Still looking, folks!
Gents,
I'm currently in the market for a quality reproduction import knapsack - either English or French - and would prefer to buy used before I go to the source and buy one from a quality maker....
Alternatively, if you're handy with a needle (or a tight-wad, like myself) here's a pair of great pages chock-full of good information regarding all the ins-and-outs of the deceptively simple...
I think that all depends on the size of the hat in question and the size of the head that's supposed to fit on. I generally wouldn't want to stretch a cap more than about 1/8th of an inch before I...
Bump for the weekend crew. . .
Folks, I'm in the market for an 1858 forage cap of quality make, ideally used with no particular preference to which model (Type I or II), only that it must fit my 23 1/2" noggin. I'm trying to avoid...
A big question regarding hickory cloth that I can't seem to answer is whether or not the early 20th century hickory cloth is an appropriate weave for that used during the mid-19th century.
Hey Chris, I found the page with my unit, but realized that I am listed as "Caleb Mikker"; will I run into any problems at check-in for the event with this?
Try the Federal City Brass Band/26th North Carolina Regimental Band. They really know how to work the brass.

I wear a Bender hat while working in the garden, and use a Federal fatigue blouse for yard work in the cooler months. I also own a pair of Robert Land's "Workman's boots" that see casual use daily,...
Do I have any takers at $90 shipped?
How about a bump!
Bump for the weekend crew.
How about a price drop. Anyone at $100 shipped?
Harmless little bump.
Gents, I have for your consideration a Federal fatigue blouse constructed by Joe Blunt. I bought this used, and have only worn it twice in the field. This coat is in fantastic shape and has had a...
Jacket is SOLD! Mods, do your thing. . .
Wee-oah, that was fast! Jacket currently on hold.
Gents, I have for your consideration a very well constructed short jacket made by the able and skillful hands of Andrew Kasmar. It is a style he dubs the "Tennessee Militia Jacket." Double-breasted...
Ross, I'm not necessarily discounting Dirty Billy as a quality maker, I just have a bad taste in my mouth from the last slouch I owned made by him. Overall, the felt had been poorly-dyed, and...
Bump for the lunch crowd!
I'm here looking for a heavily used civilian hat, preferably in pecan or black color, of a quality maker (no Dirty Billy, please), size 7 ½ (23 ½”). Would prefer a taller style, like Bender's Arabia...
Little bump to the top.
Because I'm tired of dealing with the p-o-s hat I bought from Dirty Billy a few years back, I'm in the market for a well-made civilian slouch, size 7 1/2 (23 1/2"). No solid preference of style or...
Gents, I would love to get my hands on a Bender Hardee, size 7 1/2 (23 1/2"). I would prefer an unaltered appearance, but would consider otherwise. I reason I would try to find one used before going...
