Cotton Pirate Sash, Black, 373 x 26 cm

Style and Versatility

This fabric sash is the key to an authentic look. Its extra-long design gives you complete freedom. You can tie it in countless ways: Cinch it tightly around your waist for the elegant look of a Renaissance noble, or let it hang loose like a rugged pirate. The classic black colour is also perfectly versatile, pairing effortlessly with any shirt, doublet, or pair of breeches. It's the one detail that separates an ordinary costume from a legendary one.

How to Wear Your Sash

Using it is easy and limited only by your imagination. The most common method is to wrap it two or three times around your waist. Start at the front, wrap the fabric around your back, and return to the front. You can either tuck the end in securely or let it hang free from a knot tied at your hip. The sash also serves brilliantly as a "belt" for tucking lighter items like a dagger or a coin pouch.

A Historical Note

Fabric sashes and waistbands have been a common part of clothing for centuries. While in the Renaissance they could signify status, for sailors and pirates in the 17th and 18th centuries, they also had a practical purpose. They provided back support during heavy labour on deck, offered protection from the cold, and served as an improvised "belt" for weapons when leather ones weren't available.

Care Instructions

To preserve the sash's deep black colour and fabric quality:

• Line dry (do not tumble dry).
• Ironing is possible on a low (cotton) setting, but is not necessary for a rugged look.
