'Back then' everything was 'hand sewn'......using a machine is just progress.....ifin ye wants an authentic, then ye either makes it yer self...or....ye pays someone wi' yer skills t' makes it...which costs.
we are lucky to have a very good seamstress aboard that does 90% of our costumin'....(cheers sam)......an' I knows fer a fact she makes our stuff 'at a loss'.....authentic or naught.........
so.....in all, ifin I was after the 'quality clothin' that ye be makin'....money ain't the problem.........'tis how soon could ye make it, an' how soon I could wear it.....
keep up the good work, don't be downhearted......have an' ale on me sah!
