We're not really sure why pirates always get called swashbuckling. That's partly because we don't know what the word swashbuckling means, and partly because we think one of the defining features of a classic pirate costume is a classic piece of headgear, like our exclusive Captain Meyer Pirate Hat. Okay, okay! We'll look it up. It says here that swashbuckling is a compound word that's part reckless sword-waving and part carrying a small, round shield. But any knavish halfwit can waggle a sword about like a ninny! It takes a pretty smooth sailor to make it as a pirate, and the sharpest among them couldn't care less about a silly little shield. They're all too busy admiring the look of this Captain Meyer Pirate Hat, which their instinctive pirate shrewdness led them to purchase. They know that these detailed hats, designed and made by yours truly, are a real barrrgain!
Did you know the infamous Captain Blackbeard was actually rumored to have lit his own beard on fire in battle? Yup, if true, it was his idea to try to both intimidate his enemies and to make them think that he was a little off his rocker, and according to historical accounts, the tactic was indeed successful.This Pirate Ruffian Beard is styled to look just like a beard that would have been sported by a rough and tumble captain of the high seas, i.e. a pirate just like Captain Blackbeard. With 100 percent synthetic fibers, the strands are jet black, and the faux facial hair prop secures to your head with an elastic band.So, just in case any ideas are fermenting in your brain right now, we have to add that we seriously do not recommend lighting your own beard on fire. Seriously. Especially, and we can't stress this enough, when your beard consists of synthetic fibers! Yes, your own real hair will burn and will probably scald you too, but lighting up synthetic hair will straight up start a four alarm fire. So, to recap, make sure you complete your authentic pirate costume with this beard accessory, but whatever you do, do not try to light it on fire!

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.
Pilfer and Plunder Here's the thing about toddlers: Normal property rights and unspoken, understood social norms about who has a claim on what just don't apply to them. Were you eating that bagel? Well, they saw it and they want it, so it's theirs now. Sorry. Was another kid playing with that toy? Not anymore, because they're about to commandeer it. A toddler would make an amazing natural pirate. It's a good thing for the rest of us that they don't have access to cannons. Product DetailsHoist the Jolly Roger, because your little one is ready to terrorize the Spanish Main in this exclusive Pirate Costume for Toddlers! The unisex outfit's pullover shirt features sewn-on black vest panels, one side of which is printed with a skull and crossbones graphic. Its wrists and hemline are jagged to match the red and black pants' hemline. The long black sash can be tied as desired around your child's waist and is a great place to stash a prop or two. The rectangular black scarf can be folded and tied around the head. Belay, Me Hearties! It's Halloween: a pirate's favorite holiday! Any buccaneer would be delighted to participate in a tradition where taking candy is the name of the game. They don't even have to threaten anyone with their cutlasses and daggers. Most people are only too happy to hand over their sugary treasures to adorable little pirates. If Blackbeard had known about this hack, he would have been a lot more popular.
So, you and your little girl are headed on a treasure hunt? Well, X marks the spot when you're hunting for buried treasure, but actually getting to the “X” on the map can prove to be a lot more difficult than expected! You may have to fight against a whole crew of scallywags before you can claim your treasure, which is why it's important for you and your little girl to be fully prepared for a swashbuckling adventure when you take those first few steps! That's why you need this toy pirate sword!This Pink Pirate Sword gives your little girl the kind of weapon she needs when she's planning to set sail on the high seas! It's made of plastic, so it's a lot safer than a real sword while she learns how to fence like a real pirate, but it also looks just like the real thing, so it should scare off any sea dogs who try to stop her from finding treasure. Of course, it has a cute pink handle, so your little girl still gets to add a dash of her own unique style to the her look, even with her choice of weaponry!
Time to Grow UpSome kids never want to grow up. Those kids spend their days wishing that they could head on carefree adventures forever. Other kids? Well, they can't wait to grow up (As adults, we think this is a little preposterous. We grew up an it's not all that it's cracked up to be). Those ambitious young kids want to shoulder the weight of the world. They crave the extra responsibility and the chance to lead. They want to be the captain of the ship... both figuratively, and sometimes literally!Those kids would much rather assume the role of Captain Hook than some kind of trouble-making preteen! For those kids that WANT to grow up, we have this exclusive, Made by Us, Captain Hook Costume for kids.Design & DetailsInspired by the classic character from the novels, this Captain Hook Costume has a regal, very grown-up, sort of aura. The costume comes with a soft, red jacket made out of velour. The jacket fits with gold button and loop fasteners in front. The matching pants have an elastic band in the waist to help ensure a snug, yet comfortable fit. The white cravat is constructed out of chiffon fabric and fits around your child's neck. To finish the look, the costume includes a foam-backed captain's hat, which comes with wire in the brim so you can shape it as you like! Once your child has it on, they'll be ready to command a whole ship full of pirates!
It's no secret that a pirate costume is always a good choice for any costumed occasion. After all, who wouldn't want to look like they live on the open water, do whatever suits them, and answers to no kings? But, have you ever stopped to think about what kind of pirate to be? We'd have to say this Sexy Spanish Pirate Costume is the perfect swashbuckling ensemble for your Halloween party!To find out why, open your history books to the "Golden Age of Piracy," which is basically where the pop culture idea of pirates comes from. During this period, the Spaniards were the head honchos in the Caribbean, and Spanish galleons (huge, heavy cargo ships) taking treasure back to Spain were some of the hottest targets for pirates (because "treasure"). We know you're still asking why Spanish pirates are such cool pirates to dress as, since it'd be kinda shady of them to plunder their own country's ships. Well, it's because many of them actually attacked other pirates that had stolen treasure from Spanish ships! So, many Spanish buccaneers, like the infamous and wickedly named Amaro Felipe, were actually "pirate-pirates" which make them pretty fearsome!Phew, sorry about the lecture, but we love talking about pirate history, almost as much as you'll love dressing up in this sassy swashbuckler outfit. This bold, ruffled costume comes with almost everything you need to make every other pirate you meet throw down their arms. Just add a pair of fierce buckled boots and a pirate sword, and you'll be the hottest marauder on the Spanish Main!

