Got me Napoleonic shoes in no time.

I recently purchased a pair of Napoleonic shoes from The Quarter Master Store's page on Etsy, being new to reenactment I was a bit worried (as you can imagine) the Quarter Masters Store really helped out with getting me a pair of shoes that fit and getting them here before my first event!
Absolutely fantastic, I can't recommend them highly enough, and will be purchasing from them again without any worries.
A big thumbs up from me.

Second item bought from Quartermaster Stores. I can’t thank them enough for their excellent customer service. It makes a nice change these days to have an email answered quickly when making an enquiry. The item arrived in tip top condition.
A quality item from a quality company!

The VERY HIGHEST QUALITY Bespoke Service is provided by Quartermaster Stores, and Mike in particular.

I am the Education Director of the Sealed Knot Ltd. and as such strive for the very highest standards of authenticity in any goods I purchase.

Mike at Quartermaster Stores is an artisan of the very highest quality, and spared no detail, cut no corners, and produced the very finest pair of bespoke 17th Century "court" shoes that I have ever seen. They were recently used at a high profile event.

I cannot express the joy of opening a box delivered to me, and smelling the wonderful vegitable tanned, natural leather coming from within, and feeling the FLAWLESS leather and wood used in the construction.

I would HIGHLY recommend Quartermaster Stores Ltd.

Fantastic experience

I'm a longstanding customer of QM Stores and have ordered numerous items over the years both bespoke and 'off the peg', and every time I have experienced a pleasant and helpful experience.
Item quality is very good with clear and punctual communication.
Most recently I purchased a pair of latchet shoes at the ARM market, which were comfortable and reasonably priced :)

17th century leather Snap Sack

I recently received my order from Quartermaster Stores. Definitely worth the wait. I ordered their 17th century leather Snap Sack. Completely satisfied. Product is all hand sewn with no mistakes and good quality leather. A perfect addition to my kit. Customer service was too-notch. They kept me informed all the way up to delivery.

Bronze Celtic Mirror

Purchased a bronze Celtic mirror during the recent sale, communication was prompt and concise, shipping was reasonably priced considering it was coming to Australia, and the parcel arrived incredibly fast, again, considering it was coming to Australia! The quality of this hand mirror has absolutely astonished me, and I’m glad I managed to purchase this mirror! Love you guys, love your work!

I was taking part in a historic riding display for an event last year but was short of a sword and a sling for my cartridge box. I only had a week until the event. The team here were amazing! Sorted my stuff out straight away for me. I sent pictures and it was made perfect. Correct size and I was very happy. I have bought from this company at A.R.M and will continue to do so.
Really happy with every purchase I have made.
If I could give you more than 5 stars I would.
Keep up the great work you guys do.

Mike at Quartermaster stores is kind, helpful, friendly, honest and hardworking. His small team do everything they can to supply their customers. Never had an issue with the service provided, never heard a bad thing said about the business from any reenactor who has dealt with Mike.

Our go-to for reenactment supplies.

Excellent as always- very happy repeat customer! A fantastic selection of historic replicas and clothing, all well researched and at sensible prices. Considering many products are crafted to order, delivery times are very reasonable. Great communication, helpful team, commissioning custom items is straightforward and the quality is always spot on. Heartily recommended.

Satisfied return customer

I have purchased uniforms and equipment from Mike for over 15 years and I have to say his service has been second to none.
Mike has helped research uniforms and badging to ensure its correct attention to detail is in my experience excellent.
Recently I placed a large order and Mike has been great.
I am have received items extremely quickly never had an issue.

Excellent quality and well researched historical items

Quartermaster Stores provide an excellent service with high quality items across many periods. Their knowledge and expertise means I trust them entirely when ordering what I need for my work as a public historian. They are friendly, helpful and professional. I highly recommend.

Customer service is excellent

Customer service is excellent, Amy in particular kept me informed from the time I placed my order, that as my order was to be hand made it would take a little while to make. This was fine with me and when my Baldric arrived it fit perfectly and the standard was second to none. I am new to re-enacting but shall be using this store again and look forward to visiting them at one of the many trade shows I have been advised they attend.

5* Quartermaster Stores!

Took 23 months to fail to deliver an item I ordered. Excuses included Covid, cash flow (you had my money), illness, moving house, no fabric to make my item. In the end it took an email giving 14 days notice to get my money refunded. Shame as the goods, if delivered are supposed to be good. Now I hear they have had a vehicle accident. Unfortunate and very unlucky traders.
Edit. The near fatal vehicle crash was in August 2023 so whilst unfortunate, totally irrelevant as it happened 2 months after my case was resolved.
2nd Edit
Is it a coincidence that Queen Latina decided to post a positive review about her experience with a Baldrick going back to October 2023 at the same time that you responded to my review?

We explained to Graham the reasons for delay and apologised for the delay which was out of our hands. We're also sincerely sorry that Graham felt let down.
We did indeed have a near fatal vehicle crash which was an experience to recover from.

Edit to respond to Grahams Question.
Now we are aware of this profile (Thank you for that btw) we are of course keen to encourage our happy customers to review. You can't fault us for wishing to improve our profile can you? So yes, there will be more positive reviews appearing and i'm sure there will be a variety of dates. Depending on when they purchased and/or received?
