Cloaks are our speciality and sewing
is a passion - our three main styles of
cloak and other items including bodices
and hats
of distinction, are made ''in house''
at our small cottage dwelling in South
Central Pennsylvania. We sell on eBay
and a search there for "Thistlebees"
will turn up our current pages, which
depending on the time of year may be more
or less. In fact you might well go read
our eBay
feedback pages where you will see
our garments are well received.
We are essentially ''Renaissance'' in
flavor but in fact this includes many
other potential categories. Such as -
"Celtic", "Fantasy Costumes",
"Hippy", Gothic", "Bohemian",
and "Civil War" - to name but
a few!
The Thistlebee's Basic
Cloak, fits shoulder sizes 21"
to 24" and can be made to a length
of your choosing. If smaller or larger
shoulder sizes are required you have only
to say.
Thistlebee's Semi
Circular Cloaks fit most shoulder
sizes and can be made to any length.
Thistlebee's "Hidden
Pocket" Cloaks are very much
'made-to-measure'. The cloak is put on
somewhat akin to putting on a shirt -
it features 'half-circle' sleeves and
when you peek underneath, there are secret
pockets on the sides. Here we have the
illusion of a basic cloak but, with practicality
incorporated.
All cloaks have the option of a front-tie
closure at the neckline or a choice from
a variety of metal clasps. Availability
of clasps
does vary but if you see a style you like
then the chances are we can find something
very close if not the exact style. There
is a small cost increase when clasps are
required.
Thistlebees hats
are available in three styles in about
any color of your choosing. Net Attifett,
Box Attifett, Muslin Peasant cap and Crochetted
Snood. We hope to add more styles as time
goes on.
Soon to come we hope - hand crocheted
"ZOUAVE" jackets, circa 1862!
