Did you know that pirates didn't just wear eye patches because they lost an eye in a sword fight? The real reason is much more clever: by keeping one eye constantly in the dark, they could quickly go below deck to load the cannons without their vision having to adjust to the darkness. It's that mix of history and pure imagination that makes this fantastic costume accessory, the Pirate Eye Patch from Great Pretenders, so captivating.
