An Outerwear Legacy
Half Moon Travel Clothing was conjured in 1982 by two partners. One was a traveling crafter who created clothing from wool blankets for protection from the elements. The other studied business, and had a vision for a sustainable, quality-driven outerwear collection. Half Moon gained notoriety for quality heavy wool garments and traveled across the country for years attending festivals and art markets. for Renaissance Faire goers, LARPers, outdoor explorers and fantasy travelers alike
Today, nearly 45 years later, the operation is still in the family and our products can be found at the annual New York and Maryland Renaissance Festivals and online, with seasonal collections and the option to custom order from our line of capes, cloaks, coats, and cowl hoods.

Our PracticesÂ
Our mission of beautifully crafted, made-to-last outerwear comes from our belief in sustainability and local artisanship. At Half Moon, we are striving toward zero waste from both a manufacturing and customer perspective.Â
Every garment is designed, cut, and sewn by our small team in Colorado. We source our materials as close to home and sustainably as possible, and take pride in our ethos of durability and functionality. We believe that when you buy better, you buy less. And we donate all scraps from production to local crafters and art programs.
Our manufacturing practice gives us more control over the quality of our products, and ensures that every piece is made consciously and ethically. And, of course, we get to test products in real time in our mountain and desert surroundings!
