Captain Barbossa Inspired Costume

I made this costume for a customer who was looking for a Captain Barbossa style pirate outfit. It consists of a coat, vest and sash…along with some pirate style accessories that my customer found.

-------Barbossa Style Pirate Coat--------

The coat was rather interesting to create, especially when it came to finding that kind of fabric.

All the buttons are a hammered metal and are actually quite heavy. The pockets are fully functional welt pockets that allow plenty of space to stash your pirate treasures.

Fully lined with a black woven silk fabric that allows for ease of wearing and creates a very dramatic drape to the coat.

Black cording accents the edge of the coat and is embellished with buttons and cording designs.

-------Barbossa Style Pirate Vest--------

This vest is made of a heavy tapestry fabric that I aged and hand dyed.

Lined with a heavy woven silk and fitted in the back with eyelets and accented with gold plated buttons this vest would complete most any Captain’s Garb.

Functional welt pockets are also included on the vest….more space for hiding your treasure!

 -------- Barbossa Style Pirate Sash-------

I used a silk and linen woven fabric blend for the sash…

 The customer that ordered the Barbossa style costume sent some pictures of him in the costume.  So I wanted to include some of them here….

I saw that you had left me a comment on my Kitchen Essentials post... thank you for coming by! It's been awhile since we have commented each other hasn't it? :)

This costume looks very nice. How have things been at your place? How are your ducks doing? :) Our chickens still aren't laying more than five eggs a day. :( We are hoping they will start laying again soon. How many females (not sure what you call them - just ducks?) and drakes do you have now?

How was your Thanksgiving? I posted about ours at my homestead blog. :)

love and blessings!
Love,
Rachel

This costume looks really good!

Thank you for all of the blog comments. I haven't seen Pendragon yet - I can't really afford to buy it at the moment, but I hope to before long.

I wear my cloak instead of a coat a lot, too. It's fun.

I like pretty much any kind of potato. I used to not like stuffing, but I do now.

I'll be looking forward to seeing your new projects! Have a good day.
