The Renaissance Tailor welcomes commissions... with the following caveats:

The Renaissance Tailor does not accept commission requests for fitted or fantasy/folklore garments of any kind. This includes but is not limited to: dresses, doublets, breeches, Easter Bunny costumes, Santa Claus costumes, any Science Fiction recreations, any Fantasy recreations, or any other similar item.

Please read the entirety of this page when considering requesting a commission. Most questions on what will and won't be accepted and how the commisison process works can be answered by this page.

Please send an email to TheTailor@renaissancetailor.com detailing what you would like, any photos of the item, and a timeline for delivery. The Renaissance Tailor will review the request and let you know if the commission is possible as well as giving a price quote for the item.

Once an agreement is reached, if the item being commissioned is fairly unique and not something that would sell easily, a 50% downpayment is required before any work is started.

When the item is almost finished, a series of photos will be taken and placed up on a webpage for your review. You may make small changes and/or accept the item as is. When the item is accepted, final payment is due and the item is shipped out when payment is made.

If the item does not meet with approval upon arrival, The Renaissance Tailor will accept it back and will make small changes to the item. It will then be shipped back. If the item still does not meet with approval, The Renaissance Tailor will refund the purchase price of the item minus any special costs incurred in the creation of the item. This includes but is not limited to any fabrics, materials or other notions. The item will then be listed in this store under "Special Items" and sold on a first-come-first serve basis.

Please Consider the Following -

The Renaissance Tailor specializes in Elizabethan and Cavalier accessories that require VERY LITTLE FITTING. The Renaissance Tailor WILL NOT accept the following for commission work:

Fitted Garments of Any Kind (Doublets, Gowns, Corsets, etc.)
Historically Inaccurate Items (Darth Vader Cloaks, Xena Bodices, etc.)
Fantasy Items (Angel/Butterfly Wings, Elf Caps, etc.)
