Strangely, in some areas the possibilities for colour customization were decreased after the addition of loot drops, as well as updates to the shop interface and initial pirate customization. Originally, many more of the clothing items available when making a pirate were colour customizable, for example the Dingy Long Coat. Also, a much wider variety of shop items were colour custom, such as the Embellished Vest and Sail Trousers. The items he is wearing are a Linen Long Sleeve, which is still available in that colour from shops, Sail Trousers (as seen here), which are no longer customizable, and I believe one of the vests that were available for colour customization during pirate creation at that time. I think the boots and belt are common items that are still available. Pirates who had some of these items from that time, still have them in their inventory. Personally I have four different discontinued Embellished vests, a brown pair of sail trousers and blue-black celtic trousers.
