ON SALE at Cedar Creek VA Reenactment!   Buy the matching Hood and save even more!

Picture






















Warm and practical garment brought over from the Europe was the sontag (also called the "Bosom Buddy"). Our lovely knitted
basket pattern will keep your vitals toasty warm keeping your body temperature warm and yet allows arm movement during your busiest of times. Nicer than wearing a shawl that slips off easily when trying to accomplish tasks. For extreme cold weather, this can be worn as a vest under your cloak.  Once you wear a warm sontag, you will never want to take it off.  We have lovely matching hoods (photo coming soon! ) These are on sale for a limited time ( A great Mother's Day gift!)
