Coolest Captain Jack Sparrow Costume

I got the idea to do this Jack Sparrow costume after jokingly running through 4 lanes of traffic while flaring my arms. My friends said “You run like Jack Sparrow.” So I decided to go with it.

I thought about it for about the next year re watching the movies and slowly getting down quotes and the way he talks. Slowly over the year I began to buy fabric and some Good Will clothes to edit and use as patterns. I spent 30 hours right before Halloween hand sewing the costume together.

I started going out to pre-Halloween parties a week before actual Halloween 2007. This enabled me to get reactions from people of things I needed to add and work on. Wearing the costume has been an amazing experience. I’ve posed for around 400 photos and become somewhat famous at my college simply for the costume and the character of performing as Jack Sparrow when in costume.

I knew I did well when people told me they didn’t just think I was in costume as jack sparrow, they thought I was actually Johnny Depp.
