Farthingale provided my husband and me with exceptional clothes, that were lovingly made, not just "I want this" and they make it: no, they are people who think along with you, make suggestions and try to make the costume according to historical accuracy and personal taste and style. Reasonably priced, I am delighted with the quality, and the hats from Farthingale Historical hats are to die for. In short, a reenactors playpool. I'll go back there any time.

There really is no better place to buy reproduction Napoleonic costumes from. I have purchased many items of clothing and have never been disappointed. Some years ago I bought a replica of Admiral Nelson’s undress coat that he wore at Trafalgar and having seen the original on display at the NMM I can say it was virtually identical. The level of detail and expertise is incomparable. I would (and have many times) recommended Farthingale as the best place for all your historical clothing.

I have bought numerous items from Chris over a period of time. His stock items are first class. His tailor made uniforms are exquisite. We discussed my needs, used historical sources and the outcome was fantastic. You can see pictures of my 10th Hussar uniform on his an pages.

Fantastic service !! The Costumes are incredible - made to perfection !! Great customer service. I'm really really impressed ! Definitely would recommend this company ! Thanks Farthingale 👍🏻👍🏻

Had a naval captains frock made in August 2015, Chris did an excellent job, very friendly, gets back to emails fast, fair prices. Just know, it's just a few people working in his shop so expect orders to take some time. I live in the United States and I emailed them my measurements and the coat fit wonderfully. Would buy from these people again
