A common style of Doublet, seen through out the 15th century and into the early 16th century. This style is collared and has full topped sleeves which taper to closely fit the lower arm. The waist has a single tab attached all the way round it, in which there are six sets of eyelet pairs to which additional ties or cords may be used to attached hose to.
The outer garment is wool and lined in calico. Four leather tie fastenings at front.
We also sell brass egrets (or point ends), should you wish to make your own points to replace the leather ties, at £1 each. Including the points for the front and hose, you will need a total of 16 egrets or (20 for 46" chest)

The classic joined leg hose, seen through out the 15th century and early 16th century. The garment is "cut on the cross" to give it maximium stretch to the limits of the material, with codpiece over the front panel opening. The waist has six sets of eyelet pairs to which additional ties or cords may be used to attach or "point" to a Doublet or Pourpoint.
The outer garment is wool and strenghtened at the waistband with calico. Braid tie fastening at front and codpiece.
We also sell brass aiglets (or point ends), should you wish to make your own points, at £1 each. Including the points for the front and codpiece, you will need a total of 14 aiglets or (18 for 44" and 46" waist) or just 6 for the codpiece and front fastening.
Finally, you are warned to kneel and not to bend over when wearing hose - you will expose yourself to all with dramatic rapidity (or rip-idity perhaps).

The Single Legged Hose is literally a sleeve for the leg, without any connection of material between each leg. Suitable for 12th to 15th century, they would also double for much earlier trews (trousers) when worn with a thiegh length or longer tunic, where the separation of leg is not visible. The garment is "cut on the cross" to give it maximium stretch to the limits of the material. Each leg has a pair of eyelet holes to tie or attach to the Braies or an under belt as you prefer.
The outer garment is wool and strenghtened at the top of the leg with calico.
You will need to purchase Long Braies to wear with Single Legged Hose. We also sell brass aiglets (or point ends), at £1 each. You will need a total of 4 aiglets, if you wish to use points for this garment.
It can be delicately stated that gentlemen of a larger waist size may find this a more practical option to wearing Joined Leg Hose and the inherent risks of having a large posterior constrained within tight fitting material.

Size: Standard, one size. Several colours available ex-stock.

We refer to this garment as a Livery Coat as it was the standard issue style to liveried retainers of the various 15th century noble factions. It is however a fairly generic coat worn from early 15th centry to late 16th century, by both military and civilian alike. This style is high collared and has full topped sleeves which taper to the wrist. The body is upper thiegh length, full and should be belted around the waist to display folds.
The outer garment is wool and lined in tough calico. Round, wooden bead buttons.

Size: Standard to chest (inches), Small 36", Medium 38" to 44", Large 46" to 48", wide range ex-stock (except Small size to order only).

Very similar to the Livery Coat, the Gown is a vastly more opulent garment. The extra length and sheer amount of cloth involved, depicts a wearer of at least upper end of middle class merchant status, even lesser noblity and upper class. This style is high collared and has full topped sleeves which taper to the wrist. The body is knee length, very full and should be belted around the waist to display folds.
The outer garment is wool and lined in tough calico. Round, wooden bead buttons.

Size: Standard to chest (inches), Small 36", Medium 38" to 44", Large 46" to 48", wide range ex-stock (except Small size to order only).

This is the late 14th, 15th century and early 16th century style kirtle, close fitting and with sleeves which taper to closely fit the arm and has a lace up front. The front should be worn laced close together (straight laced). Using cross lacing causes the shift to show through and is considered "advertising" (whence we have a "loose woman").
The garment is available in wool or linen. A long piece of braid for lacing is included.
We also sell brass aiglets (or point ends), should you wish to make lacing the garment a lot easier, at £1 each, you will need 2, one for each lace end.
Technically, the Kirtle is an underdress - although wearing it on it's own acceptable in hot weather, for colder weather you should consider an Overdress or at least making a Tabard or similar. Do not even think about wearing one without a Shift underneath!

Size: Bust (inches), 32" to 44" ex-stock in both wool and linen

Our cloaks are made with function in mind. They are thick, hard wearing, durable and above all keep you warm. That is their purpose, they are made out of thick coating quality wool, and are lined in heavy cotton for strength. They are hemmed at the bottom, no half measures, leaving unhemmed edges is sloppy workmanship. The hood is not the floppy, fall over your face fanciful "widow's" style, it sits properly on your head as it should do. The neckline is correctly shaped and as a consequence the cloak will not ride back and strangle you, it will hang about the shoulders equally.
It is an unintended co-incidence that our cloaks happen to look extremely elegant and move beautifully. We would prefer to think you are looking for a hardy and rugged garment to wear round a blazing campfire on freezing cold nights and whipping winds, and stay snug. You can treat them with waterproofing if you wish, but the wool does possess a natural degree of water resistance and even when the wool is very wet, the lining tends to remain dryish except on the shoulders. Never wash your cloak, preferably do not dry clean it either as the dry cleaning chemicals do horrible things to the natural properties of the wool, simply hang it out to air on fine days and it will last you for many, many years.
Let's not get drawn into the arguments flying about as to whether it is authentic to have hoods attached to cloaks. We are happy that they did but life is too short to argue about these things, so your call, if you are not happy with it, acquire one of our Plain Cloaks and separate Hood instead. Generally available in Black, Navy, dark Green or Burgundy, subject to stock.

Size: Standard

A cheaper alternative to the Hooded Cloak, these are simple, single button fastening cloaks without hood or lining. They are the most basic protection against the weather that has been devised since time began and ideal for living history. We also supply separate full, lined hoods if you so require.
Generally, we use lighter weight wools for this sort of cloak (compared to the Hooded Cloaks which are generally heavier wools). We have a couple of very heavy wool plain cloaks, made of a coating wool, be warned we are not joking when we say heavy! If you are up for wearing them, please note the higher postage costs involved.
Cloaks can be treated with waterproofing if you wish. Never wash your cloak, preferably do not dry clean, hang it out to air on fine days instead. Generally available in Navy, dark Green or Burgundy, subject to stock.

Size: Standard. Heavy wool version costs £5 more postage.
