Folks,
As promised, here is a list of what we have left from the big sale at Outpost. The bargains were flying off our blankets but there is PLENTY left and as always, shipping is included in the price! All items are BRAND NEW unless otherwise noted.
Garments
CS Frock, size 48 made from Ben Tart logwood dyed jean. The body has faded, but the skirt has not yet, but both are from the same bolt of fabric and will fade to the same color in a weekend's use. Wooden dish buttons. $325.00
CS Frock size 42 made from Ben Tart cadet gray jean. This is the special jean Ben did a limited run of a few years back that featured a seven step dye process. The coat is lined in original osnaberg from grain sacks. It is based off the coat worn by the dead CS "sharpshooter" pictured in the famous Gettysburg Devil's Den pictures. It features a large patch pocket on the chest, a six button front, and large "elephant eye" buttonholes. The coat has top quality cast pewter "I" buttons. This is the coat I made for myself for Outpost but unfortunately did not have an opportunity to wear. $450.00
JT Martin Trousers, size 36. $180.00
CS Trousers size 37, sumac jean, mule ear pockets, sewn with logwood thread, blue stripe up the side seam. $175.00
Civilian pattern Drawers. Economy pairs I made up for the event. Sizes 38, 40, and 42 available. $55.00
CS Cap size 7 3/8 made by Cody Mobley from Mickey Black green jeancloth. $60.00
USED Type I US Cap size 7 3/8 made by Mike Stiles. $75.00
USED RD II size 42 made from FHW English Army Cloth. Entirely handsewn using logwood dyed thread. Top quality Ben Tart script I buttons. Worn to a single event and I really hate to part with this one! $325.00

size 42 Geo. McDill four-button jacket/sack coat in custom FHW jean, lined with discontinued FHW osnaburg. Some of you may be familiar with the original that is housed in the Mud River Museum in Tennessee. This jacket has western origins and is a very unique garment. $200.00
size 40 C.S. commutation jacket made from discontinued Ben Tart logwood dyed plain-weave jeancloth, lined with osnaburg and lightweight duck, and completely hand-sewn with logwood dyed cotton thread. $325.00
size 7 3/8 Wheel cap by Mike Stiles made from original rubberized cotton sateen, lined with brown linen and featuring original zinc "Gold Era" buttons. This cap must be seen to be believed!!! $175.00

Accouterments:
CS Cartridge Box, .69 caliber. Rare, one of five such boxes made by Cary Davisson with a wooden finial. Hughes, Pendergrass, and Snow sling. Complete with tins. $150.00
US Cartridge box, .69 caliber. Only known federal cartridge box made by Cary Davission. Top quality, 12 stitches per inch. Truly a thing of beauty. Includes plate and tins but not the sling. $165.00
US Haversack. Originally made by the Haversack Depot with a sewn shortened strap that has not been cut and can be lengthened if wanted. I have modified it by handsewing the bread bag as per an original viewed at the WVM. $75.00
USED CS sewn scabbard. Lead tip. Unknown maker. Good, solid condition. Very large opening so it will hold even a Lorenz bayonet if necessary. $60.00

USED US Officer's sword belt. Made by Cary Davisson. Will fit between a 40" and 46" waist. Excellent made belt, only worn to one event. $135.00
Now, to place an order PLEASE send me a PM. I will be unable to get to my business email until Monday morning so it will be difficult to sort out who wants what unless you send me a PM. Otherwise, I will be taking calls as I drive home tomorrow (Saturday) and my lovely wife has agreed to take your order if you would like to make one that way. Please feel free to call tomorrow from 9AM to 6PM and if you don't reach us please leave a message!
I look forward to hearing from you!
Best Regards,
