Hi folks!

We have new products, just in time for the holidays. Knowing that everyone is feeling the pinch we've opted for the long term solution of finding more affordable versions of some of our popular items, rather than simply offering short term 'Holiday Sale' specials. Proving that you can have your cake and eat it too, these new items carry some of our highest Authenticity Ratings, along with a very modest price tag!

We are pleased to offer 3 new styles of basic medieval glassware. Beefier than our other glassware, these economical glasses are better able to take the abuse of traveling to events, and are perfect for home use.

Medieval glassware




We also have beautiful new knives to complete any ensemble! Two styles and 4 choices of handle material, all at a budget conscious price.

Knop handled knife



Large utility knife, which is great for kitchen and table use. It would also make an impressive huntsman's knife.



We have a gorgeous new 'living history' book at a special introductory price-

The many events in the life of the fictional Thibaut des Puys de Morsaing are used as a framework to stage France's medieval society in the 12th and 13th C. Featuring members of the reenactment groups 'Fief et Chevalerie' and '1186-583' the excellently reconstructed costumes and weapons evoke soldier life both on and off the battlefield.

The Life of a Knight 1171-1252



We also have new items which have been developed at your request-

Linen Anglo Saxon Trousers
You asked for these trousers in linen, and here they are! The same Regia Anglorum/Vikings approved pattern now in several weights of linen.

Linen Anglo Saxon trousers



Linen Under Kyrtle
Another item you've asked for, and we've been happy to develop for you! Linen under kyrtle comes in unbleached or cream coloured linen and is the perfect compliment to our Dark Ages tunics.

Linen under kyrtle



Please note that we have made all of our Dark Ages tunics a bit longer, to better conform to the new Regia standards which were enacted this year. The new standard requires tunics/kyrtles to fall below a man's knee when belted.

ALSO:

Ankle boots are back in stock.



Liz had 4 new tablet woven braids ready for us at the Reenactor's Market 2 weeks ago, so along with a choice of 3 beautiful fabrics, we have a great selection of trims for our
Viking hat with hand woven braid



We are hard at work on several other new products which were not quite ready for the holidays but will be early in the new year. We'll be sure to announce them as soon as they're ready to go!

Thanks for your support, and we wish all of you a great holiday season!

I am so pleased to see you selling your ankle boots again. I have been looking for a year now without success so your announcement today made mine. Plus I like the new viking hats. I ordered both right away. Have a very Merry Christmas
and thanks for all the beautiful products you offer.
