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!
Legend of the High SeasBack in the olden days, pirates were terrifying threats. They were murdering, pillaging, uncouth and unwashed thugs who burned and besieged their way down the High Seas. Grown men would blanch at the very names of Blackbeard and Henry Morgan. Gently-bred women would burst into tears. Nowadays, pirates have had a bit of help from Hollywood. They’re back in favor as swashbuckling, fast-talking, smooth-operating guys who have more of a Robin Hood vibe than a straight-up murdery feel. If you saw one walk down the street, you’d be more inclined to take a selfie with him than to run away screaming. In fact, you’d probably be so starstruck that you wouldn’t even notice when he pickpocketed your wallet.Design & DetailsSet sail for fortune and fame in this exclusively designed Plunderous Pirate Adult Costume! A V-neck shirt front of the finest material was pillaged from the hold of a merchant ship and now graces your everyday wear. It goes underneath a brown jacket trimmed with ruffled cuffs. A red and white sash ties rakishly around your waist, and a red bandanna knots around your head to protect it from the sun’s rays. A pair of brown seaboot covers finishes your dashing ensemble!It’s the Pirate’s Life for You!This Halloween, it’s up to you how you want to live your pirate destiny. Will you terrorize the neighbors with gruesome sea shanties, steal all of the candy from the party bowl, and declare no quarter on the dog next door who won’t stop barking? Or will you be the suave, lady-killer type whose swordfighting skills are only equaled by his hilarious wit (and who still has all of his teeth)?
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!
That Pirate BizYawr. Pirate Biz. You know what we're talking about. Pillaging, plundering, and raiding the high seas. It might seem like dangerous employment, and, well, it is. But, it's also your opportunity to secure some cold, hard cash. You know...gold doubloons!Sign us up! We're all about that hustle, and if you feel the same way, well, then, we just gotta get you into this Women's Plus Size Roving Buccaneer Costume. In this stunning costume style, you could either be a brand new pirate recruit, or a seasoned scallywag. And either way, you're gonna be ready to get your plunder on!Design & DetailsThis costume is a brand new style created right here in our own costume studios. And we'll go ahead and say it, our designers just love pirate costumes! So, they went a little above and beyond with this costume, which is why it's a serious upgrade from your typical costume selection.It comes with a dress, scarf, belt, and sash. The dress is styled to look like a blouse top and a red velvet skirt, but it's one piece for simplicity's sake. A wide belt fits around the waist, as does a skull printed sash. And it comes with a headscarf to round out the look. We do have it pictured with some extra accessories, and we'll encourage you to pick up a few of them to enhance the style. Yawr!Costumes from A to ZPirating might not seem like the noblest occupation, but if it's the life for you, we say go for it! Of course, we have plenty of other costume styles, too, so if something a little safer seems more up your alley, that's perfectly a-okay, too. Whatever your inclination this Halloween, make your best choice, and be sure to have a whole lotta fun!
We usually recommend that kids wait until they're a little older to commit to a life of piracy. It's just that what we think of as a perfectly respectable maritime occupation gets called a lot of ugly names, especially by certain individuals in the Royal Navy. High treason against the crown, they say. Very bad manners, some of them call it. But we made this great costume for your pint-sized privateer anyway, because we know that the name-callers are probably just jealous!The gold trim and buttons of the burgundy jacket will make all those spiteful labels roll off the young captain's back like sea spray on a freshly-swabbed deck. The deluxe faux-leather boot tops will have him pacing the bow like an old salt. The white lace neckpiece will give him an air of refinement and authority, and the hat crowns the look. All you need is a hook (if you like) to make this the best-looking kid's pirate costume for a thousand leagues in any direction!Just be sure to politely remind the captain that even though a corsair might be considered a scalawag in certain circles, a true pirate is not without a sense of honor. The foul mouth and rough habits of a sailor are not a requirement for the job. It's a good idea to map out some of these boundaries early on, because we wouldn't want you to get double-crossed and marooned on a desert island the first time you turn your back!
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!

Off the HookPirates all have their ups and downs. Sometimes the wind is blowing the right direction and there's a ship full of gold and spices on the horizon that's flying a distress flag. But sometimes all they've got is a barrel of wormy hardtack in the belly of the ship and the whole crew is blowing at the sails in hopes it'll get their ship to budge. That just made us think, what's the ultimate day look like for a pirate? It would have to contain multiple elements such as the defeat of a long-standing foe, the discovery of a brand new treasure map, and a fine mug of Caribbean rum.

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.

