Our customer appreciation give away contest was so popular at Pennsic last year we decided to make a new annual tradition! Our contest winner wasJohn Harper of Maryland. John came into the booth in a sharp, 16thcentury doublet that his lady had made for him, certain that there must be a mistake because, “I never win anything”.We quickly proved him wrong and our staff soon had that fine Elizabethan fellow taking a walking on the medieval side! John couldn’t believe how sharp he looked in his gold linen cotte, red chausses and red hood and as we saw him later in the day happily accoutering himself with garters and pilgrim’s badges from some of the other Pennsic merchants, we felt pretty certain that the 14thcentury reenactor scene may have just gained a new devotee! John is posing here with Revival Clothing owner/designer Nicole Allen.
