Renaissance Faire Clothing

Renaissance faire clothing is the base for anyone getting started performing at Renaissance festivals. Over the past few years, we've developed an incredible assortment of clothing and other pieces of custom-handmade art which I'd like to share.

The following is a list of quality items we've bought at faire. If you are looking for Renaissance Faire clothing, start here.

Marc's Endorsements:

House of Dra
Shirts from Dra were the first items I ever bought at faire and her Kosack shirts continue to be a favorite of mine. She also honored me once at the Texas Renaissance Festival, by giving me a green silk vest which has become a regular part of my Renaissance Faire attire.

Dubose Designs
I designed a website for Kevin DuBose a couple years back. It hasn't done nearly as well as the Leather Journal he designed for me. It's custom-made with a Celtic knot on the front and a beautiful leafy green leather etching on the back. Exquisite work. Now whenever we want a custom-made piece of art, we go to Kevin.

Dresses by Donna
We first met Donna at the now-deceased, West Texas Renaissance Festival. It was cold and rainy, and I needed an all-purpose cloak. Donna made one for me. Beautiful brown, machine-washable cloak that continues to serve me well. Artfully done.

Becca's Magic
Donna's cloak was perfect for warmer weather, but I needed a cold weather cloak to. For that, I went to Becca. Becca is an artist. No two cloaks are ever the same. I wear her cloak to work and compliments galore. What can I say, it's well-designed to make it easy for me to stay warm and still play the autoharp in cold weather.

But that's not all she made for us. Becca's designed us shirts, dublets, hats, you name it, she's done it! Pure artistic genius.

Imagination Leather
A few years back, I needed a pouch to hold CDs. Hans came to the rescue. I gave him full-artistic control. I remember when he brought me my pouch that not goes Everywhere I go with the autoharp. He had a HUGE smile on his face and showed me his masterpiece. He said, he knew it was for a musician, so he carved a guitar on it with all these beautifully intricate designs. It's wonderful piece of art that I'll always treasure.

Jim Cook's Renaissance Faire Boots
Ye know how a lot of people say "satisfaction guaranteed"? Well, usually, they don't expect you to take them up on that guarantee. So when a local boot maker gave me that guarantee for some quality leather boots, I decided to take him up on the offer. He'd made twenty pairs before me that came out perfect. Mine didn't, but that's okay, because Jim kept his promise and made some incrediblely comfortable boots. Just the thing every working faire person needs.