Curse Peter Pan! That little flying nuisance has no respect for an honest pirate.

It'll be great. You're even wearing your lucky hat so that everything will go well. You feel so good that you forgot that it's really hard to trap a kid who can fly...
We have a lot of assumptions about the lives of pirates. We imagine them exclusively at sea, sailing on massive ships and spending the bulk of their time singing sea chanties in order to drive their passions high enough to risk attacking another seafaring vessel or following an ancient map to lost treasure buried deep beneath ocean tides or, perhaps, on the sandy shores of far off islands. But, of course, it isn’t always sea travel that holds a pirate’s time! Everyone needs some good shore leave and it is there, perhaps, where the greatest mysteries of pirate life is hidden.Pirate hideouts located in hidden alcoves in the midst of island collections or cavernous entries where whole villages of pirate crews engage in trade and tales secreted under the very noses of the constabulary that seeks their heads! Now, there is where some of the real piracy takes place. And who is there to maintain peace and order amongst a group of people known for their devious debaucheries? Some make claims of a pirate king, sitting on a horde of treasure… but who seriously believes one man can command all pirates everywhere!? No, it is in fact the pirate wenches who have all the authority. Why? Ha! They control the rum!It is your shift, lass, and how better to keep these rugged pirates under thumb than in this Deluxe Pirate Wench costume!?

And you would play pirates every day, because your first mate's happiness is worth more than all the pirate gold in the world.

Here’s the thing: people have a very narrow view of pirates. All they conjure is swashbuckling on the high seas. But like everything, pirate life has evolved. Gone are the good ole’ days of treasure hunting without GPS and carefree sailing, disconnected, through the waves. The modern life of a pirate is much more complex. There is a board of directors (and meetings to attend), there are pirate “co-work” spaces and endless informal coffee chats with interns, there is a lot of social media upkeep, and treasure is all traded in bitcoin. You, of course, know this, as regional captain of your crew. In fact, one of the biggest issues of a modern pirate lass is where to buy pirate-specific ensembles now that everything is made for a sedentary life on land. Athleisure wear just isn’t your thing. Ahoy! This Plus Size Pirate Wench Costume can transition from day meetings to night adventures and even to the high seas (once your vacation time kicks in). The outfit has dramatic details like an adjustable skirt and laced corset, as well as an off-the-shoulder shirt that can be pulled up for a morning meeting with the West Coast captain and pulled down for an evening out with your crew. When you combine this pirate-perfect look with your own swashbuckling attitude, commanding the professional attention of pirates and landlubbers alike will be easy. We know it’s hard out there for a modern day lady pirate, so allow us to make getting dressed easier. We don’t know what to tell you about the hundreds of emails you get a day; maybe just take to the sea and throw your laptop overboard.
When you were five-years-old I bet ‘pirate’ was on the top of your list for what you wanted to be when you grew up. As you grew up chances are you realized that it probably wasn’t a great career choice given the high risk and whole ‘illegal’ aspect.But even if you can’t be a real pirate, the idea of it is still quite enchanting. Sailing on the high seas for weeks at a time, getting to see foreign lands, and meeting tons of new (albeit hostile) people.

Check out our women's and kids' pirate costumes, for a family theme!
A Cutlass ClassicNow, we don't want anyone thinking that we're caught up in the past. But we're bothered that certain pirate traditions are getting left behind when it comes to modern pirate costumes. We get that a striped shirt and colorful scarves make for great costumes but can we ask for a little commitment, please? Pirates had to battle crocodiles... they took on mermaids in wrestling competitions... they rode cannonballs? Anyway, we obviously don't know much about what pirates actually did but we do know they went through some serious injuries giving them a great excuse to use lovely fashion accessories like eye patches, peg legs, and hooks for hands! Fun Details & DesignThis silver and gold molded hook will serve to make you the best pirate you can be. Just throw the hook over your real hand and watch as your character transforms into an authentic tough sea-faring cur. The molded cuff is five inches tall to cover your fist and has a rod inside so you can hold on and hide the fact that you still have all your digits. Off the HookWe love it when people go all out for their costumes. And if you're looking at this accessory then you probably respect that view as well.

First Day at SeaWe know it can be hard to send your little pirate off into the great blue yonder for the first time. All those tears! They grow up so fast. You spent months prepping for their departure: hat, check; parrot, check; parrot food, check; tattered pants, check; but alas! Your little one sets sail in a few days' time and you're only now realizing that they haven't got a sensible pair of pirate boots on hand! Yikes!Not to fret—this pair of Kid's Pirate Captain Boots will help them blend in with the pro pirates, even though they're a rookie. These boots boast solid construction and a fearsome pirate style, and will help keep your kid's feet dry and steady as they roll along with the waves.

