Authentic jackets on ebay?! *2nd Try*

[csa_by_choice]

I'm new to the campaigner side of things and am trying to put together a proper uniform. I've read all the different threads about the junk on ebay and have seen too much of it myself. But while searching for that lone piece of treasure on Ebay I found these items. They appear to be properly made of the correct materials, but since I'm new I'm looking for other's opinions. Has anyone ever dealt with this seller? Can you tell if these garments are quality? Thanks for all your help. I've learned alot just reading all the different threads on here.

Nathan,

I recommend you go through one of the AC approved vendors for you clothing needs.

Agree with John. If you're in the market for a used jacket, use the Buy/Sell/Trade forums here:
http://www.authentic-campaigner.com/...splay.php?f=21


If you're in the market for a new jacket, use our Approved Vendors list which is being revised but can be found here:

Also, visit the AC Vendor Announcements:

Authentic jackets on ebay?! *2nd Try*

My question didn't get answered before the thread was immediately closed. What I'd like to know is if whether these goods are authentically made as described. Simply referring me to the "approved" vendor list doesn't answer my question. I do not have the same level of understanding of this field that the rest of you do, so I was asking to be shown the difference, not told. You may have to PM with answers, thank you.

Yes, your question was answered. We don't do Ebay here.

What we do do is maintain a quality For Sale forum and maintain an extensive list of authentic vendors.
Please don't reopen threads right after a moderator has closed them. That's going to get you off on the wrong foot around here.

Nathan,

For everyone's convenience, your two closed threads have been merged.

If you are interested in learning about Confederate jackets, I recommend you start here: http://www.military-historians.org/c...federate-1.htm

Reading this article will give you much of the needed background to make informed decisions.

As Paul said, we don't do eBay here. Further, it is extremely difficult to judge the authenticity of an item from a photograph and we are not going to get into a discussion of the merits/problems with garments of which we have no first-hand knowledge.
