How is Armstreet's Tunics?

Post by Joseph »

I am headed back to Pennsic, haven't been to War in years and I definitely don't have enough garb, even for my short trip (4-5 days most)

http://armstreet.com/store/clothes/blue ... ury-design
Has anyone on here purchased this from Armstreet?

I am thinking just buying 2 or 3 and making it work but I didn't see any threads about their garments.

(for any question as to regards to "what I am trying to wear" I would say simple tunics that I can put on after fighting, nothing special, ornate or involving accessories.

Hey HC. Neverland garb has cheap linen tunics for 40, cotton for 22. You can buy from her online, or she is at Pennsic as well and you can just get stuff there. Linengarb.com/Adric 13 has great stuff, cut for fighting in.

www.tailoredtunics.com has linen tunics made to your personal measurements starting at $45 - it sounds like they'd be exactly what you're looking for.

My apologies for not answering your actual question, I've never ordered from Armstreet.

I purchased one of these about two years ago on eBay.http://armstreet.com/store/clothes/natu ... he-paladin Mine is natural with black trim. The natural linen is a little rough texture wise, but the black was very suble. It is well constructed and sturdy. Overall I am happy with my tunic, but I think you can get a better buy from linegarb.com or tailoredtunics.com, especially considering you don't have to pay international shipping. I also have a tunic from linen garb and one from tailored tunics. Either one fits the bill for something simple and comfortable.

My wife purchased a dress from Armstreet (http://armstreet.com/store/clothes/medi ... -the-hills)

The quality and fit are outstanding, as was the ebay business transaction.


Almost all of my linen garb has come from Adric at Linenegarb.com. Outstanding durability and wear, both on and off the field.

He's also a really great guy!

I have two of them. They are well made, but not the heaviest of linens. I would certainly order from them again

I've bought 4 tunics from Armstreet and I love everyone of them. I'm a big guy and they made everything to my measurements in a very timely manner and I will buy from them again.
