About Us

The West Virginian Sutler is a family company that was established to meet the needs of the Civil War era re-enactor. We have done many years of research in order to bring you the most authentic reproduction clothing and to meet the needs of the modern re-enactor.

We began in 2002 with drafting patterns, researching the era and attending reenactments so that we could provide what the consumer wanted. We attended our first reenactment as a company in the spring of 2005 and thanks to our show and internet sales we currently have products in 27 states and counting.
Among our clients is the Olmsted Historical Society who maintains the Frostville Museum in Olmsted Falls, Ohio. There are two dresses featured in the Carpenter House that are in the 1830's style so as to match the style of the original owner.
We make everything as period correct as possible and often look to the fashion plates of the era for inspiration.

We strive to be as authentic as possible so we may meet your needs as best we can.
Everything is handmade by skillful crafters in the U.S.A.

Our staff has over ten years of experience in civil war reenactments

Our head seamstress has over forty years of experience in sewing, designing and alterations.

All pieces are period accurate.

This is family business and we currently have both parents, four adult siblings and six out of eleven grandchildren working in at least one section of the company. Everything we sell is handmade by one of the family members.

The West Virginian Sutler is designed for period clothing and accessories. We are most familiar, but do not work exclusively with the Civil War period. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to e-mail us so that we may better serve you. Our website is always changing so be sure to check back often to see what's new!
