Black Bart Best Dressed at Sea About 400 Ships Taken ~ Comfort Colors Long Sleeve Tee

Dressed for the Occasion ~ The Occasion Was Battle

According to a 1724 account, Bartholomew Roberts went into his final fight in 1722 in a crimson damask waistcoat and breeches, a red feather in his hat, and a diamond cross on a gold chain. He had taken around 400 vessels by then, most of them small fishing boats, and still refused to be seen in anything plain.

• For the sharpest dresser you know: Buy it for the friend who irons for brunch and the brother whose boat shoes have never touched a boat.
• Nickname, posthumous: Nobody called him Black Bart while he was alive, the sort of branding most of us only get in the obituary.
• Pressed and hung in: Part of Pirate History & Legends, where the dress code was enforced by the man with the most ships.