This pair is crafted from black faux patent leather and features a fold-over cuff and side zipper. In these basic, dependable boots, your kid will be well-equipped to search for all the booty they can find!Shore LeaveDon't worry, your kid will be back!

And all because you sent them off totally prepared to thrive in their pirate life. Good job!
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.
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.
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.
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!
Ahoy there! Ay, ye scurvy dog. You think you can sail the seas with your boring old Harvard clip haircut on this here pirate ship. Yo Ho Ho, you're funny. You can't be a pirate with your standard street 'do. There are a few reasons for this. First of all, a pirate has to look cool. Often, pirates never even used violence to get their treasure. They got it with their intimidating looks and tough demeanor, so your crew cut probably won't cut it. Secondly, the ocean is a sunny place. Long hair is going to keep that tender landlubber neck of yours safe from the sun.When you're choosing your pirate mane, you can go two ways. You could put on the lush pirate curls, more associated with the fancy, polished privateer. Or you could wear your locks like the dashing Captain Jack Sparrow. 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?
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. It comes with a royal red jacket, with a classy, white jabot. The black belt fits around the waist and the pirate hat has an extravagant look fit for a pirate captain. The boot tops add the finishing touch to the outfit, making sure that even a lone crocodile won’t want to mess with you!
When you're a teenager, there's always that moment where you realize that you want to seek out adventure in life. Way back in the sixteenth and seventeenth century, teenagers who had this same urge would run off to be privateers and pirates. Talk about high adventure! Thankfully it's not so easy to be a pirate these days, otherwise the sea would be filled with these wayward kids brandishing cutlasses and talking parrots. Overseas ground shipping would be a nightmare! Good thing we have Halloween and pirate costumes like this one so people can just be a pirate for a night instead of running off to daring sea battles, quests for sunken treasure, and holidays in Tortuga. Wait, why is the new way better?
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. Product DetailsThis cute costume comes with everything your child will need to secure a spot on the next ship a' sailin'! Well, everything except the ruthless attitude and strong stomach! 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!
Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of MilkIs your little one showing leadership skills at this early age? Does your little one stage hijinks at their daycare? While this tendency might lead to a little bit of trouble every once in a while, we think it would be more fun to simply lean in. Why fight it? Lean in. You could roll into this and create a treasure map to help your kiddo find treasure. What's a treasure to an infant? Well, most babies we know seem to be hunting for remotes, cell phones, and other breakable technology. It's always a challenge to keep these items hidden. So make that treasure map too complicated for even the smartest baby to figure out and easiest enough so you'll be able to find your phone before you leave for work. It's a win-win. Baby learns skills and your phone isn't covered in drool for once! And after a long day of searching for buried technological treasure your kid will be ready to kick back with the maties and knock back a big ol' bottle of milk. Seems like it's the pirate life for your captain, after all!Product DetailsThis baby will easily rule any ship on pure charm when they're rocking this Cuddlebug Captain costume. This costume features a lush jacket that's trimmed with pink braiding. The neck and cuffs are trimmed in white lace, the pink braiding matches the vertical striping in the soft pirate pants. Belted with a soft jolly roger belt, it has just enough edge for those high seas adventures. And to make this baby's captain's status stand out, this costume is topped with a tricorn hat that's trimmed with white lace. Kid with a CrewWant a whole crew this Halloween? You have a lot of options for every member of your family. Young and old, everyone likes a seafaring adventure!
We all know that piracy is wrong. And, we’re not talking about filming a movie at the theatre or illegally downloading your favorite video games. That’s also a major issue, but we’re currently referring to the much older variety. Raiding, pillaging, smuggling, looting, and drinking too heavily while on moving vehicles are all definite paths to doom. Now, they might also be paths to lots of treasure, fame, and epic adventure, but definitely don’t forget about the high degree of danger. Plus, your mother is definitely going to get bothered if you aren’t contacting her regularly.Still, if you heart is set on a life of adventure on the high seas, at least make sure that you are fully equipped for the trip. For your mother for Davy Jones’ sake! Now, it’s clear that you have already thought about your shirt and trousers, a nice rugged seafaring jacket, and a good assortment of weaponry and other pirate necessities. But, have you given thought to your footwear? Here is where bringing in your modern shoes is probably a really good idea, but you also need some authenticity. And, that is where these Deluxe Brown Boot Tops come into play. Secure to your own shoes with elastic straps and bright gold buttons, then lace up for the full look and you can be in modern attire while also looking the part of the pirate. Best of all worlds!
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!
Safe Harbor SabotageYou look pretty sweet in ruffles and velvet. No one would assume that you've got a scheme to take the docked treasure in one of the most guarded harbors in Europe. You've been scrolling through maps and scheming with hardened rogues in the hull of your ship for months. You've come up with all sorts of ideas. Gideon Read wanted to simply take the city by fire and force but that had already been tried and stopped before. Ol' Captain Cannonbait tried to insert a spy into the ship's guard but the weasely kid disappeared within two hours. You knew your idea would work the whole time. You just had to let the big men get their ideas out first. The whole time, all you had to do was play the damsel in distress by rolling up in a rickety lifeboat. The soft-hearted Captain would hoist you up, offer you a wool blanket, and let you case the place before letting your companions on board. You might be a damsel but your not in distress!Product Details & DesignThis roving buccaneer costume is Made-By-Us, giving it a unique flair as well as a high-quality appeal that you'll be able to wear again and again. The skirt has ruching in the front and an asymmetrical hem. The waist is accented by a faux leather corset, setting off the light-weight ruffled blouse with cold-shoulder sleeves. The look is topped off with a black scarf and a jolly roger sash. Fierce FleetAre you looking to have a boat rocking good time?

