    What Items would you like to see made?

    Hi All,

    I know I haven't been very active on the AC. ( I have been keeping my head down sewing and filling orders)

    I wanted to see, and ask What Items would you like to see me add to my catalogue as regular items?


    I look forward to reading what you have to say,


    All the very best

    How about the Federal enlisted frock coat? We need more sources for those, and I know that you can make a darn good frock coat, I've seen one.

      Don-

      Can you make an Enfield cartridge box/frog/scabbard/ball bag etc.? These seem to be a bit underrepresented in the hobby based upon my readings as of late.

      Thanks - Johnny

          I second that! Sources for quality frock coats are hard to find.

            Don,

            I've seen several examples of your products made of painted/enamalled cloth. I've been puzzled as to why you haven't offerred waterproof covers for military caps.

            How about painted silk/linen cap covers?

              Don,

              If I had a vote I would like to see some pre-war uniforms such as US Mexican War. That would fill a void for us out west!

                  I third the nomination for a CS tent fly! It wouldn't hurt to see NC depot jacket. There really aren't that many places that offer them.

                    Top quality US Mexican War jackets, pants and leathers get my vote!

                      Perhaps the single most under represented anything is CS tentage - and with lots of orders and references to so many tent fly's to so many soldiers, put me down for one.

                      In fact, nobody makes a US QM spec tent fly either!!!

                        I'm with the other guys. We need some more quality Federal frocks out there.

                          What about expanding your line of Horter, Magee and George accounterments? The belt I ordered from you a few months back is absolutely oustanding. Of course, some good pre-War Regular Army equipage would be nice, too. :D

                            I would also add that nobody is producing a Charleston Depot jacket. I'm kinda' surprised that Neil Rose (Mr. blue-grey kersey) hasn't said anything about that.

                              Sir,

                              I second that... Charleston "depot" jackets, which I have tried looking for a pattern... seem to not exist as repros... may we remedy this? I went to academy/college there and there seems to me a dearth of information about goods beng produced in this area during the period.
                              Heck, it's where the durn war started...?
