Any Illinois seamstress?

Ye'll be needin' a milliner, haberdasher or costumer if ye want something made just for yer person an' it'll cost more an a few doubloons to be sure. Not a task for the ordinary seamstress, mind you. OTOH, ave ye searched on "historical hats" or perused the party costume websites? Other options include SCA and Revolutionary War reenactment clothiers and costumers. Any self-respecting rogue needs a fine chapeau lest ye be cast a scurvy knave like the rest o'them landlubber scallywags.
