Replica Historic Cloth For Period Costumes
Replica Historic Cloth For Period Costumes
The days of making replica historic costumes from nylon and polyester are hopefully long gone, and claiming something to be “authentic”
simply because it is made of wool is no longer enough for many. Having worked professionally alongside two of this country’s leading
archaeological textile specialists I was aware of exactly what sorts of cloth I should be using for my own replica clothing. I realised
the only way to get historically accurate types of un-dyed primitive fleece and yarn and to achieve correct thread counts and patterns of weave was to take control of every stage of manufacture. As others I knew through museums and historical re-enactment heard about my little project it grew to a size where it became economically viable to commission the production of short bolts of accurate replica cloth. This
lead to the birth of “Time Warp Textiles Cloth Co-operative”; a group scheme which will periodically commission short bolts of replica
cloth, collectively enabling participating members to acquire bespoke replica cloth they may not individually have been able
to afford to produce. We do occasionally have a limited selection of cloth available directly for sale, but this often sells out quite quickly. To allow the greatest freedom to create what people actually want, most is woven on a bespoke basis.
