5 out of 5 starsThis is a beautiful blue color. Not real bright, just a deep Royal Blue. I am so happy with the color and fit. The shipping went quickly and the communication with Heather and Jeff was very helpful.
Thank you! -

5 out of 5 starsI spent months looking for a cloak like this, and I’m thrilled with it. The cloak is top quality all around, from the material to the workmanship.

4 out of 5 starsThis is a very nice double cape. Seems to be well made. My only problem is that I ordered charcoal but was sent black, instead. Other than the wrong color this is a very nice cape.

4 out of 5 starsThe Cloak is good and the comunication with the seller was brilliant and also the expedition was quicly. Nothing to say about that. The only problem is that If you are in the UK and you have to decide to buy it, you have to consider the fact that it comes from US. So there are import taxes to pay that I didn't consider and I payed 76.50£. So in the end I thounght that I spent too much on this item, because I didn't consider that in addition to the 80£ of expedition I had to consider also the import taxes. So in the end 156.5£. If you consider also this expense that you have to pay for all items you buy overseas out of EU, you can take a more accurate decision without last minutes surprises as happened to me.

Our photography is enhanced by the natural beauty of Maine. We're lucky to live in such a lovely place.
Chrononaut Mercantile
We have always been passionate about creating quality work, so that everything we make in our studio will be one of your favorite items for many years to come. Our friends who are kind enough to model for us and test everything that we create. If they look and feel awesome, we know we're on the right track. Everything we sell is either a vintage piece that we've fallen in love with or a unique piece which is designed and made by us in our studio in Maine. Just Heather and Jeff, from the designing all the way through each bit of the making.
The exploration of our imaginations has transported us from our home base in Portland, Maine, where beauty and gritty realism walk hand in hand, to fairy lands where magic and mystery dwell; the Middle Ages where chivalry and rivalry rule; pirate ships where daring and intrigue prevail; and the steam-filled world of the 19th century. Who knows where our path will lead us next?
