This list is broken down into two sections. The first (Mainstream) is intended for new recruits and those shopping on a budget. These sutlers will provide quality items at lower prices. The second (High Quality) lists those sutlers who provide the most meticulously researched and crafted products for the reenactor seeking to improve their impression or purchase items that will serve them well over many years of reenacting. These sutlers charge higher prices, but the authenticity and quality are the best you can get.
