Hoist the sails, me hearties! Another jolly tar has joined the Royal Navy. This figure is originally from Mars Figures (https://www.michtoy.com/item-MAF-32020-Pirates_of_the_Caribbean.html). He wears a jacket with very short sleeves, perhaps originally designed for a smaller sailor. He wears a cap and neckcloth like many other sailor figures. The most unusual feature of his clothing is the pair of petticoat trousers that he is wearing. It is most gratifying to see a figure wearing these, as they were a common item of clothing for sailors (for illustrations of petticoat trousers, see https://www.britishtars.com/search/label/petticoat%20trousers). Most other sailors in this scale make do with breeches or long trousers, which were also common.
The only conversion work that was done on him was to remove his waist sash, which was an uncommon piece of equipment for a British sailor, and replace it with a generic leather belt.
The Royal Navy is recruiting to chastise His Majesty’s rebellious subjects!
