The first question most people ask me is "Who are you and what are you doing in my bushes?"

This is usually followed by "How did you get the sheep to dance the Flamenco?"

Then they want to know, what is Dreck?

DRECK (drek)-noun : slang : trash, especially inferior merchandise
ETYMOLOGY: German, dirt, trash :Yiddish 'drek', excrement, both from Middle High German 'drec'

Hamish's Dreck was hammered into existence in 2001 following a Buttershots bender and a desire to do something useful with a pile of leather that had sat in my closet for two years. When I first began doing SCA and renfaires I only had a drawstring cloth pouch to hold things in that was very annoying to get things out of. I searched for several years for a decent leather pouch that wouldn't break the bank with little luck.
And so, I decided to see if I could make something that was functional, roomy, and held up well to running around in funny clothes a lot. I debuted my creations in September of 2001, with low prices and low expectations. But it seems they hold up pretty well. And so, the pile of leather in my closet became a room full of odd lots and finds that I cobble together into hopefully fairly useful items for re-enactors, Vikings, pirates and lowbrows of all types to enjoy. Some of it is really good, some is fair middlin', and some is perfect for anyone with a Mongolian persona.
So take a look around, and feel free to email any questions you may have. I try to keep my quality up, and prices as low as I can. I think you will find this is a good place to get the basic garb accessories for a reasonable price, especially for newcomers. Plus a few extras, and don't forget to check out the custom orders page for ideas.
