Well, if you're interested in the middle of the 16th century, we have
a bit of an idea of what was worn on the Mary Rose, which sank in
1545. There were a number of leather jerkins found, as well as some
wool garment fragments, some wool flat caps, leather shoes... that
sort of thing. The info shouldn't be too hard to track down if you
look up the Mary Rose.
Cheers,

Hello All,
The topic of Pirates at Renaissance events has been breached on
another list, and it has me wondering...
What would pirates or privateers of the English Renaissance looked like?
I know what images of George Clifford, the "privateering" Earl looks
like. I know what images of Raleigh, and Drake are like, but what
would everyday privateers, pirates, or even basic seamen look like
during the Elizabethan era?
Thanks,
