Black Swan Designs

Owner Gwen Nowrick personally researches each of our clothing reproductions. She examines extant garments in museums, and corresponds with curators around the world gathering information about items in their collections. Each reproduction garment is based on this painstaking research, and the designs have been field tested by reenactors worldwide for fit and longevity. Our garments are professionally sewn by our hand-picked team of seamstresses who take pride in their work. Nothing leaves our shop until it has been carefully inspected.


Historic Arms & Armour™
Established in 1987, is owned and operated by master armourer Jeffrey Hedgecock.
