Pards,
Now by bringing up this topic I am probably asking for a beating...but here we go. I was talking with one of my mainstream buddies the other day about the sack coats from an "anonymous" reputable sutler. I was trying to persuade him into buying the sack coat because of its high quality and its high authenticity. He countered me with "Ryan...How many of the uniforms issued were just plain crap? Why should I forfeit my "lower" quality uniform for a "higher" quality uniform?"
Now there are many factors that need to be looked at here...such as authenticity of: wool, thread, and stitching. But this got me thinking on how our high quality uniforms may be a little to high quality. And what would an "authentic" crappy uniform look like? Just looking for some opinions...
Respectfully,
