Quartermaster James Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I've really appreciated something similar on other boards and so thought to start this thread here. Besides that, I really wanted to give a positive shout-out for At the Sign of the White Rose! I just received a sailor's short jacket (something I've wanted for a long time now) and am very happy. Great work, timely done, and run by our very own Kathryn & Hawkyns. What's not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Brand Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 You can't talk about a new sailor's jacket and not post a picture. Infidel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Neat idea! Although I've only used them for one project (because I only needed one), I really though the folks at Madame Joan's Wee Wiggies did a fine job making my hair queue (aka "plaited pony tail"). It took a few weeks to get the right hair color, but I really liked the result and it was very reasonably priced, IMO. Kudos to blackjohn for suggesting them to me as well. :rolleyes: Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective.

Seriously though, our current weather is not such a camera would survive. Pictures will have to wait upon another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartermaster James Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 Let me also give positive shout-outs for Callenish Gunner and History Fanatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelsbagley Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Let me also give positive shout-outs for Callenish Gunner and History Fanatic. I'd like to second all of these recommendations! I have recently purchased a mantelet for the wife from HistoryFanatic (Nathan), as well as ordered a brazier. And his prompt and quick attention and speedy service on fulfilling the orders is most commendable. I bought an English Lock Horse Pistol from Callenish earlier this year, and it has been my most reliable flintlock! And I was lucky enough to scoop up some of the fabrics and other things GoF was selling earlier this year, as well as having bought a few sets of the shoe buckles from him... and he was very communicative during the entire process, and much quicker than one would expect for cross-Atlantic commerce. These are three top notch vendors and well worth considering for your business! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capn'rob Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 About a year and a half ago I ordered a Frock Coat and Drop Front Breeches from Black Bear Historical Clothing. I asked if they could possibly deliver them in time for the Buccaneer's Ball, Beaufort Pyrate Festival. They said they'd be there, but "just in time". They arrived on the day promised. They fit perfectly to the measurements I'd given and I found them to be of very good quality. My Grandfather was a Uniform Maker. One of his specialties was the Fife and Drum Corps of the New England Area where I come from. Although he hasn't made a uniform since the mid-sixties, some of the corps are still wearing garments he made. I say that to say this; Black Bear makes quality. It is made by local folks in West Virginia so you are supporting a local community. At the Blackbeard Festival in Hampton, VA, he could not unload his trailer to set up his tent. People were buying as quick as he could pull it out of the rig! Let's see, High quality, modest price and locally made, works for me!

William Brand Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 A big shout out to Captain Jim for a finely crafted pipe box. It is a beauty. And another shout to Haunting Lily for the ditty bag she made me some time back. I was proud to have it about at PIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I am still using my Lily Alexander original bag as a surgeon's battle tote and a way to store certain prized instruments when stowed. It lost a button after two years of abuse, but I actually like it all the more for that. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective.

j8ksdad Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I have done business with both Liam McMac and Willie Wobble in the past few weeks. Pleasant transactions and fine products from both. I'll eat when I'm hungry. I'll drink when I'm dry. If the hard times don't kill me I'll lay down and die. Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey I cry. If you don't give me rye whiskey, I surely will die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
