I see that Revival Clothing got a positive mark for shoes but hadn't seen any positive feedback regarding garb. Has anyone here had dealings with them in garb situations and if so what were your thoughts.

The website is http://www.revivalclothing.com/

Former forum member Baroness Doune had a set of their 14th century underwear. She is a master seamstress and spoke highly of their quality.

HTH!

Not quite on topic, and not really contributing anything... but I just love that this is a place where one member can comment on the underthings of another member without it being thought in any way out of the ordinary... and actually helpful, as well! 

That just kind of tickles me!  :D

I have used them for a theater, a long while ago, and had no problems.  Everything I ordered was fine.  Nothing special.  But it lasted.

I think this is the company many of my SCA household buy from.  I just fixed one of their tunics (it was on the cheap rack because the wrist were cut too tiny.  It's amusing seeing a grown man, run around, saying he's a T-rex because he had tiny arms since he can't get his hands through the wrists). 

If it is what I think it is, it's very good quality stuff.  It's natural fabrics, proper cuts, and everything you actually need in good quality garb.   You can very easily bling it up with woven trims and pretty jewelry.

Thank you much for the replies everyone. Now I just need to decide what I want, figure the cost and hope I can afford it.

Depending on what you are looking for, have you thought of mixing and matching between stores?

Places like etsy encourage hand-made items by people that aren't huge companies. I'm sure this one is lovely, but may I suggest mixing and matching?

I have one person I buy most of my stuff from because she does custom pieces but charges like it is off the rack.

I actually have been digging around looking at other sellers and frankly I'm not finding many for the style I am looking at. Great idea though, and its one I have been looking into.
