In 2003 when I started Captain Jack's Pirate Hats I firmly believed in making Authentic Handcrafted Pirate Hats geared towards what I would call, the Working Class Pirate. The Seafaring Scallywaggs and Wild Buccaneers, rather than fancy Pirate hats for Dandy Merchants, Foppish Aristocrats, or Pirate Lord . Quite honestly I couldn't stomach the idea of making hats with feather boa trim or bodies made out of crushed velvet. Simply TOO Yo Ho Hokey for my taste! But I did continue to get many requests for something fancier, and so I started Custom hand painted gold leaf trims, and offering a number of ostrich and pheasant feathers. Always striving to please my customers I eventually started doing cloth trims. Today, Captain Jack's Trim offerings are some of the most varied anywhere. With basic trims, fancy trims, beaded trims , rosettes, cockades, many exotic and wild fowl feathers, feathered hat pins, and a large selection of old world buttons from many ports of call. With all of our styles, materials, treatments, colors, sizes and accessories, we literally offer over 3000 variations so that you can have a truly unique hat made. Visit our Hat Accessory Page. Here are just a few recent examples of my trimmed hats. -MacKay
