Thanks for the excellent caligae, they are beautiful, and very solidly made.  I feel like putting them on and going off to conquer an empire or two!! 
Very best wishes, Graham

If you would like us to make an item for you, please supply us with a good quality photograph or drawing and outline your specifications.  We will endeavour to create a tailor-made item for you and we strive for complete authenticity.  Please note that there is a 3+month wait on our order books for larger items such as armour, although we will try and squeeze in urgent repairs and/through our rapid repair service.
