If there is anything you need that we don’t have , it’s because you haven’t asked us yet!

Welcome to Hightower Crafts. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary in costume or props, then take a look through these pages. For more than fifteen years now, we have been producing a wide range of clothing and accessories for live action role playing (LARP ) groups, historical re-enactments, and science fiction / Star Trek fans, as well as for stage & TV., and recently film. With this amount of experience under our belts, we like to think we can cope with most requests, however unusual.

In these pages, we have included our basic range of LRP costume &armour;, as well as some pictures of some of the more unusual things we have made.

If you are looking for anything special that is not included here, we would be happy to give you a free quote.

You can Email us here, or write to us at our snail-mail address - If you send us a stamped, self-addressed envelope we will send you a paper catalogue - You will find much more on this site than in the catalogue, but it’s something you can keep handy without having to log on
