We’re out and about at events during July and August; with several trips away and back during this time. Orders will continue to ship, though replies and despatches may occasionally take a little longer while we’re travelling. Thank you for your patience and for being part of our journey.

Linens
All our linens are prewashed before being cut. This should remove the risk of garment shrinkage if properly cared for. We recommend washing in a max 30 degree Celsius cycle with gentle detergent, reshape while damp and air dry, do not tumble dry. Linen can be ironed fairly hot, be careful not to singe, best to iron when still slightly damp on the reverse side. Many of our linens are custom dyed, whilst we take every precaution to avoid risk of colour run, we cannot guarantee there will be none. If your garment has strong or contrasting colours, we recommend dry cleaning or hand washing in cold water to minimise any possible colour run, and wash separately from other garments.
Wools
Wools should be hand washed in warm water, or washed in specific hand wash cycle max 20 degrees Celsius. ALWAYS use detergent designed for wool. Reshape your garment when damp and air dry, NEVER tumble dry. Wool can be ironed on a cool setting, best to iron when still slightly damp, use an ironing cloth or iron on the reverse side.
Silks
We recommend having silk garments dry cleaned professionally.
Quilted
Our range of quilted garments can be washed on a cool delicates cycle using gentle detergent, reshape while damp and allow to air dry inside and out, do not tumble dry. Many of our linens are custom dyed, whilst we take every precaution to avoid risk of colour run, we cannot guarantee there will be none. If your garment has strong or contrasting colours, we recommend dry cleaning or hand washing in cold water to minimise any possible colour run, and wash separately from other garments.
4 reviews for Transitional hose
Rated 5 out of 5

I had a pair of XV century joined hose made to go with an arming doublet. The fit is excellent and unlike with some hose I have owned, I am able to squat and bend without fear of ripping any of the seams.
A great product and excellent service!

I ordered these to use for Buhurt fighting…at first they were strange and I couldn’t tell if they fit right or how to even properly wear them. The team at Quiverstock was extremely helpful and professional every step of the way in helping me figure them out.
After having used them all day at an event I can say they have exceeded my expectations in every way imaginable. I live in Texas and they aren’t too hot, they aren’t itchy, the fit is PERFECT and extremely flattering. Never again will taking a piss in armor be a challenge with the codpiece addition on the later period style. Worth every penny, you’ll love them so much you need to get two pairs now so you don’t have to order a second set later.
Note: If you order a pair with enclosed feet like I did, expect your shoe size to go up about 1 size to accomodate the additional material.
