Don,

While I have it in mind...how about a CORRECT 1833 enlisted fatigue cap(I know there is not much demand for this cap...but one would sure be kewl)! And great about working with Steve Abolt. I doubt he remembers me from my Mexican War days..but I sure remember his great rendition of E. A. Poe's "Eldorado" and "The Raven" at Bents Old Fort about 20 years ago! Those were the days.....

Re: What Items would you like to see made?

Don, One thing that is not authentically reproduced hardly at all is a Carbine Sling. I know of no vendor besides Doug Kidd that has it in a catalog and there are only a few others that make them custom that I know of.

Hi Dan,

Actually......I am making these. I have two currently orderd by a couple of fellows.

I am offering Carbine slings complete with swivel for $100 (I can also get original swivels as well on these for an extra $100)


I make the following Carbine Slings:

Pre War in Whaite Buff,

Pre War Blackend Buff

Early War Wax Flesh

Early War type Balck Bridal Leather

Mid Late War Riveted & Sewn Wax Flesh

Mid Late War Riveted & Sewn Bridal Leather



All the best

Hi Preston,

Man I need to read more carefully. I apologize. For some reason or another I was thinking "Volunteer jacket" and not SA Jacket

It is a great suggestion. I will look into making these, as I do make these for folks custom SA & St Louis Mounted jackets.

Sorry about the mix up

How about quality knit federal undershirts? They constituted over 60% of issued shirt and yet virtually no one (aside from Joe H) is producing them.

I got one for you Don - civilian and/or military pattern CS overcoats.

Re: What Items would you like to see made?

Don, one more I thought of. Now that Daley is no longer offering mounted pattern trousers, the list of vendors making them is VERY short.
