Mage, wizard and sorcerer LARP outfit sets for the spellcaster, battle mage, enchanter, woodland wizard and dark caster character builds. From Chow's Spellcaster, Battle Mage Light, Winter Enchanter, Forest Guardian and Apprentice ranges, designed since 1994. Browse the full range below.
Play a wizard, mage or sorcerer and the robe is the costume
Pull a mage look apart and one piece carries it: the full-length layer that runs shoulder to ankle. Everything else is supporting cast. Chow has been designing this kind of costume since 1994, and the Chows Emporium range covers four fabric weights for four character moods.
Herringbone wool: the scholar and councillor build
Herringbone wool is the base of the scholar, councillor and learned-mage character. The Apprentice is the foundation piece, full-length unisex with hidden pockets, worn open or belted. The Winter Enchanter Set builds out from there with a two-tone jacket-tunic and a quartz necklace, taking the look toward a more senior mage with rank.
Two-tone wool blend: the Battle Mage build
The Battle Mage Light Set is the combat-ready end of the range. A hooded mid-length wool-blend outer with metal clasps, a two-tone cotton-linen layer underneath, a woollen wrap with metal accessories. The four-piece version adds an ornate faux fur and faux leather hood with matching vambraces from LARP Leather Armour, both fleece-lined. This is the build for mages who fight, who carry weapons, who need the silhouette to read across a battlefield.
Cotton and textured wool: the Spellcaster and Forest Guardian
The Spellcaster Set is the lighter option, with a hooded sleeveless outer in textured wool-mix over a collarless cotton layer and a multi-pattern cotton wrap. Easy to layer over base pieces or armour from LARP Coats & Waistcoats. The Forest Guardian Set goes denser: a high-collar green wool-blend outer, a sage-pattern wool wrap-around piece from LARP Hoods & Mantles, ornate faux leather forearm guards with a dagger loop, and an Aztec-pattern wrap. Both reach beyond pure wizard into cleric, herbalist, alchemist, priest, paladin and shaman builds.
One piece, many characters
A wizard at Empire is an enchanter at Drachenfest, a cleric at Curious Pastimes, a shaman at Bicolline. The Chow design carries through every system. The lighter base pieces are part of the LARP Tunics & Viking Shirts collection. All Chows Emporium products are one size, with measurements on each individual product page if you have a question about measurements before ordering.
Worn at Drachenfest, ConQuest of Mythodea, Bicolline, Empire and Curious Pastimes.
Frequently asked questions
How many pieces come in a mage outfit set?
It depends on the set. Some builds are simpler, others come in three-piece and four-piece versions. The Battle Mage Light Set, for example, has a four-piece version that adds a faux fur and faux leather hood with matching vambraces over the base build. Each product page lists exactly what is included, so check the piece count before you order.
Which set suits my character?
Spellcaster and Apprentice builds suit classic robed casters and students of magic. Battle Mage Light suits mages who fight and need to move. Winter Enchanter suits colder, heavier layered looks. Forest Guardian suits woodland and druidic wizards. Each product page names the character the build is aimed at, so you can match the set to your concept.
Can you move and fight in these sets?
Some are built for it. The Battle Mage Light Set is the combat-ready end of the range, cut to move and layer over kit. Fuller robes and heavier layers suit casters who hold the back line rather than skirmish. The product page tells you how each build is meant to be worn.