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 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!
Behind the weathered eyes and hooked prosthetic hands of every scurvy dog and crusty old salt there lives a dashing young buccaneer with a smashing set of slick black ringlets and all of his appendages intact. 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!
Yo Ho Hoedown!There's gotta be something about being on the open sea that has those pirates ready to shake their boots. (And we don't mean being afraid, either!) Not only do you have the sea shanties that can get anyone ready to sing, but the planks of those big boats are just begging for some foot-stomping fun!Of course, if you're going to get your pirate dance on, you better be geared up for the job. That whole "no street shoes on the gym floor" rule is just as important out in the seven seas! (If you don't believe us, just ask Peg-Leg Sam!)Product DetailsFear not, our mateys. We've got your back. Or, rather, we've got your feet thanks to these Crossbones Pirate Boots for Kiddos!

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!
Tiny Terror By Edward Teach's smoking beard! You've run afoul of the most ruthless pirate ever to sail the Seven Seas! Don't be fooled by his small size, or by his sweet smiles and gurgles. This pirate is not to be taken lightly. Unlike the cutlasses and cannons of his pirate brethren, he has an entirely different (and much more deadly) set of weapons in his arsenal. Try to fight it all you want: He's still going to steal your heart and hold it hostage. On the plus side, you won't mind at all. Product DetailsThis Halloween, dress your swashbuckling sweetie in an exclusive Pirate Costume for Infants! The outfit includes a white pullover shirt with a notched neckline, elastic sleeve cuffs, and a jagged hemline. The black vest panels are sewn onto the top, and the left side is printed with a skull and crossbones graphic. The black and red pants have an elastic waistband and jagged cuffs. A long waist sash can be tied as desired, as can the matching black scarf. Take No QuarterAs mentioned before, this pirate has entirely different methods of attack. No gunpowder or grappling hooks necessary: Instead, he'll fuss for you to pick him up and then give you his patented Totally Adorable expression. He'll try to gum your phone and anything else you leave lying around, because as any pirate knows, anything that he wants should automatically belong to him. He doesn't need to visit the Caribbean to be the cutest scallywag ever!
Solid Career Choice Instead of a firefighter or a police officer or an extreme skateboarder, why not plan to be a pirate when you grow up? It's an awesome occuption that someone needs to reboot. You'll get to terrorize the coastlands and raid rich merchant ships. Once you've gotten rich, you can continue your legacy by hiding some of your ill-gotten gains and creating scary treasure maps full of booby traps to protect your wealth. If it was good enough for Blackbeard, it's good enough for us, too! Product DetailsYou'll shiver some timbers for sure when you wear your exclusive Budget Pirate Costume for Boys! The one-piece top is designed to look like a black leather vest with a lace-up neckline worn over a white, collared shirt. A pair of matching faux leather gauntlets can be fastened over the sleeves. The brown pants tuck nicely into your sea boots, while the striped sash matches the striped headscarf to make you look extra dashing. Once you've picked out the perfect cutlass, you'll be ready for the open seas! Buccaneer in Training Even if you don't have a ship or a crew yet, you can at least practice for the day when your name will make sailors tremble throughout the Spanish Main! Trick-or-treating is kind of like pillaging and plundering, even if the pillaged households are greeting you with smiles and offering you candy. Maybe they know that resistance is futile. The one significant difference between pirate business and Halloween is that you probably shouldn't bury your treasure.
Take it from those who have gone before you…the secret to commandeering a pirate ship is a well dressed, stylish captain. Dirty clothes, yellow teeth, and questionable personal hygiene doesn’t exactly instill a lot of confidence in your shipmates, now, does it? Especially when what you’re asking of them is to do the kind of plundering that could literally get them a one-way ticket to the gallows! C’mon, matey - if you don’t take yourself seriously, how can you expect anyone else to?So take our advice and get yourself one of these White Pirate Shirts. With its large billowy sleeves and laced front pocket, not only will you look the part of a swashbuckling hero who rides the sails just outside the law, but you'll have all the local sailors wondering, "How did he get so successful that he feels comfortable wearing a freshly pressed, clean white shirt in both the slums of London and on the high seas? What does he know that I don't? What's his secret...?" The White Pirate Shirt even comes with a faux leather (because you might be a pirate, but you're not a monster!) belt with a gold-tone buckle for that extra debonair touch. A'hoy!
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).

