Hi again Chohole,

OK, I understand your argument re: clothing, but in those days T-shirts hadn't been invented either:-))

Most sailors of that time (especially the "pirate type") usually wore breeches and either went bare-chested or wore a loose fitting top. The reason? They had to be able to climb the ropes and stuff, so needed room to move, and stretch material hadn't been invented yet. Also, the fashions of the day.

(try googling->images "pirate clothing"...)

Also think "Swashbucklers"

Hope I'm not being overly critical: I really am trying to help. Wish I could do as well as you do:-)

(edit) Oops!!! Forgot the: Cheers Diolma
