Get to know the types of horses that were common in the Middle Ages--like palfrey, jennet, and dray--what they were used for, the innovative technology that made horses so important to war and agriculture, and the kinds of people who worked with horses. This is a great article to read to your children and it has lots of pictures.

Renstore celebrates its 22nd birthday in 2013!
We have been active in the Renaissance business for more than 20 years. We began as Chivalry Sports Videos in October of 1991. All we had to sell then was just one video about the SCA called "Once Upon a Weekend" on VHS. No one had even heard of the Internet then, so we published a small catalog. That led to selling videos for Belly Dance instruction and audio tapes of filk music and a few other things. In a short time we added a few articles of clothing, belly dance jewelry, and books. Four years later we created the first online catalog for Medieval and Renaissance Clothing on AOL. In fact we were one of the first clothing stores of any kind on the internet. When we moved from AOL to our own domain, we changed the name of the online store from Chivalry Sports to Renstore.com because it was easier to spell. In 2009, we redisigned our webstore and moved to more secure cloud computing. Now we are stronger and faster than ever.

Most clothing can be shipped in less than a week, even if it is out of stock when you order. Our promise to you is that we sell only the most durable, well-made Renaisance costumes in the business and we stand behind everything we sell with a 30-day moneyback guarantee and friendly customer service. You have thirty days to make a return for any reason for a refund of the purchase price or store credit, your choice. If you making a return for a problem with workmanship, we will also refund the shipping, to and from! Call for authorization first, please. Thank you for 20 great years!
We carry a full line of Medieval Miscellenea costume patterns. If you are not familiar with this brand, each pattern comes with 5 to 10 variations on the theme and all sizes from 6 to 20. There are also extensive notes showing pictures of the historical garments that each pattern was based on with all documentation necessary to warm the cockles of a costume nazi's heart. The price is higher than a Simplicity pattern because you get so much more. When I use my Medieval Miscellenea patterns I never cut them up. I trace the size and variation I want to use on to tracing paper (large rolls are available from Michael's), make any alterations I might desire, and then I cut that up to make my pattern.

Crowns and Tiaras!
We now carry a full selection of crowns and other hair jewelry from little bun baskets to full sized regal crowns. There are delicate elven circlets, priestess diadems, celtic tiaras, and plain circlets. See all the Crowns and Tiaras here.
Armor is in stock!
We have armor for sale right now. Helmets, gorgets, elbow and knee cops, gauntlets, and shield baskets, and more coming soon. All of our armor is made of mild steel and comes unstrapped and unpadded. All of it is SCA legal after it has been strapped and padded to your kingdom's standards. Please consult with your local marshallate for instructions and specs. Fighting in armor is inherantly dangerous and armor can not protect against all blows. Make sure that you have proper training and consult a doctor before engaging in Armored Combat or any full-contact sport. See all the Armor here.
