Cutthroat Pirate Costume

Unleash the swashbuckling old sea dog in you with a handsome cutthroat pirate costume! A pirate costume always catches the eye of people at a party, and it always allows for a lame Captain Jack Sparrow impression if things get slow.

The first thing you need is your own black pants. Even if the package you buy has its own pants included, I would recommend you wear your own pair of black pants. It will just fit better. In a pants emergency you can wear the supplied pants, although some outfits have no pants included.

Next is the shirt. You want to be a dashing figure for the wenches so it usually has some sort of lace trimmings. Black is the usual color but white may also pop up. Other outfits have a kind of vest with satin sleeves. You will look like a gentleman pirate in these.

Now no cutthroat pirate costume is complete without an eye-patch. There are numerous scenarios you can make up as to how you lost your eye. It could have been in a daring raid on a defenceless town. It may have been in a terrific battle with an English or Spanish Captain. The explanations stretch out as far as your good eye can see.

Next is your headgear. You normally get either a bandana to tie around your head, a wig headpiece or some sort of flimsy hat.

Then you get the belt and the boot covers. The boot covers are often uncomfortable to wear and simple black shoes or boots might do the trick. The belt will keep your trousers from falling down in the middle of a drunken pirate party. It also provides a quick place to put your sword into.

On the matter of swords I have to disappoint you. Most of the time there will be no sword included with a cutthroat pirate costume. If you want a sword you will have to buy it separately. It will make your outfit look even sharper.

Other accessories that complement the cutthroat pirate costume are things like earrings and sashes you tie around your waist. You can also buy yourself a fake pistol, parrot or lantern. The parrot will be a party favorite. You should tie it upside down on your shoulder for a cheap laugh.

There are a few adult sizes available to fit your needs. The usual are medium, large and extra large or plus size. I am sure that if you shop around you can find sizes for your kids as well.

You can pair up this costume with a pirate wench costume for a provocative couples look. Get a cutthroat pirate costume and go sail the high seas of the costume party scene.
