The Eye Patch Theory Unproven Still Cool ~ Heavy Blend Hoodie

One Eye Pre-Adjusted for Below Deck ~ Nobody Checked

The story goes that pirates wore a patch to keep one eye ready for the dark below deck, flipping it up at the hatch like night vision. It is a lovely idea. Not a single record supports it, a 2007 television test could only call it plausible, and most patches covered an eye that had simply stopped working.

• For the friend who ruins fun facts: Buy it for the guy who says actually at parties, the science teacher who grades trivia night, and anyone who has googled a claim mid-conversation.
• Verdict, disappointing: Plausible is what you call a theory when you cannot prove it and do not want to kill it.
• Debunked by: Part of Pirate History & Legends, where the legend gets a label and the eye gets a patch.

Cold spray off the bow, a long night watch, a captain who refuses to call it a day ~ this Gildan Heavy Blend hoodie keeps the crew warm through all of it with soft cotton-poly fleece, a double-lined hood, a roomy front pouch for snacks and treasure maps, and ribbed cuffs that hold the wind out ~ Damien's parrot approves of the hood
