Many living historians are
prohibited from developing their impressions because of the costly
nature of authentic goods. Very often the materials that go into
a particular garment can be had for an excellent price, but because of
the labor involved, the prices can quickly go into the triple figures.
The simple truth is, if you can do five basic stitches (whip
stitch, top stitch, running stitch, buttonhole stitch, and back stitch)
you can make just about any 19th century garment if given the right
instructions.
Our kits will include everything you need to make yourself a top quality garment except the needle and the time it takes to put it together. If you carefully follow our instructions, using the color pictures and contacting us with any specific questions you might have, you can reproduce an entirely handsewn garment for a fraction of the cost of a finished good from a retailer or manufacturer. The kits will include all the pieces needed to make the garment (properly labeled,) detailed instructions with color pictures throughout, thread, and even a ball of wax.
