pirate shirts
Billowy corsair garments
A pirate shirt is a loose, billowy garment with a deep V-neck, lace-up front, and voluminous sleeves gathered at the wrists.
The style evokes romanticized images of 17th- and 18th-century seafarers and appears in costume shops, Renaissance fairs, and historical fiction.
The term gained pop-culture traction from a 1993 *Seinfeld* episode in which Jerry reluctantly wears one on television: But I don't want to be a pirate!