A Pirate's LifeSometimes when life puts us into an unexpected scenario, we say that we've been "thrown into the deep end." For Disney's Elizabeth Swann, this phrase was literal!

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.
Despite how awesome a set of high-top pirate boots look, sometimes, it's just comfortable to wear a set of your own shoes. Of course, when you're trying to look like an authentic pirate, or a dashing swashbuckler, wearing a set of sneakers on your feet is a quick way to kill your perfectly cultivated vibe. What's a pirate to do? Well, no worries, since we've got this dilemma covered with these deluxe vinyl boot tops!With a faux leather, black exterior, these boot tops bring the style of classic pirate boots to your look while still giving you the option to wear any pair of shoes from your closet. You see, these handy tops fit over your normal shoes and secure into place with straps that got under your foot, creating the illusion that you're wearing some high-grade footwear that's made for the kind of skulduggery that pirates are known for. Additional details, like a lace up cuff on top and buttons on the bottom, provide additional realism. No one will even know that you've got on a set of normal every day shoes on underneath, unless you tell them! And those people will just think you're crazy, because they'll totally think you're wearing real pirate boots.
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.
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.
If you've seen all of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies then you know that Jack's lost his hat more times than we can count but somehow it always comes back to him. Take, for instance, every time Captain Jack gets arrested, though they always take his hat, he always makes sure he gets it back from the jailer, even if it's through questionable means. Whether he's taking on the Kraken or he's stuck tugging his ship along a desert landscape in Davey Jones's locker Captain Sparrow keeps his jaunty cap on his head if he can help it. Yeah, there are those who try and steal it away, that monkey in particular but this tan leather hat wouldn't look right any anyone but good old Jack or your very own child when they're dressed like Captain Jack. Whether your little one is battling sea monsters or simply trick-or-treating, they'll really get into it when they put on this high-quality tricorn hat. After all, who knows if it's what's in Captain Jack's head or on his head that's kept him out of trouble again and again.
Plunder Awaits! Hey there, matey! Have you given serious thought to how you're going to seek out fame and fortune? You could try to do it the honest way, with a noble deed or a lot of hard work, but that seems boring. What about signing up with a dastardly crew, heading directly for the Spanish Main, and lying in wait to pillage every single treasure galleon that tries to sail past? That sounds much more fun and glamorous! Product DetailsA swashbuckling life is yours when you wear your exclusive Adult Pirate Plus Size Costume! The outfit includes a long-sleeved white shirt with zig-zag edging on the hem and cuffs. Its attached black vest is printed with an image of the skull and crossbones. A black sash ties around your waist. The calf-length pants are striped red and black, and have a comfy elastic waistband that's perfect for long days of high seas robbery and fun nights of spending your ill-gotten gains. Tie the black scarf around your head to up the swagger factor! Under the Jolly RogerYou might be a lawless buccaneer, but at least you're a stylish one! Find a musket, a cutlass, or even a sharp-looking prop knife, because it's time to convince your, um, "donors" that giving up their riches is really the healthiest option for them. Afterward, you can head down to the waterfront tavern with the rest of the salty dogs to enjoy a tall pint or two before you have to go back on the run. It's a pirate's life for you!
