Renaissance Faire wear - what's the consensus?

[Woodsheal]

The influx of pirates at Renn Faires is nonsensical, as they pretty much all dress as seafarers of the Black Beard, Jack Sparrow "Golden Age" period: 1700-1720, which is at least a century out of whack. (And no pirates, Scottish or otherwise, counted kilts as part of their sea-going garb!)

Anyways, one could easily portray a "sea-dog" of the Elizabethan period - one of Drake's or Hawkin's men - which would look way cooler at the Faire than an anachronistic 18th C. privateer....
