I like the durability of your products. They can stand the punishment on the combat field, yet remain regal and reflect all the finesse of the period I'm portraying. To me, a lot of the event is feeling and looking good, especially in my rapier fighting--whether I win or lose, I look good doing it in my Gypsy Peddler rapier garb. *Diego Vasco de la Vega - Palatine Baron, Barony of the Far West, West Kingdom

Sometimes it's hard to find the time in my busy schedule to put a rapier kit together. That's where Gypsy Peddler comes in. You have great selection and customer service! I always wear my full Gypsy Peddler ensemble to all my events and demos. Thank you for putting quality, time, and effort in your products. Knowing they are guaranteed to pass the first punch test is also a peace of mind that what I'm stepping out in is also made to meet SCA rapier safety standards. *Diego Vasco de la Vega

Just thought I'd write to say a huge thanks, looking so spiffy it's unbelievable. The doublet fits perfectly and I can move so much better now that I've added some suspenders to the slops. I've added some pictures for you, if you want to use them please feel free. Thanks so much once again, next year I'm going to keep you busy for a while. *Gyles MacLean

You guys are simply amazing! I am beyond pleased! Superb fit and craftsmanship! I look forward to working with you again! Thank you sooooo very much! *Cullen Glasper-Crowell AKA Ambrose Dudley, 3rd Earl of Warwick, Escondido Renaissance Faire, CA

*Barry Klohr AKA Steffan von Musbach of Atlantia

This shows me wearing your velvet flat cap with gold beads, which I paired with one of your metallic net snoods. With this ensemble I also wore the matching pouch as well as a large ostrich feather fan and girdle mirror both by you as well. I think the right accessories go a long way to finish an ensemble and yours certainly did the trick! *Nicole Hunsche

Gorgeous Garb! People were snapping pictures of me left and right at the last event. Everyone in Dragonship Haven swears by the quality of your work! You're a very nice lady and I found that to be so 3 years in a row OR I never would have spent that kind of money with you. Yes, your sewing, choice of fabric, etc. is excellent also; however, I purchased from you because of you..your kindness and patience and how you never pushed for a sale! *Lady Aleezabet Ravenna, East Kingdom (Debbi Guzzi, CT)

Most clothing merchants have either fighter garb or court garb. I have found that Gipsy Peddler (A Division of Palace Gallery) has been able to put together wonderful, sturdy fighter garb that is fancy enough for the highest court and where I have had to replace many fighter pants and shirts from other merchants, I have had no problems with Gipsy Peddler's garb in the 4 years I have worn them and have not had to replace anything! *Lord Athalwolf Ironhand, Atlantia (Tom Ashley, MD)

I'm still bouncing over the outfit. It truly is outstanding. Naturally, I'm showing it off to my friends and they are jealous. *Basia of East Kingdom

* LACED FELT TRICORNS * SPECTACULAR !! I wasn't sure what to expect, perhaps a thin felt with not much body but was pleasantly surprised to find it is Amazing quality, thick, sturdy felt and very well made. I have gotten loads of compliments. Would definitely buy again. * Connie Conley, WA...This is exactly what I wanted and even better quality than I expected! I would definitely order from again! *Lissa McCarthy, TX... What a great product from a great seller. *William Turek, CA

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the doublet and shirt you made for me. They both fit amazingly well and I was nearly speechless with joy the first time I saw myself in them. I am now the best-dressed corpse on the rapier field. I never fail to recommend ou to evryone that shows an interest in rapier here. If someone want the best, it's GIPSY PEDDLER all the way! - *Corbin de la Rue, Meridies (John Wagner)

*Travis Hutchens, Alaska

As Storvik's Baronial Rapier Champion, I have had the pleasure of using a cloak made by the Gipsy Peddler. I didn't think of using one before, but when I step down from my appointment, I will definitely order one for myself! - *Lord Athalwolf Ironhand, Atlantia (Tom Ashley, MD)

Thanks again for the great garb. Everyone goes out of their way to compliment me on it, and of course, I always point them in your direction when they do. *Corbin de la Rue, Meridies (John Wagner)

Your stuff is so consistently good that we're both ready to sing your praises at the drop of a hat, and despite the swarms of very talented garb/armouring types up here, for some reason we always manage to settle down with your catalogue and covet wildly. *Lord Gavin MacAidan, Ealdoremere (Gavin Lusk, Ontario)

I am an unreservedly enthusiastic supporter of Gipsy Peddler. They have always stood behind their wares, providing a very high level of service, professionalism and customer satisfaction. Over the years, I have recommended GP to numerous new fencers for their armor and have never had to regret doing so. It's so much more fun to best your opponent when you look good doing it! With Warmest Regards. - *THL Edmund Cavendish, Meridies (Steve Heydel, TN)
