Port Party, Ahoy! Silver Tooth Sadie had a reputation. She ran what they call a "tight ship". Her crew was always mopping the deck. Her ship cats were always fat, sleek, and shiny cause they kept the rats under control. And when it came to taking on other ships, they went in with a polished, foolproof plan. But there was another side to Sadie. When they rolled up to port, Silver Tooth Sadie's ship was always noticed. Once the anchor was in place she'd sally down from the crow's nest and tell the boatswain to break out the accordion. The crew could be heard cheering from across the harbor.

Neverland is ripe for the taking! It’s a paradise that’s loaded with perfect weather and plenty of treasure to be excavated. The only thing you need to worry about is a troublesome child named Peter Pan and his crew of Lost Boys! (You also might need to keep your eyes on any crocodiles that might be lurking in the area.) You’re going to need the kind of profession that keeps those kids in their rightful place, which means you might just need to become a pirate captain to get the treasure all to yourself.Yes, a pirate! That’s the only profession rowdy enough to give Peter Pan a run for his money, so to speak. Of course, you’d better brush up on your proper pirate lingo with phrases like, “shiver me timber!” and “ahoy me hearties!” But you’d also better have the proper attire. After all, no pirate can hold the title of captain without a ravishing outfit that commands respect from other pirates and lets you look ready to set sail.This exclusive Captain Hook costume is a plus size version of our women’s costume and features a look that’s perfect for invading Neverland, or for battling against the Lost Boys.

With a scarf keeping that noggin from sun damage and gorgeous dreads falling long past your shoulders, you'll be ready for that rough and tumble seafaring lifestyle. So, get that city boy head covered so you'll be ready for the high seas, savvy?

SASSY SASHESDo you know why the horizon at night gleams with a comforting red glow? The reason, according to legend, comes down to the fierce qualities of the Queen of the Sashes. The story goes that a mighty pirate set to the sea to explore every last corner of the world. Each place she visited, she would demand that the inhabitants there offer her the gift of a sash. Those who complied were given treasures and praise, such that they raised up sashes of their own all over their home. Those who refused? Well... let's just stick with happy stories, for now! And, yes, technically, the red glow is due to the diffraction of sunlight and the fact that red waves of light can travel longer and avoid being scattered far off into the atmosphere. But let's stick with the tall tale for now.

High Seas FashionYo ho ho, it’s a pirate’s life for us! And what a fashionable life it is. From the ruffled shirts to the buckled boots, the rogues of the Spanish Main cut dashing figures. It’s all part of the business. Would merchant ship captains surrender so quickly to buccaneers in jean jackets and Converse sneakers? We doubt that pirates would still have their legendary swagger if they wore T-shirts rather than tricorns.Product Details The trouble is, a pirate’s life can get pretty busy, what with all that pillaging and plundering. Sometimes it’s tough finding a tailor to threaten at cutlass-point until he rustles up a decent thieving outfit. We have the perfect accessories to put the swash in your buckle. This satin collar with its lace bow and matching satin cuffs will make you the envy of fellow pirates and terrifying prey alike. The collar attaches with a hook and loop fastener, and the wrist cuffs have sewn-in elastic so that they don’t fall off when you’re boarding a merchant ship. Add them to any garb for a rip-roaring, devil-may-care effect!
Are your true intentions rather cruel? Well, you should probably aim to keep that information to yourself.

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.
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!

