Historical clothing realm and other stores

[jollybane]

Hi i was wondering if anyone has bought from historicalclothingrealm.com or knows about them. Mainly im trying to figure out if its a safe site to order from. Also if you know of any other safe sites similar to this i could order medieval armor and gear from please drop a link.

Renstore


I have purchased boots and other things from them. No armor, but what i have bought was decent quality and came in a timely manner.

[jollybane]

did you purchase from rem store or historical clothing?

[randy]

Renstore, sorry should have been more specific.

What kind of clothes are you looking for? Both those stores sell run-of-the-mill mass produced stuff of variable quality that you can get from most retailers . I once bought some breeches from Renstore and they were a horrid poly-cotton blend.

What are you looking to get? A lot of us take commissions for custom made garb...

i am really not sure what i want yet at minimum some coolish mideval pants shirt and bracers at most some light leather armor

For armor, I recommend commissioning from an experienced leathersmith in our community rather than buying that mass produced stuff from those retailers. A couple of suggestions in alphabetical order:

Burke's Bulwarks - His stuff is amazing. I am eagerly awaiting a commission from him.

Forkbeard - I saw the work he did for Atlantis - awesome! He has posted pics of a lot of his work on these boards. You can PM him.

If you search these forums, you'll find some other skilled smiths (as well as tailors).

If you're going to lay out a good bit of cash you owe it to yourself to look into commissioning custom made garb and armor. For what you might spend on some mass produced costuming that looks like mass produced costuming you could likely get some pretty sick handmade gear.

a couple of these addresses only has a couple of pieces of garb,....arg

Two of them are custom shops... I'm not sure what you're trying to articulate.

And much, much higher in a quality and design than the Museum Replicas and Sofie's Stitches stuff from the shop mentioned in the first post.