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!

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!
We’ve long been supporters of the humble poncho. Yes, we know that some people think that a poncho is only good for wearing in the rain, but we’re here to enlighten you on the benefits of wearing a poncho, especially if you’re planning on being a pirate this year. Let’s go through a classic scenario that could happen during your time as a savvy swashbuckler to illustrate some of the pros of wearing this pirate poncho costume instead of another type of pirate outfit.You dug up a secret map and you’ve traversed the seven seas to a hidden island. You find yourself surrounded by scoundrels and brigands as you finally locate the most coveted treasure of the Caribbean. You reach for your cutlass and attempt to take a fighting stance, only to have your frilly sleeve cuff get tangled in the puffy frills on the front of your pirate shirt! Your enemies capture you, steal the treasure and leave you stranded on a deserted island.You see, with a poncho, your arms are always free for any form of trouble that might happen during your pursuit of treasure! Even if you just plan on parleying with a party of pirates at the next swashbuckler soiree, you’ll be glad your hands are free to partake in the snacks and drinks available. If some uncouth buccaneer starts a squabble, then you’ll be free to draw your blade and deftly dispatch of him without sleeve cuffs or puffy shirts getting in the way of your master swordplay!
The Pride in PerilThe Pride of Paria has been sailing the Seven Seas for years. Landlubbers and pirates alike whisper about what the ship's captain might be searching for. This ship has faced more danger in the last few years than any other vessel in the Caribbean. It's ventured into the dark places on the map, you know the place where all those monsters are drawn onto the parchment? That's a no-go for most pirates. But The Pride of Paria spent a good two weeks exploring every nook and cranny of those coves.They fought off scaly monsters, avoided the songs of sirens. They even had dinner with a group of cannibals! Lately, the Pride has been spotted anchored at the Spanish coast and we have to say, the captain seems pretty happy with herself.

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.

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.

Letting out your pirate side can be so freeing!

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.

Thar She GoesBeing a lady pirate is a lot to take on. It's hard physical labor for one. You rarely get a hot shower. And those filthy-mouthed pirates often need to be put in their place. Plus, there was that whole legal battle last year about female pirates not getting an equal amount of booty as their male counterparts. Luckily that has since been rectified.But there are some plusses to being the only woman pirate on a ship, as well. You get your very own cabin. You often get out of some of the deck-swabbing. And you get the best fashion on the whole ship. Just look at these very cool Women's Black Pirate Boots! They are functional footwear that will keep your toes toasty on long voyages, but when paired with your perfect piratess outfit, they also look totally cool!Product DetailsThis pair of knee-high boots is crafted from man-made materials and features both a side zipper, for easier access, and a lovely and era-appropriate back lace. The heel is a mere 1 inch tall, so it won't impede any of your on-deck activities. Put Your Foot DownJust remember not to let these stinkin' pirates push you around—after all, you earned your place on this crew as much as any of those scallywags!
Parley. We wish to speak with the captain.The right leader can be hard to find. Especially in a group of unscrupulous, lying, cheating, no-good...wait, are we talking about politicians or pirates? Sometimes it can be hard to tell. Oh, that’s right pirates are the one with the code.The pirate code is not one to be trifled with. Under this code, the crew could vote for their commanding officers. Once a man signed this code, by making his mark, and swearing over crossed pistols, he was allotted a portion of the plunder, and was part of the decisions aboard the ship. If someone went against the code however they were stranded on the next island they came across.When you put on this Cruel Seas Captain Costume you are in turn swearing to uphold the pirate code. You promise to let the men under your command have an equal right to the loot you will relieve other ships of. When you wear this dress you agree to grant the request of parley to anyone who asks. Putting on the skull and crossbones sash makes you responsible for your crew. Any crime they commit, you commit, so find a way to keep them under control. And don't be afraid of stranding someone who breaks their oath, because that is the price you pay when you are a pirate. You live by the code. Unlike politicians.

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. Because while Sadie might be all work and no play while working hard on the open seas, she knew how to have a whole lot of fun when it was time to relax. Maybe you don't know this but there ain't no party like a pirate party!Design & DetailsThis fearless look features a gorgeous jacket and a flowery corset with bright accents and a classic pirate hat. The jacket has a beautiful scrolling pattern along the waist and detailed sleeves with wide cuffs. The corset and jacket are complemented with a dark red sash. Top off the look with a red scarf and a wide-brimmed hat that's sure to give you captain-level authority. Ship, Shape ConditionThe high quality of this sleek costume is sure to make an impression as soon as you enter the room. Pair this with a tall pair of boots and leggings and you'll be ready to set sail. In fact, any other pirates at the party might snap to attention, ready to swab the deck or climb to the crow's nest to look out for land. Just remember that it's time to let your scallywag shindig side loose.
She may only have just taken her first steps, but is she ready to command a pirate crew? We say, yawr she is!When she turned two you started whispering pirate slang in her ear. You taught her the "Yo ho," song. Your spouse wasn’t too impressed with that one, but you still saw smiles beaming your daughter as she easily commanded the one-syllable lyrics. You read her Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island as a bedtime story. You used the lightsabers her uncle had given to her to teach her how to sword fight and we won't even lecture you about canonical integrity. Because that's pretty cool of you.Now all you're tasked with is setting her into this Toddler Girls Pirate Costume, effectively completing her training as your first mate. She can be the tiniest member of your family's buccaneer-themed crew, or she can give that ol' scallywag Blackbeard a run for his money as the most notorious pirate of all time. She is the only one, since the day she was born, that you would trust as your first mate. She never tells you that the couch is just a couch. No, she just jumps on the makeshift pirate ship, and yells "Land ho," jumping down to fight for treasure. All the while she is swinging her lightsaber around the seven seas, she is laughing and smiling. And you would play pirates every day, because your first mate's happiness is worth more than all the pirate gold in the world.
When you become captain of a ship, it's tradition for your crew mates to gift you with personal items. Everyone aboard hands the captain-to-be an heirloom, hence the reason why Captain Jack Sparrow is basically the king of accessories. He wears his man-accessories well too! Not many bearded long-haired men can pull off wearing a headscarf, hat, and hair beads but Jack Sparrow does it with ease. He's a pirate with pizzazz!If you are looking for some finishing touches for your Jack Sparrow costume, then you are going to need the maroon head scarf. It's basically Jack's favorite accessory because it gives him the ruffian swagger that makes him famous across the seven seas. Tie it around your noggin, top it off your tricorn hat, and you'll be ready to for a sword fight with Davy Jones aboard the Flying Dutchman.
Ruling the high seas? It's certainly not all fun and games. It's a constant battle to make sure your rum supply stays secured while you're away from port, because no pirate want to be sailing the ocean with an empty cup. You also have to worry about ailments like scurvy, ruthless shipmates who will mutiny if you don't secure enough doubloons to fill up their chests, and you also have to deal with just what happens, if, in the heat of battle, you intentionally set your own beard on fire. We hope for your sake there is some ointment on board!Of course, the famed captain of the high seas Blackbeard conquered all these challenges, and more, cause he was a top notch privateer! (And yes, he was known to actually light his own beard on fire to intimidate enemies—that's crazy!) If you'd like to step into the shoes of this historical figure, all you'll have to do is suit up in this top caliber costume.

