Petty Chapman is now a hobby/part time endeavour and will happily trade books and patterns and buttons etc by mail order, and now has a paypal account (which I have yet to use). Prices on application. Costumes made to order. Cloth etc sold only at events. Still available for costuming workshops, and talks-presentations on a wide variety of historical and costume relevant subjects.
Petty Chapman is aimed specifically at the costuming needs of Re-enactors who want to make their own clothes using the best possible products. We sell museum quality pure wool at affordable prices in authentic colours, matched to historically accurate natural dyes, linens and cottons. We can also provide silks and velvets to order, together with interlinings for arming jacks and riding coats.Additionally, we offer pearls and natural stones suitable for rosaries and embroidered or embellished work, authentically cast pewter buttons and cloak closures in a variety of designs, toggles and beads in dyed and natural woods. We also provide authentic toys for children., and our range of patterns and pattern books from the Roman age through to the nineteenth century is detailed on the second page of this website.
We supply re-enactors the UK at a variety of re-enactment events, which can be found detailed on the third page of this website. For sponsors, if you want us to come and trade at your event then please make contact as above but please be aware that we are in great demand and can generally be relied upon to be fully booked for several months in advance.
David Rushworth can also be booked as a speaker on social history and
textiles and armour throughout the ages.
