Spence,
Did you tell Ben to quit talking and get back down in the cave and back to work?Patrick Landrum

Pat, you have to give the man some "BBQ time".

Re: Scipt I buttons
well, what can I say? I have tried to contact Ben and can't get him on the phone, his web site is not updated anymore and I had heard he was taking a break, which all of us need on occasion.
I shall renew m y efforts to get in touch with Ben. And speaking of, my son purchased some mighty fine wool from him at Gettysburg in '08, gave it to Sheri at Galla Rock, and only recently, a year later, got the pants. They are bully. She did a wondeful job, but we had to threaten a law suit to get them LOL.. Ben's material is, well.. simply out of this world..
Did someone mention Bar B Que?

Re: Scipt I buttons
I'll give him a nudge. Right now he's pretty distracted with The Depot, the new G'burg shop (behind O'Rourke's). We're planning on going up there again this weekend so will have plenty of time to talk.
And he loves working down in that cave--it's full or original Confederate uniforms! Keeps him out of trouble. Understandably distracted, but out of trouble.Spence Waldron~

Re: Scipt I buttons
well thanks Spence. I know he must be very busy. Tell him that material he sold my son turned out GREAT, and we surely do thank him.
When will he be turning out some more of that fine sumac dyed jean and logwood dyed jean? I would sure buy 5 or 10 yards of each.
thanks

Re: Scipt I buttons
Well, it seems the forum concensus is that Ben is still in business. I own several of his products and enjoy his work. But the fact remains that I cannot get ahold of him either.
Does anyone know if "The Depot" has any of Ben's buttons in stock?Luke Gilly
