Garb-Related
Fire Mountain Gems &
Beads
Fantastic prices and great service. Just about any kind of bead or
gemstone, you can find it here. They also stock pearls in a great
profusion of styles, shapes, colors, and prices. The online catalog
doesn't do the selection true justice -- their paper catalog is truly a
wonder to behold (and very dangerous to anybody who likes sparkly
things).
Calontir Trim
Splendid and not-too-expensive trims of all kinds and for just about all
periods.
Historic
Enterprises
Wonderful garb and accessories for reasonable
prices. I've ordered from them and was extremely pleased with the
results.
Billy and
Charlie's Pewterworks
Buttons, belt findings, and brooches,
all made of soft pewter. A very informative site, very fun to prowl.
Hedgehog
Handworks
Very SCA-friendly business that sells just about
everything that relates to handsewing, including hand-dyed silk embroidery
floss and 100% linen thread. Also sells a lot of books and tools, like
little wooden needle cases.
The Pillaged
Village
SCA business that sells just about everything, from
inexpensive shoes to mugs to t-shirts to all kinds of books to a kabillion
kinds of trim. Very friendly people. Only drawback is that you don't find
out if something's on back order till too late, and back orders happen a
lot to me for some reason.
Phoenix Textiles (now Fabric.com)
An
excellent place to get fabrics. Their selection is truly staggering and
the prices are excellent. I've ordered a few times through them and have
always been happy with the results. Their customer service standards are
superlative and the goods live up to the descriptions.
Chain mail & More
Chainmail accessories. I've purchased from this vendor and was thrilled
with the speed of delivery and high quality of the goods. I was looking
for belly-dancing jewelry and found it in spades, but there's a lot of
other stuff there. Bonus: Ladies of substance should find plenty of fun on
this site.
House of Dra
Reasonably priced Renaissance Fair and mundane garb, made of lovely
soft cotton. I've seen this merchant at fairs and events for quite some
time--lovely people, and I'm happy to have them here.
Odd Bodkin
Now that Grannd Garb seems like it's gone totally under, Odd Bodkin steps
in to fill in an important gap. Boning, corset lacing, and grommets can be
found here. She also has a nice selection of velvet ribbon.
Illusion
Jewels, Renaissance Jewelry by Dorothea
Lovely, period-looking jewelry for those who need English or
European finishing touches. Her girdles are just gorgeous, and it's
all very reasonably priced.
Dharma Trading Co.
If you have any textile or yarn that needs dyeing, this is your new friend-site.
Amazing variety and great how-to section. They also sell natural dyes for the
recreationist crowd.
