€49.99
Tax included
*Best mate of Anne Bonny was Mary Read. Read had a long history of masquerading as male. She joined the British military as Mark Read. She found love with a Flemish soldier, but upon his untimely death Read headed to the West Indies. As fate would have it, her ship was taken by pirates, who pushed her to join their ranks. Read set sail with Anne Bonny and Calico Jack on the Revenge in 1720.
*When the Revenge was captured by pirate hunter Captain Jonathan Barnet, Read joined Bonny in "pleading the belly." But pregnancy from her unnamed husband would not save her. She died on April 28th 1721, from a violent fever in her prison cell. No record is made of the burial of a baby. Some suspect Read and the infant died during childbirth.
Imagined in Brittany and printed in France, our polo shirts are all pleasing to wear, soft to the touch and comfortable. Our garments are made only from natural fibres from sustainable plantations that lend unrivalled softness to our items. ORGANIC cotton is not an option, it’s a requirement. Our polo shirts are printed with organic inks.
