there's actually a big debate over what is the end date, too.
since the rules mention the begging of the Rennaisance, the dates are a little more fluid than some would like.
Renn. period starts later someplaces than elsewhere, so you could have russian 1600-ish garb as perfectly acceptable while Italian in the SAME YEAR isn't.
However, 1600 is the official cut-off date, and 1650 is the absolute cut-off date if anyone notices.... (and the garb nazis will... ignore them.. or throw water on them and watch them melt..)
here's one person's thought on the end date, as gleaned from the SCA tribe on tribe.net:
"I suspect the thought process on 1600 went: "well, 1600's a nice round year" "okay, sounds good." There shouldn't even be a date as such, it should be by form of era. So if you can demonstrate that what you are doing is a part of the medieval/rennaissance era of a particular culture, it's okay. So later medieval era Russian stuff would be allowed while at the same time Thirty Years War stuff wouldn't, even if they were at the same time. It needs to be less "ZOMG that's from 1620!" and more "did you realize you're dressed like a Musketeer?""
(the above is from Elsbeth on tribe.net.. I can't say it better than she.)

actually, the cutoff date is supposed to be 1604, when Elizabeth I passed away, but most people just round down to 1600. After the death of Elizabeth, things got pretty strange (English Civil War, Puritans, no theater or fun), so I think that is the reasoning for that.
Also, here in the Midrealm, we don't have any problems with Asian and other culture personas. I know that we have one knight who has a Japanese persona, and we even have a knight/pelican who has an Aztec persona. I think if you want to have a persona of whatever type, it's fine by me, just do some research into it and do it to the best of your ability.
Oh, and pirates? My husband's persona is a Castillian "heavily armed procurer of other people's goods", from about the time of Elizabeth I, who moved to England to avoid religious persecution. And also found the love of a good woman there, too biggrin
