Pirate Clothing- Weapons, Accessories and Flags

If you buy a replica cutlass, you will also need the hanger. Cutlasses were not held in scabbards in the 18th and 19th centuries, but in hangers. These were belts, with a loop that held the sword or cutlass which hung otherwise unprotected from the belt. Replica hangers are widely available, and the pistols are not expensive. Replica pistols can be purchased for under $50, though there are others that are more expensive.

There is not really any form of weapon, clothing or personal item that can associated specifically with pirates.Their belongings were typical of the era in which they lived, and of the nationality of the ships that they took. However, there is a pirate ‘look’ that many people like to emulate. The hat, heavy coat, neck scarf and eye patch are typical pirate apparel, and look quite impressive at pirate themed beach party or barbecue.

A replica pirate cutlass, scabbard, or collectible pirate costume can be found at Historical Weapons Store. Also learn more about the history of pirates within our Articles Directory.
