Well this fucking sucks

Every single year I've wanted to dress up for the local Renaissance festival. And every year I either was unemployed or didn't have exactly enough money. And every year I wonder if God is mocking me (I honestly think He's just fucking with my life out of boredom ( Read more... )

shirt, costume, pirate, renaissance

A) That's what a sporran, purse... or, a purse inside a codpiece is for. That's why your pants have no pockets, more than likely. Unless they offered them with pockets, or you could clearly see pockets on their example, this is a mistake based on your assumption that pseudo-period pants for the 1600s should have pockets.

B) You can go shirtless to the RenFest. Hell, you Can dress like this there.

But I have a beer belly to rival even yours! D:

Maybe there's a shirt I can buy somewhere else....

I mean, we already paid for the one shipped from India, so I'd hate to have to spend money on ANOTHER shirt.

As for the pants, they were made pocketless to be more authentic. The company (an American company thank god) also sold pants with hidden pockets inside. So I don't know if I can trade or not.

The pants are the baggy-ish kind.. they're not hosen, so no codpiece. I refuse to wear anything tight, including hosen, and I'd never wear a codpiece, I don't want my junk hanging out to catch the breeze.
