Turnaround time is about 8-10 weeks with the potential for delays during faire season. Regular non-garb orders are generally shipped within a week if we have it in stock.
If you need your order by a certain date, please call us and we will work with you to see if that is possible!

Please call or email us if you have a problem with an item. Most of our garments are custom made and are not refundable. Please take careful measurements and email if you are unsure.
If a custom item does not fit, or if you are not happy, please call or email to discuss an exchange.

If an exchange does not work out, your money will be refunded in the form of a gift certificate that can be used for any item on our site.

Please be assured that we want you to be happy and satisfied!

Doublets

To determine the size of your doublet, measure your Chest. We will need the fullest part of your chest, and take a deep breath then you measure so it's nicely expanded. You will also measure your abdomen, at the fullest part again.

Also measure your underarm seam. This runs from about an inch under the arm to the point on your side that you would like your doublet's hem to sit. This is going to vary, but for most people, is about an inch below the top of the pelvic bone. If you have a big belly, you will want to have a doublet that's a bit longer for a more flattering fit. If your measurement on this area is longer/shorter than the chart calls for, you will want to consider ordering a custom doublet.

You'll want to choose a size that is a bit bigger than your largest measurements but keep in mind how tight you want it to be. Most men will want a looser fit.

You can choose custom doublet on the order pages, or you can email us with your measurements so we can help you choose the best size or determine if you need a custom. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you are in doubt!
