Historical fabrics for time travelers

You won’t find these historical fabrics anywhere else. Our own exclusive, limited runs of brocade and damask historical textiles are based on actual fragments of historical fabrics that we’ve personally hunted down in museums around the world for a selection that will gratify those who demand absolute authenticity.

Many of our historical fabrics are woven by hand using centuries-old Persian looms. If you’re looking for historical fabrics, you’ll find authentic brocades from all periods.

We also have modern brocades in contemporary or historically inspired patterns as well as a range of pure linen fabrics, real silks, quality wools, and other textiles suitable for use in re-enactment, theater and film, role-playing and period décor.
