Sea of Thieves: How to dress like a pirate

For a pirate game where it's hard to actually look like one, there are still options. Allow me to illuminate some.

[@Bacxaber]

I might've called two things the wrong names but they're good substitutes.

[@Mrforest83]

Try this outfit, my character is buff so it may look different: olive majestic sovereign hat, mercenary jacket, mauve majestic sovereign shirt, corsair sea dog pants, blackcoat executive admiral gloves, executive admiral boots, and belt

[@EtanaAtreides]

You can create your own great outfits by learning how to use a color wheel. Great video!

[@blooey-YT]

“and stop wearing the goddamn Warsmith costume” but I like the blue one :(

[@Bacxaber]

Y'all get an extended warranty on that one because of the new beardless style, but I'm watching you.

[@blooey-YT]

@@Bacxaber I still use the beard one tho, I just love the color blue and I like the hat and jacket it has, plus I suck at PvP so I can’t get skelly curse even if I wanted to

[@doc_w4lrus886]

​@@blooey-YT excuses - get yer boat on the waves and get some fighting done. 😂 (losing gives you up too)

[@swampy5222]

Great video, you had some sick looking outfits! Ive been disappointed with a lot of the clothing options. Its hard to find stuff that looks good without going over the top. I've pretty much been wearing the same outfit since day one. I've made small changes here and there but for the most part it looks the same. I wish we could have some clothes that actually seem to fit the pirate theme. its cool to see some examples like this to play off of for inspiration.

[@Goldenboy-pe2ci]

Y’know fashion in this game actually gets really easy if you get past the phase of “I’m just going to throw on the most impressive stuff I have wholesale” and/or buying the most generically cool looking (non-piratey) cosmetics.

[@Bacxaber]

To an extent. There's still an extreme drought in actual pirate clothes. I can only think of four black jackets (ferryman, blackdog, George and DA), two of which are unobtainable.

[@captainbat37]

My outfit Is red black and gold I use the blood stone dragon hat sailor eyepatch corsair hair famous pirate beard and jacket brigsy's gloves sovereign shirt newest parrot belt the unique one different from the others midnight blade trousers and heroic helmsman boots

[@primrose5031]

It’s a fantasy pirate game so not everything has to be 100% period accurate or realistic but I really wish they stuck with everything being Pirate-y. Stuff like Glorious/Triumphant Seadog, Parrot, Pirate Legend, Jacket of the Damned, Famous Pirate Jacket, and even some wacky but still grounded cosmetics like the bucket hat are all flamboyant and flashy but are clearly still something a character from Pirates of the Caribbean or One Piece would wear. A vampire, a dieselpunk off-road biker, and fucking MASTER CHIEF from Halo do not fit in with SoT.

[@Yasin52.]

they really should add more pirate cosmetics sot is not fortnite

[@MagnusOrkzyd]

My perma-fit: Famous Pirate jacket, Cursed Captain's hat, Daring Deceiver shirt, Prosperous Privateer belt, Sailor gloves, Famous Pirate hook, Midnight Blades loose pants, Blackcoat Executive Admiral boots, Majestic Sovereign pegleg. Under all this of course is your sweat stuff like umbra tattoos and gold curse, but its the actual suit that looks better.

[@skylerfisher4347]

I’m more of a skeleton enjoyer myself, and the fit I plan on using is something I like to call the “Rotten Bilgerat Skeleton” Using the bearded skull to imply the jaw rotted off, plus I like the bandanna it gives too The crab pot torso both for the barnacles, but also to make it seem like you’ve been rotting in the ocean for a while and a crab has taken residence in your ribcage during that time Sunken stump, more barnacles and you’ve lost your leg to the rot now too and your pants are all raggedy and dirty And finally the two tone bones, which when paired with this particular set makes your bones look absolutely rotten and dirty with the filthy brown and tan colors looking like you smell absolutely horrendous

[@Bende_Markus]

NOW THIS! Is something i can get behind! Lot of the skeleton sets I've seen were just people putting on stuff they have and calling it a day. But this has themeing and lore! Mind if i steal the look when i get my curse?

[@cptwheelbarrow9026]

Great skelly look. I prefer fancier oufits, and stuff that isn't too difficult to get, since i am by no means great at pvp. I wear the reaper's mask and pants, combined with the greatcoat. I use clean white bones, but any cleaner bone colour works. Love it on my fat pirate, i call the look don bones. (If theres a skeleton mafia, then with this look youre definitely head honcho)

[@TheHornedKing_27]

Ah if only I could wear normal cosmetics in my calcified skeletal form

[@papacroc498]

They never took the futuristic route tho everything they sell in pirate emporium always stayed inside the styleguide of the game and never went to the robotic or future scifi "Unrealistic" direction like for example the Halo outfit and borderlands shipset that all seems plausable for the game. The same goes for the mystic plant bundle(I forgot the name) I've never had the impression that the outfits sold would be out of reach for the world you sail around in considering it has Giant crabs,Clams, People with dark glowing eyes, Sparkly ghosts etc. (But yeah more basic pirate clothing is a real need especially for people who just started playing and maybe can't get some of the nicer cosmetics like the ones showed in this video)

[@FR333KSH0W]

My current fit is: Lucky hand hat Any shirt, you can’t see it under the jacket Briggsy’s weatherbeaten Gloves Legendary Bone Crusher Jacket (lucky hand Jacket also works, you'll need a fitting shirt to pair it with though). Prosperous Privateer belt (any brownish belt works) Eastern Winds Sapphire Trousers (any brownish pants work) Sea Dog Boots Sea Dog Beard (only beard that works on my pirate) Slicked Back Hair Pirate Lord Peg Leg I call it the Sea Dog Captain.

