Welcome! I introduce myself
to you as a professional full-time leather crafter,
working at my trade
since 1995. I create many styles of leather clothing, bags, and gear for
Medieval and Renaissance Faires as well as for historic re-enactors.
I have produced work for stage, film and television as well as for
corporate promotions, but my favorite work is to handcraft for the
individual, you, just the right pieces for your outfit.

Welcome to Our Website!
If this is your first time visiting us let us guide you through.
Below you will find pictures of some of what we offer. Just click
on the small image of the item to be taken to a page describing each piece
in detail, including sizing and price.
Toward the bottom of this page you will find our policies, payment options
and our contact information. There is also a link to our order form!
A few items may be in stock but most all pieces are made to order,
mostly due to the variations in color, style and size possible with each
piece.

WHAT?!?! Jekyl's left the
Faire?!?!?
Yes, you may have looked for us and found it's true,
but after
many great years at the PA Renaissance Faire we have taken our leave
from friends and Faire family.
13 years of the road has wearied us, so we have switched to being
primarily suppliers to other fine shops.
We will be frequently seen there still, to visit and to finally
enjoy all the shows we've missed all these years.
We will of course be here on the web and at some small events and
one-weekend faires, so keep a watchful eye... |

Please take a moment to read my shipping, payment and return
policies.
When you are ready to order Contact
me by E-mail or by Phone or use my
Order Form
to submit your order.
I feel every piece I produce represents me as a craftsman.
So if any of your purchases are defective in manufacture I will replace them.
If any piece is not what you had anticipated I will give a refund upon return
of the item. If you're not satisfied I'm not satisfied...
Exchanges for size and color may also be made -- nobody should be stuck with
a piece that is not right for them. However, in ALL cases, used, damaged,
or altered goods will not be accepted for return, and that determination
is always at my discretion. Refunds will not include shipping, and you must
pay the shipping on exchanges, unless, of course, the error is mine.
Most orders will be sent out via Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation.
I cannot be responsible for merchandise after it is confirmed delivered.
As every piece is hand cut and crafted, items may differ slightly from the
photos. Customizations may alter the price of an item, and custom work may
not be returnable.
I like to give very rapid turn around on orders, but events do conspire at
times. Custom work will take longest, due to layout and design needs.
Payment Options
(in order of fastest to slowest):
-
E-mail* or Phone me credit card info. I take Visa and Master Card only.
Please note I do NOT use PayPal at this time.
Phone the info to me at 610-489-3234 and leave a message on the machine. Only I have
access to the machine. If you do either I need ALL information from the card,
EXACTLY as it appears on the card. This gets the piece mailed as soon as
it is done. PLEASE do not leave ORDERS on the phone -- E-mail them so I can print
them and put them on my work list. * My E-mail is NOT
secure, so if you choose to e-mail me credit card info it is at your own risk I
recommend you phone it in, instead. Please still send me an e-mail with the item information
and your shipping information.
-
Snail Mail me the Credit Card Info, with the above information, plus
a signature. This gets the items mailed once they are completed and I receive and process the
charge.
-
Snail Mail me a Money Order. This gets items mailed once completed
and the MO is
deposited.
-
Snail Mail me a Personal Check. This gets items mailed once
completed and once the check
has cleared.
-
IN ALL CASES PLEASE remember to include your shipping information.
Let me know which method you will be using so I know what
to expect...
Shipping is almost always done via Priority Mail with the
post office. If an order gets quite large or bulky I may use UPS. The minimum
shipping charge is $6, and covers most single items or multiple smaller items.
I calculate shipping for each order and can tell you the amount once the
order is placed.
If you are ready to order, go to
Jekyl's Order Form, or contact me using

* Many folks have asked why there are no samples posted so you can
compare colors.
The reason is that digital translation of colors, along
with your random browser and monitor settings will likely render
colors
far from the actual tones of the leathers, making samples very
misleading....