He'll be looking like such a daring scoundrel that he may just demand to be the captain of the ship.
Rowing RogueThis Privateer started from the bottom... and yes, now he's here. When the sea called this pirate's name he was just a grimy little boy. He was hired to herd the ship's rats and swab the deck. It didn't take long before he rose above his station after he organized the ships rats into a choir that sang classic sailor songs and did jigs to accordion music. The captain saw this little boy for the natural leader that he was so he took the kid under his wing. Years went by and the street boy learned how to be a great sailor but he had a wild heart. He couldn't be told what to do. He needed his own ship. So one moonlit night while in port, he and his team of rats snuck over to a shiny new Brigantine and commandeered it. He and his rats were going places and this was just the beginning. Details & DesignThis Privateer costume features a long red jacket with an all-over sculpted scroll pattern. It has wide cuffs that are trimmed with gold brocade ribbon. The same trim falls down the front and frames the false pocket flaps. The outfit has a ruffled cravat to make you extra fancy. The outfit is complete with cropped pants and a hoity-toity brimmed hat with the same scroll pattern as the jacket. Treasure TalesAre you ready to set sail? No need to follow that old treasure map you found in some gross tavern, you've already got a treasure of a costume. You can tweak this costume to suit your personality just right. Pair the hat with a long, curly black wig, an eye patch, and a pirate hook. Choose boots or old fashioned loafers and you'll look right at home aboard a ship. If you're going to go rogue, might as well go rogue in style!
Ahoy There, Little MateyOnce upon a time, your little toddler was nothing more than a sweet peanut who gave you huge hugs, read books in your lap, and loved to play pretend in your backyard. Since then, they've grown up a bit—the hugs are fewer and far between, the books are longer and your kid can read them to themself, and the playing pretend? Well, it still happens, but in a quieter way. This Kid's Sea Scoundrel Pirate Costume, though, can take them back to their first captivating love—pirates—and ignite their imagination again! That little kid in them will leap out the moment your child sees this getup, and they will wrap you in a huge hug instantly.

It includes the lace-up shirt and striped pants, a belt with a big ol' buckle, a matching waist and head tie, and a pair of boot toppers. They will need to secure their own accessories — think an eye patch, a sword, or a parrot — but that should be no problem for a smart pirate such as your little one. Blast From the PastOnce they are dressed up, your kiddo will run to their closet and take out their old pirate stories and treasure maps, with a wondrous smile. They may even sit in your lap and read an old favorite. They may be growing up fast, but your child will always be your little scallywag, ready to sail the high seas!

Yes, to be captain of the Black Pearl, you must be a pirate of the highest caliber, like the one and only Disney's Captain Jack Sparrow.

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!
Avast, Ye Swabs! All toddlers are essentially pirates. There you are, sitting comfortably with a mug of coffee and a cookie, scrolling through your social media feed, and bam! A little hand sneaks under your arm and swipes the cookie. They'll take anything they like - your bedroom slippers, their older sibling's action figures, the dog's water dish. Literally nothing is off-limits. If you tell them not to take other people's things, they give you a blank look as if to say, "But EVERYTHING is mine!" That's why they can "share" your snack and wear your robe as a cape, but heaven forbid you touch anything of theirs. Then you'll see some gunpowder explosions!

You'll be laughing too much to care when she swipes your things - after all, it's her rightful booty!

