Historic Enterprises
Offering a complete selection of pre-18th century historical products. Their goods are museum reproduction quality and are either exact reproductions of extant artifacts, or are logical extrapolations based on available historical material. All of the items in their catalog are either made in their own workshops, or are crafted specially for them by carefully selected, highly skilled artisans. These garments and accessories are among the finest I have seen on the web. In addition, I have partnerred with them to receive the scraps from their cutting room floor, which are recycled into Lao Hats!

Swanfield Horncraft and Flint Knapping Art
