Although fuel prices are driving the cost of everything through the roof, we understand that
re-enactment clothing is a luxury and not a necessity. Therefore, we are trying to
hold our most of our prices at last years rate. We still refuse to take short cuts (such as not
prewashing and drying our fabric) which we believe would compromise our quality, so we have only increased
prices on some of the most labor intensive products. We believe our prices are fair and that the quality of
our products is well above the industry standards.
About Us
Ft. Downing Trading Co. is a home based historical clothing business for men and women. We do
our own sewing using authentic patterns of 18th Century life, with special
emphasis to the French & Indian War and the Revolutionary War time periods.
We take great pride in our work and take extra steps to assure that we turn out a quality
garment. Our fabrics are selected to reflect period-correct styles and colors, and ALL
fabrics are prewashed and dryed using the hottest settings possible. This insures
you that your garment will not shrink the first time you laundry it. We double and triple
stitch the stress points on all of our clothing.
Although we do maintain a basic stock supply, each order is handled individually.
When you place an order with us, we attempt to customize it to your own specific needs
and measurements. The care we take with your garment makes each piece a one-of-a-kind article. The time it takes to complete your order depends
on the complexity of the garment and our backlog of orders.
Our goal is a satisfied customer. So, if you are not completely satisfied with the quality or fit, we
want to know, and you may return it if not soiled or damaged for a replacement or a full refund.
MAY WE SEW FOR YOU? Thanks for visiting our website.
