Linen Tapes & Silk Ribbons

Linen Tapes, Silk Bias Binding, and 100% Pure Silk Ribbons for Historical Reenactment Clothing

Linen tapes are essential for creating authentic historical clothing. Made from durable flax fiber, they provide strength and breathability. These tapes are perfect for historical costuming and reenactments. They help give your garments an accurate, period-specific finish.

Used from the medieval period to the 18th century, linen tapes had many purposes. They were used for binding edges, reinforcing seams, and creating apron ties. Linen ribbons also added decorative touches to doublets, gowns, and shirts.

Our linen bias binding is crafted from 100% natural flax fibers. It comes in a variety of widths. Choose from un-dyed or naturally dyed options. We use traditional plant-based dyes like madder and weld. The colors are rich and earthy, reflecting historical textiles.

We also offer 100% pure silk ribbons for finer detailing. Silk ribbons add elegance to historical garments. They are ideal for reenactors, museum professionals, and costume designers.

Whether you’re recreating a Tudor gown or restoring a 17th-century smock, our linen and silk tapes will bring historical accuracy to your work.
