Moresca Jerkins

Does anyone have experience with these? They don't really seem to list the measurements of their stock sizes on the website nor do they always list which size each swatch/color/pattern is available in. From the searches I've done, people seem happy with Moresca products, but how do you go about ordering?

I'd try to get in touch with someone in customer service who could walk you through the whole process. Wonderful garb...not so wonderful website.

They seem to have nice faire garb; I'm looking for something to supplement my Pendragon doublet... the damn thing has far too many laces for its own good.

   All the above advice is spot on.  Moresca  will not sell you fitted garb without a set of measurements provided by you and they will follow up via phone or email extensively to make sure you have the item(s) that fits, in the color/color combo you want. They update and discontinue items every now and then, and the exact item you want may not be available in multiple sizes.   They send all garb via certified mail and they want to be sure the garb fits before it's sent.

They're very thorough. I spent a good 45 minutes between telephone calls and e-mails to verify fit and style/color availability.

  If you decide to buy, you will be very happy with it.  Trust them to know what goes with what, also.  The swatches don't do justice to the wonderful colors and textures.

They are indeed thorough in exchange of info over the phone. Also, honest and they know whereof they speak. Last year I wanted one in grey and the gal talking to me actually recommend that I not buy it as they'd had long-term problems with the grey ones being washed, etc. Something due to that particular dye had messed with the material or something.

Also, I was convinced I needed a large. Again, it was recommended I order a XL. I didn't listen. I had to send it back and get a XL. 

The first one I bought, I purchased here at GARF in '97 and it's still going strong. Even though for years, not knowing better, I beat the everlovin' dog-squeeze out of my clothes in the wash.... longest agitation, highest settings, full hour in the highest heat in the dryer...the whole bit. The fact that it and my forest green Purple Unicorn shirt I bought in '91 have survived all of that are a testament to their quality, I'd guess.

Yeah, I'm still debating if the XL I ordered is roomy enough. I'll have to drag the rest of the garb out later to see if it will fit. They recommended the XL but it feels a bit small around the hips.
