Does anyone know if there is someone out there who is making an authentic gaiter ala 146th NY Zouave like the pair that recently sold with the original uniform. Bone buttons, I think about 5 or 6 bottons with a cloth strap that goes under the shoe.

Re: Gaiters
Contact Chris Sullivan...he may provide a lead if he, himself, is unable to produce them at this time. He did very good gaiters for the 14th Brooklyn some time ago.Marc A. Hermann
