and the tricorn hat is sure to impress even your enemies. Yo Ho Ho and All That Jazz Swash your buckle, load the cannons, and prepare to board! Once you've added your fake weapon of choice to this amazing outfit, you'll be the most impressive person at your next party or performance thanks to your sheer level of swagger. No ship sailing between the Americas and the Old World is safe from your marauding, and no dive tavern on a coastal beach can keep up when you're around. It's a gift, really.
You're notoriously evil, Mister Blackbeard. And you've got to keep up your look to prove it. The original Blackbeard lit his beard on fire when he was raiding ships. How is that for a work uniform! Yeah, you complained about the itchy polyester polo at your first job but just imagine if your whole face was literally on fire. It was his own choice but it would still cause some serious work comp scenarios. You don't need to play with fire to add a demonic flare to your look, just pop this Blackbeard Pirate Hat on your wicked pirate head. This hat has a slick look in a faux suede and is kicked into an edgier gear with the rivets around the three tri-folds. So, get out on that boat and keep those matches far, far away. Rocking this hat is a great way to have a true Pirate of Caribbean adventure!
A Pirate's Life For YouThe golden age of pirates might be a few years in the past (okay, so maybe it's a few hundred years in the past), but that doesn't mean that you and your kid have to give up on the dream! Where's your sense of adventure? You two could be out sailing across the high seas, digging up treasures chests on uncharted desert islands. You two could be out there with a cutlass in hand battling it out with a giant Krakens. You two could be pilfering Black Beard's secret treasure that just so happens to be buried in your backyard. Heck, you could even be out there pillaging all the cookies in kitchen cupboards. Of course, the first step to your own pirate adventure with your kid is imagination. Your second step? Well, that comes down to having a cool outfit to wear, which is where we come in!Product DetailsCheck out this Child Deluxe Pirate Costume! It comes with all the fixings your kid could possibly need to get the look of a rough and rowdy buccaneer. With faux leather accents, gold embellishments around the edges of the coat and some high-class looking cuffs, your kid will look like a top-notch pirate in no time. Just be careful! He'll be looking like such a daring scoundrel that he may just demand to be the captain of the ship.
The Jolly Roger CallsEveryone wants to know what you're going to be when you grow up. Why not tell them that you want to be a pirate? When you think about it, it's a pretty good job. You get your own ship to sail anywhere you want, far away from anyone who tells you to eat your veggies, and you have to have cool weapons. When you get rich, you can bury a treasure chest full of coins on your own personal island and dig it up anytime you need a little extra cash. What's not to love? Product DetailsLive a rover's life and dress in this exclusive Classic Pirate Costume for Kids! A white shirt with a jagged hemline and cuffs is just the thing to keep you cool in tropical waters. An attached black vest front is sewn with a skull and crossbones, and a black sash ties around your waist. Add the striped pants and tie the black bandanna around your head for good measure. Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of SodaWhen you ring doorbells on Halloween night, don't say "Trick or treat!" Instead, try, "Avast, swabs! You're being looted for treasure! Hand over any chocolate coins!" Just kidding. Pirates can still be polite. But there's no reason why you can't bury your leftover candy in a chest in your closet. It keeps any rival scallywags (aka your siblings and friends) from discovering your stash of treasure and doing a bit of pirating themselves.

