Couldn’t be more happy with my purchase! Looks even better in person and I was pleasantly surprised by the weight of the material. Definitely still light enough for summertime use, but not so thin that it feels cheap. Worth every penny!
This is my third sheepskin mantle, and first from FoTW. It's a nice piece, just the right size, good sale price, comfortable to wear, and arrived quickly and well-packaged. Yet I did order it specifically because it was advertised as "mixed" browns; my pelt is a virtually one-tone brown with little variegation, unlike the pic which shows some highlights. Not what I was expecting. Still, a decent piece and useable.
I’ve been wanting to order from this company for the last two years since I heard about them on a trip to New Zealand. On our Lord Of The Rings tour there were three Shieldmaidens that were wearing Folk Of The Wood cloaks, and everyone was jealous! I’ve been anxiously awaiting the time when I could place my order in anticipation of wearing it to my son‘s Hobbiton wedding. My mind was blown away by the beautiful craftsmanship of this deep forest green linen winter wolf trimmed cloak. Now I need to decide what hobbit dress to wear. I have several.
In the olden days fine wine - waterskins were essential at Ren Fest and rambles in the forest. They've grown quite rare in this the Fifth Age (who's counting), so it was pleasant to find exactly what I wanted in the fairy realm of Indiana. Leather is first-rate, fittings well done & in a choice of styles to fit your mood, and the very practical design of the spout is first-rate. Superb workwomanship, thank you Elves.
We traveled to New Zealand and last minute thought it would be cool to have cloaks. Folk of the Wood was one of the shops I found with one on hand and they were able to get it to me very quickly! They were very responsive and helpful.
The cloak is a lovely saturated green. The linen is very nice, it's lightweight enough that I can wear it in the summer, but also insulting enough to ward off the winds of Rohan! I love the length as well, very convenient. I also like how big the hood is. It's big enough that I can reasonably cover my whole face with it, but since it's linen I can still see. Makes for some fun effects!
I've already worn it 5+ times at different filming locations for LoTR. It wrinkles less easily than a lot of other linen I have and also de-wrinkles very easily. It's one of the only items I have that just needs to hang in the bathroom while I shower and most of the wrinkles will be gone by the time I'm done. A light misting and smoothing beforehand works wonders too, so no ironing required!
Just stunning pieces - so soft and luxurious, and great quality! Can't wait to wear them with my Vex'ahlia ♥
This belt is absolutely gorgeous. I was a bit worried about the sizing (I have a narrow waist and chest but I’ve had some issues with corset type pieces fitting before), but it fits very well and has adjustable lacing on the sides.
I bought this to wear to the ren faire but it could honestly go with all sorts of things in my day to day fashion.
This is my favorite best so far. It fits very well and looks amazing. I love the color, the quality and the fact that you lace it.
Hey folx, snap these up while you still can! They are fannnnntastic!
I haven't quite figured out how this is supposed to be worn yet, but the quality is stunning! The buckles and materials are strong and flexible to adapt to different body types. I'm very pleased!
I have large forearms and was nervous these may not fit me, but the leather strap used to tie them on is long enough to create the necessary space for my forearms, and the leather piece that keeps the tie from rubbing on your skin is extra wide so it, too, covers my arms! I can't wait to bust this out for ren fair next year!!
These are amazing, great, and wonderful. They are perfect! And so soft. They were clearly made and prepared with care. In fact, I ordered one and when I saw how great they were, I quickly ordered three more. Yes, we're dressing up the whole family for a Ren Fair this fall, and these fit the bill perfectly. They're great quality and look great. The service and shipping was also very quick. Absolutely would buy again and again!
First time ordering and will definitely purchase from you again. I couldn't be happier with the workmanship. Just phenomenal and everything I hoped for.
Beautiful, soft, and holds all the things I need for the wedding I'm attending and it goes wonderfully with the bohemian theme of the wedding. The leaves are beautifully shaped and hide the opening and tie point for the bag well, no matter how full. The strap is comfortable, has extra holes to be adjusted either way, and the buckle itself is really lovely. I'm excited to use it for even more occasions! 💙
I had been searching for the perfect viking cloak, and found it here. This cloak is exactly the color I was looking for and it’s made with quality materials. Not only that, the customer service is excellent, Lisa helped me with my order when I had questions and made sure that I got my cloak in time for a festival. Highly recommended!! Thank you Amy and Lisa, I absolutely love it!
I got the s/m timber wolf during the sale. I looooove these! I have the large winter wolf already. Everyone admires it. It’s hotter than the devil’s back patio right now, so come cooler weather I’ll be out and about in BOTH. Not at the same time. Maybe at the same time?
Finally upgraded my Ranger tunic to a leather one and I’m very ecstatic!
Packaging from this company is always top notch. The leather is of top quality and it fit my frame perfectly. This complemented my Ranger collar and shoulder set very well. Don’t hesitate to purchase one! These are super nice! Highly recommend!
The mask fits perfectly over my face and makes me look like a real ranger from The Lord of the Rings. I highly recommend Folk of the Wood if you want some authentic costumes or accessories for your next outing!
I've been slowly building a costume to fit early Renaissance era festivals, and for my Shakespearean theater type show set in a maritime environment. And this does both. Very ornate, heavy (which to me means quality), and mates well with their sword sheath hangers. I'm exceptionally pleased.
Amy. I received the mantle you sent me. Watching tv series Merlin. A Lord ride into Camelot wearing his mantle with his uniform. I said "Wow " I had to have a mantle for my Knights uniform. I bought the medium and it fits great as I am 5ft 6in and with broad shoulders. I purchased from FOTW because of the website info and the reviews. To me my knights outfit now looks next level and awesome. The mantle does warm your shoulders, It is soft to touch and it sits easily and comfortable to wear on my shoulders. It was boxed really well and the mantle was rapped in paper and tied with a string. It has a great personal touch to it. More than Happy with my purchase and I would highly recommend Amy and FOTW.
I ordered 4 garments (all linen and wool) and they came very well packaged and fit just like i thought they would! The time it was ordered was around 4/15 and was received on 5/9 so it took a little over 3 weeks just as they have stated. And the craftspersonship is quality! Sturdy yet light - Very well made. 5/5
Ordered the mantle for my wife's outfit. She loves it. Very well constructed and super soft.
