Below is a list of recommended suppliers that the Company Ecorcheur have confidence in recommending. These are companies we have been dealing with for a number of years, and most of them know the society. In most cases, they are honest, reliable, and able to advise on the authenticity of their items.
Use the Quick Links on the right to navigate quickly to the appropriate section, or simply browse the list.
Please note: We do not accept email requests for inclusion in this list. If we know you're good enough, you should already be on there. If you feel you should be in our recommended list, speak to us when you next see us! We are not interested in nylon tabards, rubber swords or SCA "RenFaires". Thanks.
