If you have some sewing skills, you can take your bears measurements and adapt a doll costume pattern to fit. For eg this free top pattern:

This author has books too (see bottom of website). You can check out your local library for doll and teddy bear patterns to adapt.

If you need a pattern for teddy bear clothing and assessory patterns, please contact Tailormaid Togs, Dept. SN, 4037 161st Ave. S.E., Bellevue, WA 98006. They have many multi-size patterns range for a variety of sizes of bears including your 13" tall one. I cannot find a phone number for you - please write to them. I think this is a home business and was current in 2000 (mentioned in a sewing magazine).

If they do not have a pirate costume, you can take another and adapt it.

In making the outfit, take for inspiration other pirate bear costumes like this one:
