Because everyone loves a scurvy scallywag!! But no one loves a scallywag with scurvy (remember to eat those limes, folks)
I've just released a naval inspired tricorn hat with a 5 chevroned cockade to show everyone who's the boss of the boats.
But if you aren't lucky enough to be a commodore with a big hat with feathers on it, maybe you need a hat that will be able to survive being digested by a 1500 ton sea beast. You'll need the Cap'n Jack, in a weather washed leather that shows it's been through it all.
Hats that make you wanna go ARRRRR!
