Dress Like a Pirate by Creating a Detailed Pirate Costume Using Men’s Pirate Accessories!
I love putting personalized costumes together for cosplay events, LARP events, Pirate Festivals, Renaissance Fairs, and Halloween. I think it’s a blast to get into period costumes and pretend I am a character still living in the 14th to 18th centuries and the accessories are the items that will take a costume to a level of perfection. It is the detailing which gets added to a costume that will bring it to life and take the prize at a costume competition.
I am a semi-homemade kind of person when it comes to creating costumes and I prefer to build my own costume detailing from pieces I have either bought in thrift stores, found at flea markets, scavenged at garage sales, or have made myself. When all else fails I will buy high-quality pieces online because they are better looking than what I can find or make myself.
Hunting through thrift shops, garage sales, flea markets, junk shops, and the occasional antique shop when looking for pieces I need for my costumes can be very exciting. Especially when I find exactly what I wanted. I do want high-quality pieces and will only select pieces I think will make a more authentic costume as possible and I want them to last through many costume changes.
I add all acquired costume accessories to my costume wardrobe collection to use over and over again. Many historical era costumes pieces will overlap into different historical times and the accessories can be reused to achieve many different looks and styles. When I can’t find what I need and I can’t make it myself I buy it online.
Remember…..Accessories Can Make or Break a Costume!
I want to add detailed pieces to enhance the look, but I don’t want to go overboard and clutter things up too much either. However, with a pirate costume, a little clutter can work quite well, depending on the type of pirate look I want. Over excesses of jingle-jangle jewelry can actually be a good thing on a pirate, especially if it is a Jack Sparrow type costume.

Stuffed Faux Parrot Pirate Props
A stuffed toy parrot is a fabulous costume prop to place on the shoulder of any pirate worth his salt at sea. Even though the only pirate I can remember with a parrot on his shoulder was Long John Silver, they are funn additions to a pirate costume.
Large Pirate Parrot Prop

Two of the parrots featured here comes with shoulder straps. Shoulder straps will often break or not set right. I suggest buying a small amount of Velcro. Cut the vecro in to a small 1″ square. Hot glue one side to the bottom of the parrot prop’s feet and the other side either hot glue, safety pin, or sew to the shoulder of your shirt where you want the parrot to sit. This method will work even on a parrot without straps and trust me, that parrot isn’t going anywhere. If the parrot is a large one, then more reinforcement made be needed to keep it from falling sideways on your shoulder