The heavy woven jacket features screen printed details, brushed silver buttons, and false shirt cuffs attached at the wrist. Simply finish the style by wearing the included hat, and with a red scarf lining and attached feather, this felt hat will make you feel like real captain of the high seas.

Everyone loves dressing up as a swashbuckler! The outfits are dashing and sexy, you get to say things like "Yaaaarg!", and nobody can say that they were surprised whenever you plunder their snacks. Showing up in this Sexy Plus Spanish Pirate Costume will make you the sassiest and most fearsome pirate at the party!So, what makes a Spanish pirate so fearsome? We're glad you asked! Way back in the "Golden Age of Piracy" (around the late 1600s and early 1700s, for those of you that missed that day in Pirate History Class), Spanish conquerors around the Caribbean were busy loading cargo ships full of treasure and sending them back home to Spain, resulting in many juicy targets for ambitious buccaneers to attack. That's where Spanish pirates came in. As well trained sailors who didn't like pirates stealing their country's treasure, these fearless corsairs would attack and plunder other pirates who had looted Spanish treasure ships. It takes a ton of guts and skill to be a pirate, but if you ask us, it takes way more to be a pirate that pirates other pirates!There you have it. This fiery Spanish pirate costume will transform you into one of the most historically fearsome pirates out there! We suppose we could have just told you that this sassy ensemble is a hot and frilly look that will stop other costumed pirates dead in the tracks, especially when you add a pair of sexy cuffed pirate boots and a toy sword. But, then we wouldn't have gotten to talk about cool pirate stuff...
On the JobWell, this is a pickle! Our yacht sank in a terrible storm and now the whole crew is stranded on a desert island. It's a situation that brings a prickle of fear to even the stoutest hearts, but fret not - we have a spectacular first mate! As soon as we had dragged ourselves onto the beach's white sands, she had swung into action, harvesting huge palm leaves to make comfy tents, collecting dried grass to make a big signal fire, and cracking open coconuts so that everyone could have a delicious beverage. She even found hollow reeds to use as straws! Thanks to her quick thinking, everyone is having a great time on this island. It would be almost sad to get rescued now!Product DetailsSet sails for the horizon in this exclusive First Mate Costume for Kids! The blue capri-style shorts are perfect for striding the decks or lounging on shore beside the dock. The blue-and-white-striped shirt with its "weatherbeaten" jagged hemline is just the right choice for handling the wheel or adjusting the bow lines. A red bandanna keeps the sun from frying your head while you're out on the open seas - and looks dashing to boot! A Good Day to SailOnce the rescue boat delivered us all from the island, it was clear that the first mate was still the crew's MVP. She's just as brave and talented on board a ship as she is when flagging down the Coast Guard's plane. Shipwrecked or shipboard, she's a star!
A while ago, your boy awoke to a mysterious treasure map at the foot of his bed (nice work on that!) Now, it’s time to suit him up to sail the seas in search of his rightful treasure! Grandpa has gone to elaborate lengths to set up a chest of loot in his attic--gold coins, stolen jewelry, diamonds, rubies, and emeralds.

Give him a toy pirate sword or pistol and he'll never stop thanking you; he may even cut you a share of the booty!
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.

The white ruffle shirt, or sometimes better known as the "poet shirt," is probably most famous as being worn by outlandish rockers on stage and romantic pirates in the movies, even though historically it is very different. The modern day take on this shirt was formed by combining the fanciness of a rich man's blouse with the common everyday boys shirt. The actual shirt was a popular style in the 19th century, but was used for much more common purposes that the portrayals in movies that we see today.Today, this is the shirt of choice for pirates and swashbucklers, for Casanovas and pitchers of woo, and for anyone looking for a good, pseudo-historical adventure. Try it out when you're reading your latest poetic masterpiece to a swooning crowd, or if you suddenly get the urge to go bullfighting. You can also feel free to use it as a flashy addition to your pirate costume. This particular White Satin Ruffle Shirt is a great way to start building your own period piece costume for your next Halloween party...This shirt is 100% polyester satin with functional gold buttons. The ruffles in front are two-tiered and attached to the collar. There are elastic bands on the cuffs to make sure they fit around your wrists. We have tons of different accessories that would be great to add to this shirt, such as pirate swords and hats, as well as other costume pieces sure to make those around you swoon.

Product DetailsWant an outfit that looks dashing, dangerous, and ready to party? You need this exclusive Rum Captain Costume for Men!

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.