Have you ever wondered where this pirate craze started? An argument could be made for Johnny Depp's rough and tumble captain act. That seems a little late since so many of us grew up loving the classic striped shirt, eye-patched look. We think that once we watched Peter Pan as kids, pirates were implanted as cool guy villains in our minds for good. As much flak as Hook gets, no one can hatch a plot quite like the suave Captain Hook.His nefarious nature takes pirating to the next level. He's got an undying greed for power over Neverland, a hatred of crocodiles, and a vendetta against the wily Peter. Somehow his best-laid plans are always ending in defeat, although he gets pretty close to victory. This elite Hook costume includes the fancy jacket and vest. The jacket is a rich red and detailed with gold braid trim on both the body and the sleeves. You'll feel like a truly imperial villain, just don't forget to invest in the classic curly tresses and hat that make the Captain look so dapper. Of course, remember to obtain Hook's dangerous prosthetic. Captain Hook wouldn't be himself without his hook for a hand.You'll be ready to finally get back at Peter Pan when you deck yourself out in this exquisite captain's coat and vest. Whether you've got some fantastic Halloween plans or you've earned a starring role in a production of Peter Pan, in this ensemble, you'll have the lost boys shivering in their timbers. Now, if you could only take care of that ticking crocodile!
Product DetailsWe know Hook's hot-headedness was part of his personality but we can't help but believe that if a women had his place on the ship she would have handled things differently, other than his red velvet ensemble that is. How could you say no to a rich red velvet coat and an oversized hat with white feathers?Honestly, if Hook had been a lady the pirate captain's conflict with the mischievous Peter Pan probably would have been cut short. After all, we all know that Peter Pan is the kind of little boy who can't stand to be ignored. If the female version of Captain Hook had simply given him a cold stare, lifted one eyebrow and went to ignore his antics as she plotted the crew's next voyage in her cabin Peter would have left them alone to go bother someone else in no time. Then Hook would have still had a hand and the pirate crew wouldn't have been stuck in Never Neverland, endlessly pursuing the flying wonder child! And the crocodile? It wouldn't take long before Miss. Hook was wearing a pair of striking crocodile skin shoes.You'll be ready to show those lost boys that they'd better stay in the forest in this striking ensemble. The coat is dramatic with gold piping and a belt to accentuate the waist. With boot covers, a dashing cravat, and the red and gold hat with white feathers you'll be instantly recognizable as the nefarious pirate captain, simply add the hook to make the look complete. It's about time Never Never Land had a lady in charge!
Did you ever really consider the full implications of the curiosities of Neverland? In a world where greedy pirates and tribal natives, frolicking faeries and mysterious mermaids, ageless orphans and weird Wendybirds all thrive amidst equally never-ending adventure, we’re gifted with a ton of insight into how the magical qualities of the place function. Flight is a gift that comes from a light and happy heart once blessed by a toss of magical dust from Tinkerbell’s tush, generally offered only to the kids of Peter Pan’s posse. But, is that all it takes? Could mermaids fly if dappled with the dust? Could they still breathe while flying around?These are the thoughts that often plague us as we try desperately to learn everything we can about the mystical land. At least until we manage to land a dose of that pixie dust, that is, but the mere quota that we receive in the office is always dedicated to bolstering the outfits that require just that extra hint of glitter and magic. Fortunately, we do have one other way to answer those questions…And that is where you come in! There is one other bloke in Neverland that has a chance to get the serious intel and you can step right into those shoes with this Deluxe Captain Hook costume. Now, the Neverland pirate isn’t exactly the best buddy of The Pan, but, we’ve got wind that a certain pixie isn’t too fond of the flying guy’s main source of pixie dust. A few carefully placed words or a gesture with a hooked hand is sure to get the juicy details! And, with this red velvet jacket with black trim, faux leather boot covers, and a flawlessly wired tricorn captain hat, you’ll be full on Captain. In case you’re the type to go the full image, feel free to either toss your hand to a passing crocodile or just pick up the Hook Hand if you want to go less gory. Neverland, here we come!

It's Parley TimeLife on the seas is the way to go! Pirates just know how to have a good time better than anyone else. Maybe it's the long days in the sun. Perhaps it's fact that they've got all sorts of islands they can hunker down in. We don't know what makes pirates so cool, in fact, after all this time we'll probably never know. But we figure you might as well wear the ruffles and talk the talk and hope some of that good-time-having pirate attitude rubs off on you! You can have all of the fun without any of the danger. Sounds like a good time to us! Just remember to wear plenty of sun screen and wear a life jacket when you walk the plank. You might be dressing as a pirate but it's still the modern era. It's up to you to parley responsibly.Details & DesignThis white Made-by-Us blouse is designed to be worked into the pirate ensemble of your choosing.

