Poncho Pirate Costume

Description

We’ve long been supporters of the humble poncho. Yes, we know that some people think that a poncho is only good for wearing in the rain, but we’re here to enlighten you on the benefits of wearing a poncho, especially if you’re planning on being a pirate this year. Let’s go through a classic scenario that could happen during your time as a savvy swashbuckler to illustrate some of the pros of wearing this pirate poncho costume instead of another type of pirate outfit.You dug up a secret map and you’ve traversed the seven seas to a hidden island. You find yourself surrounded by scoundrels and brigands as you finally locate the most coveted treasure of the Caribbean. You reach for your cutlass and attempt to take a fighting stance, only to have your frilly sleeve cuff get tangled in the puffy frills on the front of your pirate shirt! Your enemies capture you, steal the treasure and leave you stranded on a deserted island.You see, with a poncho, your arms are always free for any form of trouble that might happen during your pursuit of treasure! Even if you just plan on parleying with a party of pirates at the next swashbuckler soiree, you’ll be glad your hands are free to partake in the snacks and drinks available. If some uncouth buccaneer starts a squabble, then you’ll be free to draw your blade and deftly dispatch of him without sleeve cuffs or puffy shirts getting in the way of your master swordplay!
