Those lace-up "pirate shirts" are NOT authentic for the Jacobite period....

Damn you! Dagnabbit, now I simply must have one of these.

How would I look in a kilt and a top hat I wonder?

...like a bizarre version of Mr. Hyde (especially if you carry one of your canes!)....

Does anybody want a peanut?

I have a severely warped fashion sense, but I think I would look damn good in a Jacobite shirt, (or one of those shirts posted) a nice vest, a kilt, some decent hose, and a top hat. And my Cthulhu-like beardlocks. I'd scare the whimpering simpering snot out of the townsfolk though. They wouldn't know what to make of me.

Edit. For the new(er) folk that don't know what I look like, click the link in my sig.

I do wonder if I can wear a tophat over my locks. Would have to get a size or two larger than my head. I think I could. I keep wondering how it would look with my dreadlocks waving around crazily the way they do under a top hat.

I could probably bunch my locks up under the hat to even hide them away from the small minded twits that can't figure me out no matter how hard they try.

in my youth I used to wear a broken opera hat and torn tails, and people want me to talk to my daughter about her fashion sense?

We could both talk to her. Give her all sorts of ideas!

Her mother would kill us wouldn't she?

You got me, I was actually looking for a Wesley costume

. But really, unless I get a really good deal on one of another colour I'm pretty much set on black. I was hoping for comments on how it looks in comparison to other Jacobite shirts, as well as the fact that it is silk. I've worn silk before, but never in a shirt.

I have that shirt, and I love it. Goes very well with a kilt. In particular it is longer than modern shirts, including the "Jacobites". I have bought many things from Townsend over the years, and never had a problem. Great company!

very scary thought but it could be fun. Actually, she's all for the kilt, disappointed when I don't wear it. Her mother would hope that we would be responsible adults, been hoping for a long time so far. Ha, actually it's all good. Someday I'll have to post our wedding pix but they're from long before digital and, by now, glued into an album.
