History of Pirate Vests and Coats
During the Age of Exploration, pirates were known not only for their notorious stealing but also for their definitive style. While most pirate crew members wore any clothing they could find or steal, a pirate coat became an essential part of their aesthetic. These legendary pirate clothes have created a stereotype since the Golden Age of Pirates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Type of Coat Is a Pirate Coat?
A pirate coat is called a “pirate frock coat.” A frock coat is generally a formal coat for men, which is characterized by a knee-length skirt cut all around the bottom that hangs just over the knee.
Unlike a formal frock coat, however, a pirate frock coat is more loosely designed. This long pirate coat was sometimes decorated with ornate braids and fabrics unlike the formal ones that look less embellished.
What Are the Definitive Accessories for Pirates Clothing?
Pirate clothing usually consists of a doublet. A doublet is a close-fitting padded jacket that was commonly worn during the 14th century until the 17th century. This jacket used to be quite expensive.
The overall outfit also consists of breeches (which were popular among English pirates), Monmouth caps (knitted caps), linen shirts, stockings, and pirate boots. This style was adopted by the seamen who turned to the life of a pirate.
How Do You Make a Pirate Jacket/Coat?
In creating a pirate frock coat, you must first identify the style you want and the materials you need.
Back then, the fabrics used to create frock coats were determined by how affluent the pirates were. For an ordinary frock coat, the materials included canvass, cotton, leather, linen, wool, and sheepskin. Some expensive materials included silk, velvet, sarcanet, damask, taffeta, and camlet.
