Wondering if anyone has a good source for waistcoat/vest patterns for both CS and US wear. Any wartime pattern is fine as my wife has offered to make me anything I need. We do the entire war so if it is not right for 61, I wait until 64. I currently have a military style Federal vest and a High shawl collar vest, but neither seem to accurately represent what I see in pictures.
I really need an excellent wool holster for my key wind pocket watch she got me for my birthday (about the only reason I wear a vest.) These would run the gamut from field use only to doubling for office wear (I like to work in the odd 19th Century clothing item just to keep the folks at NASA guessing.)
