Foot Pattern Overcoat / Matress Tick

[Mosch Pit]

Greetings Pards.......

Need a little bit of help in the "Sutler Department".

I am looking for a good Foot Pattern Overcoat for cold events in Colorado. Who do people recommend? I have heard good things about C&D Jarn****n, and also NJ S***a.

Also I am looking for good authentic mattress ticks for garrison impressions? Any thoughts?

Here are some sources, one of which is an approved vendor here at the AC!

Enjoy!

PS - Does anyone know if Charlie Childs is still making finished garments? I don't see them on his website. Thanks!

John,
Based upon a conversation with Charlie at the Spring N-SSA Nationals the answer is yes. I believe he just isn't advertising prices and item availability anymore. Actually I got the impression he is pretty busy. If someone is interested in having something done, I believe they should contact him directly for price and when he could get to it. While there I saw a Federal Infantry frock coat that he had recently made for one of our team members and it was absolutely amazing. The man still (IMHO) does the best work in the business.