Out of all the pirate crews on every ship out on the Seven Seas, you're bound to find salty swashbucklers of every style and fashion. But, only one of them can earn the title of "Best Dressed Pirate" in the fleet. Dress up in this fiercely classy Regal Pirate Lady Costume, and you'll win that honor for sure!Being the best dressed buccaneer doesn't come with any prize money or trophy, or even a commemorative grog mug. They are pirates, after all, and can't spend precious treasure on fashion contests when there are cannonballs to be restocked and sails to replace. But being the chicest, most elegantly dressed raider does come with what is possibly the only thing more valuable in pirate culture than gold. (or even rum) We're talking about bragging rights, and when you're stuck on a galleon in the middle of the ocean with a pack of salty sea dogs, the ability to brag about being the best at something and having it be true can be sweeter than any treasure!Just one look at you strutting around on the top deck in this sassy pirate uniform will clear up any doubts of you being the best dressed outlaw on the high sea. This dashing bright red jacket looks absolutely stunning with its gold braiding and the included white lacy cuffs and jabot, and the elegant black pants will go perfectly with whichever sexy style of boots you add. You'll need an impressive hat to be the best dressed lady in the fleet, but you'd also better have a sword to help defend your title!
Commanding a crew of misfit pirates is no easy task, so before you commit to dressing like a pirate captain in this deluxe Captain Hook costume you should consider a few things. First, since this is a pirate crew you should be prepared to have them steal and loot at every opportunity, even the hook on your hand is not safe. Also, they are always armed so do not wander the deck of your ship without a sword or pistol at the ready. Finally, they lie about nearly everything so when they tell you you're on course you might want to check the charts yourself. Fair winds, matey.
The allure of the open sea and promise of untold riches has called many a young lad and ornery old man to the Seven Seas. Enlisting on or stealing ships that they pray nightly will carry them over the treacherous ocean. Sure, many think of these guys when it comes to the legends of famous pirates… but history is just too terrified to write the real accounts. After all, why are both the sea and the ships called she!? Do not be fooled… the lasses flying the skull and crossbone flags are the real buccaneers.Now, it is time to help your girl write her name into the pages of history and riches. You can take the first step with this Girl’s Posh Pirate costume.

The slacks are a red and blacked stripe and matching red head tie will warn your opposition that you mean business. A stylish period peasant-style blouse has sewn on faux leather that gives a perfect contrast as well as the look of a gal who is more than prepared for a bit of swashbuckling on the gangplanks. Be sure to pick up a weapon accessory, though, just in case some barnswaggle is foolish enough to try! When she signs up for adventure with this classic costume, the only thing she'll have to worry about is where to find good island to stash all that treasure on!

Avast me ‘earties, Yo ho!So you’ve bought your ship. Sure it looks like a Kia, but it’s really the Queen Anne’s Revenge.

You are missing this Governor Tricorn Pirate Hat.

That's how every privateer looks the first time he takes to the sea, and it's probably how he'd want to be remembered, unless he wound up with a really cool jewel-encrusted peg leg later on!So we've created this dashing Captain Hook Costume Wig to commemorate the halcyon days of a pirate's youth, before some accursed crocodile or wayward cutlass robbed him of his fresh face and 'extra' limbs. He cuts quite a figure, doesn't he? If those dark curls were just a little more orderly, he could probably pass for an officer in the Royal Navy. But that hint of chaos (and the faint scent of spiced rum) lets everyone know that he's a bit of a loose cannon!
When we say Pirate Hat, we know that there are only a few images that come to mind. Black Tricorn. And… uh… Yep. That’s pretty much what we’re left with. Give us a captain and we have the same hat every time. Well, how is a pirate supposed to make their mark on the world if it is always going to be the same hat as the last famous pirate to sail the seven seas!? How is anyone going to leave an impression and create their own iconic image? We know that you are looking at being the greatest and most fearsome and, most importantly, the most fashionable of pirates in history!Well, we’ve heard the need and are ready to heed your demands with this Sexy Pirate Hat. Create that reputation as the most terrifying yet fashion-forward pirate on the high seas. This black velvet hat is edge with black lace and a perfectly contrasting gold piping to give you an exotic and rich look filled with frills and thrills.

