Historical garb

Post by Boner »

Can anyone recommend a historically accurate clothing company? Particularly those that provide early 13th century europe? It is for a living history group. An Australian company would be excellent, however overseas will suffice.

Oh, and it should be able to be worn by the upper classes of society.

You should visit Eastern Massachusetts - were you to go by town signs, you would think you took a wrong turn and ended up in East Anglia - or you woke up one moring and thought East Anglia had gone horribly wrong.

We even have an Ipswich.
