GARMENT INFORMATION
On this page you will find information about our garments, including how to order, sizing, available fabric and colors, buttons, tabs, hood tassels, and pockets. For custom design information, see our Gallery. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Ordering
Half Moon garments may be ordered via this website (click here to shop), via Facebook, Instagram, or by emailing us: [email protected]
Since all of our garments are handcrafted, there is generally a wait time of 6-8 weeks after ordering for delivery of Made to Order items (1-2 weeks for Ready To Wear pieces). If you need it sooner, we can certainly make arrangements on a case-by-case basis.
Sizing
Half Moon garments are designed to fit loosely to assure freedom of movement and allow for ample layering beneath. All styles are unisex.
Most of our coats and jackets come in three standard sizes—specifics are listed on garment pages. Capes, cloaks and ponchos come in two lengths each, and both lengths fit most. Finished garment lengths are measured from the nape of the neck to the hem.
If you believe that you need custom sizing, or want to be sure of the right fit, please send us the following measurements:
- A to A: Wrist to wrist across your back.
- B to B: Shoulder to shoulder across your back.
- B to A: Shoulder to wrist.
- C to D: Nape of neck to waist, down the back.
- C: Neck size.
- D: Waist
- E: Bust/Chest
- F: Hips
- G: Upper Arm
- H: Forearm
- I: Thigh Girth
- J: Inseam
- K: Belt to Floor.
Be sure to measure the largest part of the hips, chest and waist so we can assure you the perfect fit!

Fabric & Colors
Most of our garments are constructed of thick, durable 80/20 wool/nylon blends, as well as 100% wool fabrics. All are sewn with a heavy nylon upholstery thread—made to last!
Available fabric colors include the following:
Heavyweight 85/15 wool blend: grey, khaki/olive, brown, maroon, and navy
Mediumweight 80/20 wool blend: navy, grey, black
Lightweight 100% wool: black, brown, green, blue, grey, white, purple, aqua, mint, royal blue, denim, heather, rose, rust, gold, tan
Linen: black, grey, brown, green, olive, eggshell, white
Velvet: black, white, silver, green, blue, red, purple
Fleece: Black, brown, green, maroon, navy
Please inquire about availability before ordering—it is difficult to find good wool and we can never guarantee a particular color/weight will be in stock.
Buttons & Clasps
Our tagua nut “vegetable ivory” buttons come standard with every garment, and are available in many colors. Coconut and wood buttons are also available for no extra charge.
We have limited quantities of horn, bone, antler, pewter, metal, and glass buttons available for extra charge (typically $5 apiece, except for antler rosettes, which are $15-$30, and antler tips, which are $10).
We also carry gem-inlaid antler buttons for $45 apiece as well as cloak clasps from various artisans on Etsy (please inquire for more info and photos of these).
If you have buttons you’d like to use on a custom Half Moon piece or see some in another shop that you would like us to order and use, great! We’re happy to do so.

Tabs
Leather tabs with a loop closure are most of our garments’ standard closures (several garments come with button holes instead). Pictured are standard tab designs. As leather colors tend to vary widely, we try to match your garment colors as closely as we can unless you specify that you would like a particular color.
Inlaid tabs come standard on Open Front Capes and on all Cloaks; on other garments they are an extra $10 per set. For inlaid styles, be sure to specify both the tab and border colors, otherwise we will choose for you.
Inlaid Tabs: (2 colored tabs, left): Crown, Horn, Moon, Arrow.
Regular Tabs: (left to right, top to bottom) Moon, Fleur de Lis, Arrow, Wing, Horn, Standard
We will happily add extra sets of closures (leather tab and buttons) on any garment for $12 apiece (plus the cost of any specialized buttons).
We can also create custom-shaped tabs for $15/set. In the past we’ve done oak leaves, dragon wings, wolf heads, stars, and many others!

Hood Tassels
We offer decorations for our hoods in several different styles.
Leather hood tassels are strips of leather cut into a fringe, and are $15.
Beaded hood tassels are a string of beads with a specialty bead or pendant at the end, and start at $30.
Both types can either be sold separately or combined (starting at $45). We can either sew them into the hood or safety pin them in so you can remove them when you like.
Unless otherwise specified, we will match the colors to the garment ordered. We have plenty of options for beads and colors and are happy to work with you to get the perfect combination!