Stay devilishly good looking while you engage in your devious acts of piracy and make sure that your look is uniquely memorable!
Are your true intentions rather cruel? Well, you should probably aim to keep that information to yourself. If you plan to successfully be extra secretive this Halloween, then make sure you add this Garter with Dagger to any costume you plan on wearing. We know you may think that you can only do so much with a hidden dagger but you would be quite surprised at the practicality of this accessory. You can easily be a swashbuckling pirate with a secret weapon. Yes, we admit that one is kind of a gimme, but what about this possibility, you're an espionage specialist that always has a backup plan up your sleeve (or in this case wrapped around your thigh). You could even be a princess concealing her first line of defense! With this simple and secretive accessory, there are close to endless possibilities. So, before you think any costume you've planned out is complete, really ask yourself whether or not your costume be made even better when this Garter and Dagger is included.
Everybody knows that the surest sign of an able seaman is the ability to sound particularly pirate-y in everyday speech. And since this incredibly detailed costume is made for only the saltiest of dogs, we tried to give it a name that would sound at least half as swashbuckling as it will make you look—but that's a pretty tough coconut to crack!We had almost settled for Lieutenant Duplicity when our pirate expert kicked down the conference room door, stinking of fish and rum, with a flintlock pistol in each hand and a dagger clenched in his teeth. Fghfhg Fghfghfghfgh, he said. And after removing the knife from between his chompers, we discovered that he was hell-bent on naming this outfit after Captain Skullduggery instead!Recognizing that we were in the presence of a gifted pirate-talker, we immediately ceded to his demands. When you're dealing with the genuine arrrticle, that's pretty much business as usual. So if you want to harness the persuasive power of a prominent privateer, practice some seaworthy sailor slang. And it doesn't hurt to wear a dashing ensemble like this, either!The multi-part combo includes everything you need to look like a proficient parlayer, from the tips of your tricorn hat to the points of your faux-leather boot covers. The exquisite designs on the long coat and vest will lend your words an air of antique authority, and the whole outfit is designed to cut down on the time it takes to suit up, so you can set sail ASAP!
Dress for Success When you're captain of a pirate ship, you need to look the part. It's much easier to convince those treasure ships to give up all of their gold and jewels without a fight if you look properly impressive. That means no dressing in a worn-out sweatshirt (as comfortable as that would be) - ruffled and elegance are the way to go! Product DetailsLead your crew of swashbucklers to victory while wearing an exclusive White Pirate Shirt for Women! The long-sleeved top is made of breathable polyester broadcloth. The ends of the sleeves are gathered with elastic before flaring out into ruffles, and the V-neck placket is also trimmed in wide broadcloth ruffles. Adventure Awaits As the most dashing freebooter of all time, you're sure to become famous! It's a good thing you're dressed so well, because that will make your portrait look even cooler when it's included in the history books.

You can't just charge on board without making yourself more dashing.

Product DetailsHave that perfect "I'm a seafaring rogue without no scurvy side effects" thanks to this exclusive Pirate Makeup Costume Kit! The set includes several colors of nontoxic cream makeup so that you can give yourself a five o'clock shadow, dashingly dark eyebrows, and even a scar or two. A foam applicator makes it easy to apply as desired. Follow the instructions on the back of the case to remove the makeup. Here There Be HeartthrobsOne of the best things about being a pirate is that you can pillage, plunder, steal, and do lots of things that are normally frowned upon, but people still think you're awesome. Just don't try to take someone else's food at your costume party. That's still not cool.
The Finest Dressed in the Seven SeasIs a pirate captain really a captain if they don't dress the part? They need to flaunt their authority with grace and fashion sense. Their crew needs to know that they are being led by someone who knows what they are doing. Who would you rather be led by- a buccaneer in some ratty rags soiled by the sea, or an inspiring captain in full naval garb? Pillaging and looting isn't worth much if the gained treasure isn't spent on some lavish personal effects to show you mean business. Now you can take command of your crew and make them give you the respect you deserve when you dress as a well accomplished pirate captain. Product DescriptionTake on all the regalia of a leader with this gold trimmed costume. The two brown belts and white jabot give a bit of extra flair to the look, indicating that you know what fashion is, even out on the high seas. The cape completes the look of an accomplished scallywag. Give it a dramatic spin for pomp wherever your sea legs bring you. A head scarf and hat top everything off and will give you some added height for your crew to look up to!Says Who? Says the Captain!Both seafarers and landlubbers will be in awe of your decorum as you strut into the room (or galley) and give off an inspiring aura. Get your crew together and do whatever you want to do. You're the captain, and what the captain says, goes!
Girl on the High SeasSome say that the high seas is no place for a girl. They say it's bad luck for girls to be on a pirate ship. But they're wrong (as they often are). Your little lady has everything it takes to lead a crew of brazen buccaneers. Whether she's fighting deadly Kraken, plundering the vast treasures of the seven seas, or commanding her crew as the undisputed captain, your girl is capable of it all! All your girl needs is an outfit that will help her take command of the ship. This Girls High Seas Captain Costume is perfect for the job!Product DetailsThis kid's Pirate costume starts with a pullover tank top with a black and white striped pattern. The frock coat fits over the shirt and has gold braid trim, the perfect accent for any flashy pirate captain. The cuffs are turned up for a rebellious attitude and the false pocket flaps add extra realism to the look. The hat is made out of faux suede material and has foam backing to help it keep its shape. Of course, no pirate captain can head out on an adventure without a parrot friend! This pirate costume comes with a molded vinyl parrot prop, which attaches to the shoulder of the jacket. Put it all together and you have a look that's perfect for any young swashbuckler!
Things are getting out of control on the high seas these days. Sailors are putting on those pesky mutinies. Swashbucklers are becoming completely unbuckled. All of those pirates – where do they keep coming from? And from the state of things on board, it seems like nobody can run the ship but you. But how will you ever get all those scurvy characters to shape up and pay attention? Well, we’re sure you have the right qualifications and the strong personality and the great leadership abilities it’ll take to do the job. But perhaps we can offer you some assistance. This Plus Size Sexy Swashbuckler Captain Costume will give you a look that turns all those ruffians’ heads and make them start saying, “Aye! Aye!” at once.From the top of the lady pirate’s tricorne hat to the ruffled edges of the tiered skirt, this costume will help you command attention. There’s a corset top that means business, but it laces up with pretty ribbon for a ladylike look. The tiered, maroon skirt has a high low hemline to let you jump freely from ship to ship. Sleeves of the shirt are gauzy cotton for that romantic pirate look. The brown, faux leather belt is wide enough to define your waist while it pulls the whole look together. The plastic belt buckle has a fearsome skull at each corner to show you mean business. And that hat we were talking about is all feathered and saucy looking. You’ll want to get a pair of serious boots and some life life weapons and and you’ll have the high seas under control in no time!
Kid to Pirate KingIt's the pirate's life for us. The spray of saltwater against your skin, the wind in your hair, the smell of, well, fish and ocean stuff would be a daily occurrence (most of that sounds nice). We can't imagine how fun it would be to spend 90% of your time on the sea. There's probably a ton of downtime when you aren't plundering—think of all the activities you could do! Want to learn guitar? Just take one from the locals and teach yourself (hey, grab a guitar instructor while you are at it). Yeah, there isn't much job security with piracy, but real pirates, well, pirate for the thrill, not the paycheck.Design & DetailsDoes your child have a buccaneer in spirit? We're they born to be a sea captain? They will backflip from the top sail when they put their eyes on our Plunderous Pirate Costume for Children.

