Re: Provisional Supply Company?

Sir,

Forgive the fact that my email skill is at best amature. I certainly know you had asked to be removed but for some reason deleting you from my address book didn't seem to do the trick. By no means is it intentional that you were not removed. Hopefully this has been resolved.

Re: Provisional Supply Company?

I guess I would like to say something. Personally, I find it a bit disgusting to have AC members defending products that are obviously not up to par with the high quality makers.

"Hope this is not too late as I'd like to come to Ken's aid here. I did a lot of research in the Delaware and Philly archives to make sure I bought the right stuff for my impression. Ken had that stuff. Maybe at one time quality was not up to snuff, but that's not the case now. Although I can't comment on what stitching is proper or not I can comment on the quality of the leather Ken uses for the accouterments. It is definitely not the cheap Paki stuff. The leather is properly dyed and marked with the appropriate contractor's stamp for the issuing Arsenal. Parts of the coats are sewn with a period civil war sewing machine and the rest by hand to include the button holes. Thread is period type, according to US Army Quartermaster specs. The trouser are of equal quality with parts of the trousers machine sewn and other parts hand sewn. All uniforms bear appropriate contractor stamps and size stamps. Lets face it, we're bigger today then they were in the 1860's, and a lot of guys today couldn't wear the sames sizes they did back then. So I guess some trade offs have to be made somewhere, so Ken's uniforms at least look authentic. I have had several inquiries about who made my uniforms because of the authentic look of the material, and NOT the AUTOMATIC MACHINE SEWN off the rack look. They NO WAY look like the suttler row and paki fuzzy wool look. Its quality workmanship and materials.

I'll be at High Tide this year, and if anyone wants, I'll make them available for examination. "

Well unfortunately Mr. Purdy is incorrect here, I had purchased items from this company after he did and the quality was not there. Just recently I got my ***********box and was amazed at the difference.


Most people who posted basically said "Well it might pass as authentic"-that doesn't cut it.

I would entirely agree with Mr. Cooper here, its up to the other members of the forum to help each other out and to steer clear of any and all Farbisms. Something that "at least looks authentic" is a farbism.

Provisional Supply is full of nice guys, but that doesn't excuse them.

Thanks,
