Reviewed product: Sailor Slop Breeches

Never before have I tried a piece of pirate clothing that seemed more "ready for duty" than the pirate slops from Flying Canoe Traders. It's easy to imagine these heavyweight canvas breeches serving aboard a sailing vessel hundreds of years ago, and they could surely perform just as admirably today. A row of seven metal buttons adorn the crotch, while a piece of cord in the back can be used to fine-tune the size - just like the old days. The extra wide legs will allow plenty of summertime ventilation while maintaining that swabbylike appearance that only a good pair of slops can provide.

Straight from the box these slops seem durable and ready for action - the only thing they lack is a good bit of scruff to give them that "broken in" feel. I'm looking forward to remedying this come summer, when they're sure to be worn aplenty!