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!
There's a Mixed Drink on the Horizon! Avast, ye swabs and scurvy dogs! Look alive as you hoist the mainsail, swab the decks, and do other nautical-sounding stuff! The breeze is fair across the waves and will sail us quickly into the harbor of the tropical island paradise on the horizon. There we'll be able to take up honest pirating once again: and by that, we mean spending our ill-gotten doubloons to celebrate with delicious drinks topped with little paper umbrellas. Product DetailsWant an outfit that looks dashing, dangerous, and ready to party? You need this exclusive Rum Captain Costume for Men! The costume includes a long red poplin top that's designed to look like a nautical jacket. It's decorated with gold trim along the center front and around its turned-up sleeve cuffs, which are also sewn with white chiffon ruffles. The matching chiffon jabot can be fastened around your neck. Two faux leather belts with gold-tone buckles secure around your waist. The foam-backed tricorn hat looks extra awesome when worn over the triangular chiffon scarf. A Pirate's Life Being the swashbuckling pirate captain isn't all Hurricanes in tall, frosty glasses, you know. It's also full of important duties, like provisioning the ship for the next long voyage through the Spanish Main. You have to calculate how well the supplies held out on your last trip and plan accordingly. For instance, when you sail out again, you'll probably need fifteen casks of rum instead of five. Thirsty pirates get cranky, after all. You can leave some of the gunpowder behind to make room - it's not as important.
Hoist the Red FlagWe're taught to hide our dangerous side our whole lives. We all have our flaws. It's only fair if folks know what they're getting into. Letting out your pirate side can be so freeing! Instead of suffering through getting the wrong order in the restaurant and leaving a mean review online, you get to send it back until you get what you ordered (hardtack and anchovy paste?). And when you are getting frustrated by your boss continuously asking you to work late. Leave her with an unforgettable message by swinging from the chandelier and crashing through the window onto the deck of your ship below. And when you're heading out for the evening and someone cuts you off in traffic simply have your date steer your vessel, clench your dirk's blade in your teeth, launch yourself onto the other car, and commandeer it for your fleet. Either your date will see that red flag and run or they'll become intrigued and join your crew. Product Details & DesignThis Made-By-Us pirate costume is sure to make any scallywag feel tough yet fashionable. The faux leather printed jacket will swing with you when you swing from the masts. The light-weight blouse underneath has ruffles around the neckline and a dashing cumberbun sash around the waist. A heavy belt can clasp any prop weapons you choose to carry with you. The look is pulled together with the soft trousers and topped off with a jaunty tri-corn hat. Ready, Set, Row!When it comes to the pirate lifestyle, accessorizing is a whole lot of fun! Polish off your look with a jolly roger necklace. Wrap your hands in rags for climbing the ropes and throw on rings to trade for rum when you're in a tight place. And never forget to layer on the eyeliner. Like how you look? Leave a review of this costume and you'll have a special place in our crew for life!
Sometimes when you're a pirate you have to make sure everybody around you knows that you're the one in charge and you mean business. One of the most effective ways to do that is by wearing skulls or bones wherever you can. The problem with this is that although it does establish your toughness, bones just aren't a very pretty thing to wear by themselves and they can smell a little bit too much for people to be able to, let alone want to stick around and listen to what you have to say. Get a load of this skull ring though. It can both show your power as captain and show off your wealth. There's absolutely no smell to it either so the rest of the crew can respect you as the only person on the ship who bothers to shower every now and then. Not a pirate? This also works great for a vampire or goth costume.

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.
Ah, my Lord, may we bend your ear for a tip? You seem like a merry fellow, and we would be remiss if we did not point out a small thing before you head off to the local Reniassaince Faire to join in the merry-making! Tis’ a wonderful thing, the Faire - a fine way to spend a day of your short life before you are killed by a common cold or some other pestilence that could easily be avoided with proper waste management! But no matter that, now…we can see that you are excited for a days of festivities - large mugs of ale and mead, a few horse sports, voluptuous and comely wenches as far as the eye can se, and an array of fine merchants, selling exotic spices and seasonings from across the sea! Twat a wonderful day it twill be!But we must warn you, sir - if you go to the Faire without this Black Satin Sash, your white billowing shirt will blow around in the wind, causing you to look uncouth and not worthy of good company! Seems like a silly thing indeed, for a brawny man like you to wear a Sash, but we ensure you, that is how it was done back when the nobility basically ruled a serf’s life and could make them do their bidding without recourse or representation from a court of law! And you, sir, seem like a noble sort, so play the part of the gent by complimenting your costume with this touch of black. And don’t forget your sword, a pair boots, and a jaunty hat! Now tarry on, good sir!
Problematic PollyPirates keeping parrots as pets is a mystery to us. First of all, a pirate would have to keep the parrot fed and safe while sailing the high seas. We imagine that could be a problem at times. Even if feeding wasn’t a problem and the exotic bird was a valuable treasure to their marauding companion, their ability to learn human speech would be concerning. Sure, a talking parrot could relay gossip from rivals and wannabe mutineers. But if Polly was sharing more than requests for crackers, say their keeper’s secrets, they could cause plenty of sticky situations as well.Honestly, we’d say leave the bird at home. Unless of course, it could do more than squawk and look pretty…Design and DetailsExperience the best pirate life with the most useful and quietest pet a pirate ever had! By combing vibrant red, yellow, and blue fabrics with soft-sculpted talons and facial features our jolly crew of designers created this versatile accessory. Improving this Polly was simple! By adding a zippered-pocket to the back, this plush purse provides a safe place to bury all your personal treasures. The attached shoulder strap gives you a variety of comfortable options for carrying your new pet as well. So, whether you’re heading out for a long treasure hunting adventure or simply visiting a Halloween party, this silent companion is a must-have!
