Quote from: Cilléne mac Conghalaigh
Greetings one and all! After a brief hiatus to re-organize and freshen up a bit we’re open for production again! Banner, gonfalon, pennon and other item slots are open.



Some of you may have seen some examples of the gonfalons I produce on this site before. They are double paneled heavy canvas, machine stitched. They are weather and fire resistant and perfect for hard outdoor use. They will not fade. I can produce any design you wish. They come with a sturdy wooden hanging rod and cord. Other customization is of course available. Guaranteed to last for years. Prices range from $90 on up dependent on the complexity of artwork. Quick turn around time and timely communication guaranteed as well.
Below are some of the reviews we have received here on the Archive:

Heh, the link takes you to a reply form, not the actual message.

I sent him a note, we'll see if he still has a slot open.

You know after you posted that picture, my wife has been asking me why don't I
get a banner! I guess she's tired of looking at my green tinted skin!  :D

So I guess I'll be ordering one for myself after the MDRF.  ;)

Yes, it's totally worth it! As with anything hand-made, there are minor flaws. The edges on the charges are clearly hand-done if you look closely, etc. But this makes it more real to me in a way. It gives it character!  And get back a few feet, and you can't see the flaws anyway.

I'm extremely pleased with how it turned out, and I think you won't be disappointed either. :)

Now we'll just need to get some squires or serfs to carry our banners at faire. :)

I usually have squire try outs at the faire but so many of the candidates balk at the "follow me around the faire carrying my great helm" test!  :D

Yes, and now they'd need to carry the helm in one hand, and the banner in the other!

He mentions that the prices start at $90. The complexity of mine made it $180.

Well after getting new floors in the house I'll have to risk the Christmas rush and wait a bit!  ;)

Well I’ve finally got around to ordering my gonfalon from Dirk & Arrow. Here is a photo of the almost finished product!

How much are they? Now that I am registering my heraldry with the SCA I will want one :)

Mine was $165 which is pretty reasonable! :)
