I don't think satin would be a good idea; stalk through some pictures of people doing pirates at renfaires, you'll almost never see satin.... Actually about the closest thing I remember seeing to satin at renfaire is like, taffetta, and that's usually on royal gowns.

Linen is generally a great fabric to use, you can also use HIGH QUALITY brocades (not that cheap shiny stuff, use upholstery brocade; I suggest stalking the red tag section at joanns,) velvet can work if you don't use crushed velvet. I would probably restrict the more expensive fabrics to like, the coat & maybe vest, and use linen for things like skirts/tunics/etc

That's just me though ^^