[@OwenTaylor-yn7nw]

Dude I love your fashion sense

[@Girl_in_the_robot]

You should do a video rating players fashion, I have a few sets that I’d love to show off tbh

[@Bacxaber]

People keep suggesting this but two things. One, collecting the data would be clunky. Two, I don't wanna be mean. Despite the fact that it's a requested video, I _know_ idiots are gonna go "wow bacx is such a judgemental asshole".

[@thebirdofillomen]

I've got one that I call The Ominous Privateer OoS hat and shirt Briggsy's Mask Privateer pants The Bonesmith Belt Whatever rings you have or want, personally the OoS tier 3 rings look good but you do you lol Any chest or arm tattoos No shoes And to top it off the OoS curse to give that look of "you've seen beyond the veil and unfortunately it was horrifying"

[@JunkionGamer]

Cursed Captain hat, Sailor Eye patch, Corsair Sea Dog beard, Pros. Privateer hair, Sea Dog jacket+gloves, Hunter shirt, Ruffian Sea Dog pants, Legendary belt, and Executive Admiral boots, are my go to look

[@AmbrossaTheBard]

LETS GO, THIS IS SO ACCURATE

[@txinterceptor8428]

I'd be okay with the more serious pirate outfits if they removed all the rest of the nonsense too, like getting into a cannon and firing yourself over to another ship, magic cannonballs, skeletons, etc. But since this is a fantasy game that doesn't take itself too seriously, I just lean into the tongue-in-cheek aesthetic and rock the Lodestar costume and belong to a harlequin-themed guild that predates the clown clothing set. All this said, I do appreciate your approach and what you came up with here, do secretly wish there was a more serious pirate game with a focus on naval combat and knew what a sloop actually looked like in the real world.

[@TheDailyDevDev]

the Sailors Captain -The Hunter Hat -Sailor Shirt -Mercenary Gloves -Seadog Jacket -Mercenary Belt -Black Pants -Weatherworn Boots This Is an outfit used for pirates who just got the game, Its around 30k at most so Its very easy to get if you wanna flex that you have skill replace the Hunter Hat with Georges Hat The Helmsmen of Legend -Pirate Legend Hat (or Georges) -Famous Pirate Shirt -Pirate Legend Gloves Heroic Helmsmen Jacket -Executive Admiral Belt Heroic Helmsman Pants (or Redcoat Executive Admiral Trousers) -Heroic Helmsman Boots (or Pirate Legend Boots) This Outfit not only shows your wealth due to the purple accents, but also shows your great skills as a captain, Alternatively you can look more like a king by using the Kings Ransom Crown. The Storm Chaser Bilge Rat -Cursed Captains Hat -Distinguished Admiral Shirt -Any form of bandaged gloves (I use Dirty Rotten Bilge Rat Gloves) -Stormfish Chaser Jacket -Belt is Optional Intrepid Explorer Pants -Georges Boots This Outfits main charm is the incredible fit with the captains hat, the red scarf compliments the bandana underneath so perfectly. Lastly The King Of Piracy -Prosperous Privateer Hat -Lucky Hand Shirt -Briggsy's Gloves -Famous Pirate Jacket -Prosporous Privateer Belt -Redcoat Executive Admiral Belt -Gold Leaf Boots This Outfit shows that you are not afraid of any pirates, and are willing to plunder and pillage anything for gold and glory. sorry for taking up alot of the comment section but I hope Baxcaber (pronounced Back Saber I think) Enjoys these

[@Bacxaber]

Yeah those are decent, and yes that's how you pronounce it. You spelt it wrong though :P

[@TheDailyDevDev]

@@Bacxaber OH whoops, lol

[@verimp1323]

It's all fine and good, but I wanted to mention my outfut which is easy to collect and looks good too (I think). I call it "Historically accurate Blackbeard", altough I use the term "historically accurate" loosely, cause this game lacks clothing to make is fully historically accurate. Anyway, the outfit consists of Wild Rose's hat, Forsaken Ashes beard (cause Blackbeard was putting burning matches into his beard and/or hair, and this beard simulates it pretty well), Naval Commander or Prosperous Privateer shirt, Sea Dog jacket, Executive Admiral trousers and Admiral's shoes. Not to much hastle to collect, and looks very piratey.

[@Bacxaber]

See, I never interpreted those things in the ashes beard as wicks. They look like amber decorations to me.

[@verimp1323]

​@@Bacxaber Aye, I am aware, but this is the closest thing we have in game to a beard with burning matches.

[@Bacxaber]

@@verimp1323 Ye. I wonder if we're ever gonna get the Blackbeard stuff from that skelly who works for Flameheart.

[@handsomejack6487]

My outfit is Interpid explorer trousers, gold hoarder coat and belt, birggsy’s gloves, castaway’s shirt, gold leaf eyepatch, blackcoat executive admiral boots and a shores of gold curse. Dressed like some kind of a gold hoarder i could say)

[@mayabladewing]

I agree there's a lot of bloated cosmetics that don't exactly feel 'piratey' but my absolute FAVORITE cosmetic ever is the plague doctor hat/mask. You can wear it on it's own without the costume and I often ear it with the crop top and the gloves from the same set with any darker pants. It shows off the gold curse I'm so proud off, keeps the aesthetics of the character I'm cosplaying and looks really cool and feminine. Always keeping the hook and pegleg on though on though to make it feel more pirate and go along with the hat above the mask.

[@MugRoohBeerh5812]

I once made a design based on Captain Redbeard's outfit; bilge rat hat, rec corsair sea dog jacket, prosperous privateer shirt, Admiral belt, Ferryman pants and silent barnacle boots. And all sailor prosthetics too

[@lucasbeldan1160]

[@anonymity2]

My outfit is no shirt with tattoos, blue curse, and the plague doctor head

[@papacroc498]

Even tho the fits in the Pirate emporium look really cool and fit the theme of a goofy sandbox Pirate game, i do agree more default "Pirate" clothing to mix and match would be amazing considering the outpost shops sometimes sell things that look normal but in really bright colours (Like the headbands). Still hoping that someday you can take certain parts off costumes instead of putting on the whole thing. Would be nice to have more "serious" cosmetics

[@Bacxaber]

I can't agree with this. The emporium stuff _doesn't_ fit but also, pirates _were_ colourful.

[@notcarbuncle1493]

Im very proud of my pirate bobbin hood, obviously inspired by robbin hood, who uses a mix of the gilded set and the maestro set with some other stuff thrown in there, I think it looks really nice

[@Bacxaber]

Yeah, both those sets rock.

[@BigJaundice]

Genuine question why are you saying Georges shirt at 1:09 when that's the mysterious strangers shirt? I get his real name os george, but most people dont know that, and it's not the name of the cosmetic, so it's sorta misleading when you really think about it. 🙃

[@Bacxaber]

If I say it enough, they _will_ know. It's not misleading, it's educational.

[@zain_xs8721]

I’ve been rocking the party boat pants for “swashbuckler” outfit due to the silhouette and not tucking into your boots, but the random colored squares still kinda tick me off

[@joeykelly5642]

I dig the conquistador theme of the Sovereign sets, but it seems like such a misstep for the breastplate to be a jacket instead of a shirt. Putting a jacket over that would’ve looked pretty cool

[@Bacxaber]

Yep, agreed.

[@epegorcs6258]

I wear a mix of DA, PL, and Briggsy's hat

[@Bacxaber]

Briggsy's hat deserves better than the vitriol people give it, I don't think it's ugly at all. Its problem stems from the fact that it doesn't match most outfits, being a unique blood orange colour instead of red.

[@MultiKl]

Black dog jacket, george's hat, and sailors eyepatch are a mean combo if you ask me.

[@Bacxaber]

That indeed looks cool but I don't have the blackdog stuff. There aren't many black jackets to pair the hat with...the black ferryman is limited too.

[@nevigoos397]

Captain, what do you think of this one and what could I change for it to look better? - Flameheart's hat - Dark Adventurer jacket - Prosperous Privateer gloves / the silver gauntlet - Eyepatch of cursed bone / silver Pirate Legend eyepatch - any black shirt and pants - Heroic Helm boots / Dark Adventurer boots - Flameheart's beard - Hair of Cursed Bone No peglegs or hooks.

[@Bacxaber]

The gauntlet goes well with the DA stuff since they have silver accents, though the privateer "gloves" are warm and don't exactly match, but you can offset that with enough gold items such as those boots. Some black shirts are better than others, I'd go with the black frilly one because it matches the status of the rest of the look. Overall sounds pretty decent.

[@dean5389]

Heyo, incredible video as always One small thing I'd like to comment on since I've been datamining Sea Of Thieves for a while, is that the stripey shirts (and other clothes) you mention are in the game files, are actually tailor made for the NPC that use them. Now the hats aren't really a problem since they're one static model, but other articles of clothing are a lot more complicated. Each shirt model has a normal variant, a tucked in variant, a variant for when you're wearing a jacket, and a variant for when you're wearing a jacket and it's tucked in. Not to mention making it conform to every body type. Now I'm sure rare has automated these processes, but it is a small barrier for adding them to the game. Also if an npc is wearing a jacket over a shirt, and they wanted to add that shirt into the game for players, they would have to model the entire rest of that shirt as well, for when a player isn't wearing a jacket ya know? I would still love more pirate looking clothing in game, but just porting over from npcs isn't really viable or easily done.

[@Bacxaber]

Aren't the striped shirt and socks I showed just reskins of the admiral ones though? If the model's done, I don't see why they can't add the reskin.

[@dean5389]
