Before I got ahead and order up cloth to start one anew does anyone have a reproduction based off the 3rd Alabama Gilmore Jacket that they would be willing to part with? Thanks

I have a 3rd Alabama shell jacket with AVC buttons. I confess that I am not sure just what the Gilmore jacket is, but I can advise you how alter a comutation for a modest cost. I have pix of the jacket. Send me a private message and I will send you pix. I was formerly company commander of the Mobile Cadets.

Mr Kirk did not have one for sale. Ask around! Size 42/44, id even consider larger and just take it in. Maybe even smaller

There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things. - Niccoló Machiavelli, The Prince. 1537.
