We start where the kit sets leave off and can design you a product which will be authentic, well researched and durable. Our costumes are built to last. We plan for cleaning, alterations and repairs. We use fabrics which suit the design, if you are a re-enactor you get natural fibres, (hand woven and stitched if you require), for others durability means machine washable.
