[Lims]

I don't think it matters one bit what ya wear.  The more the merrier - so long as there's rum. 

[gypsyqueenie]

Aye mate Lims be right matters not - what ye wear - remember pirates got what they could from anywhere they could - <hmmm these boots fit - cool - bugger the shirt won't fit over me boobs - anybody want a shirt it's only got a few holes in it!>

Sides' remember Mercs were onboard all ships as hired guns so armor be fine as well.
Don't be missin this - it be fun and get yer winter yayas out!