We exclusively make this child's pirate costume, so we made sure to add the details that any pirate buff will yo-ho for.
A Salty TaleOnce upon a time, on the Spanish Main, there sailed a pirate who was the fiercest and most ruthless of all. No merchant ship was safe from the pirate captain's swift ship and deadly cannons. What? No, it wasn't Blackbeard. Ol' Crazy himself was scared of this other pirate who was more cunning and keen than anyone else. It didn't hurt that she dressed better than any of her opponents. It made her even more terrifying. Product DetailsStride the deck and inspire your crew in this Captain Pirate Women's Costume! The outfit includes a bright red coat that fastens up the front and is trimmed with gold along the cuffs, front and hem. White ruffles at the wrists complement the frilly cravat. The blue cape looks jaunty when it's blowing in the sea breeze. It's the same fabric as the blue pants, which can be tucked into your boots. Add the two brown belts, head scarf, and tricorn hat, and set sail for plunder! Hoist the Colors You'll be more eye-catching than a ship flying the Jolly Roger in this exclusive costume! All you need now is a good pistol or cutlass in your hand and your favorite pair of boots to keep you standing tall. Some cannons would be pretty cool, but those are hard to find these days. So is treasure, come to think of it, at least in the traditional sense. A bag of gold-wrapped chocolate is a more accessible treasure, and so much tastier than doubloons.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me...Well, okay, maybe not a pirate's life. Pirates were notorious for bad hygiene, gross teeth, and bad diets (scurvy was a vitamin deficiency you know). So if we were to poll the office, most probably wouldn't agree to completely living a pirate's life. But a temporary holiday into a life of plundering, pillaging, and drink? That we can get down with. And not only do we approve of the occasional piratical act, we most certainly approve of pirate wear. We're talking puffy shirts and fancy vests, colorful scarves and scraps, corsets and grand pirate coats. Don't forget bandannas, mismatched jewelry, and bodacious hats. You can't go wrong dressing as a pirate. Seriously. You could collect random items of clothing and jewelry, put them on, and as soon as you start swaggering around, you'd be accepted into the crew.Of course some pirate wear seems a bit more piratical than others. For instance our Plus Size Pirate Costume. With ruffled sleeves, black skirt, and torn red-and-black-striped skirt overlay, you'll look right at home among our pirates and privateers. This outfit even includes the lace-up vest and striped headband. Just bedeck yourself in jewels, find yourself a weapon, and you'll be ready to hit the high-seas! ... or just commandeer the party. Whichever comes first.
