Drink up me hearties, yo ho...Do you know your ‘arrrghs’ from your ‘ahoys?’ Do you think the cat o’ nine tails is a genetically engineered feline? Better shape up your pirate vocab sharpish, because September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

TLAPD has gone from strength to strength in recent years and now enjoys a significant following on social networking sites such as Facebook.

However, learning the lingo is only the beginning. No-one will take your mutinous monologuing seriously if you’re still wearing yesterday’s work clothes. Here at All Fancy Dress we stock a wide range of pirate fancy dress costumes that will make sure September 19th goes off with a hefty bang of gunpowder.

For a no corners cut swashbuckling experience, choose our super deluxe Caribbean pirate costume which comes complete with jacket, vest and attached shirt, sash and boot tops. Guaranteed to get you promoted to Commodore faster than you can say “But why is the rum gone?!”

For Johnny Depp fans, we carry the officially licensed Jack Sparrow costume. Stagger around Tortuga offering unsolicited advice and relying on your wit to save you from peril. Use our Snazaroo Black face paint to recreate Jack’s famous under-eye look.

Like the more traditional pirate costume? Choose the traditional pirate costume with skull and crossbones shorts, or the Captain Cutthroat costume which comes with a handy headpiece with attached wig. For the ladies, check out the Sexy swashbuckler costume or Pirate Wench costume.

All Fancy Dress also carries a large variety of pirate fancy dress accessories. Choose one of pirate pistols to bombard your enemies as they sail past, or add on the deluxe pirate sword for close range encounters.
