      Civilian clothing mostly, plus I'm pretty much into full replacement mode. Of items that I have worn out. But you can never have to many drawers, shirts socks etc etc.....

        Well,
        I'm now in the market for a frock coat, a new pair of trousers, new hat, civilan shirt, and accoutrements for my early war confederate impression since I have finished upgrading my late war kit.

              Civilian Blankets-looking for more variety in HEAVY civilian blankets--we have several of Pat Klien's, but are trying to avoid the "cookie cutter" look

              Civilian Cookware --got the Federal issue kettles from Osman, need something more appropriate for civilians in the deep South, but something that does not rust out in one season like my last tin plated kettle did.

              Civilian shoes--Got 2 reasonable pair, but they are getting worn out. Want something in the "poor folks" range--seems like many of the ladies shoes availible look more mid-to-upper class.

                  Have you considered purchasing a pair of brogans? I recently bought a pair of Lincoln Log Cabin brogans from one of the girls in our group who hated them. (They didn't fit her very well) I love them to pieces and they look oh so "poor". :-) Remind me to show them off this weekend.

                    I have to agree! I am somewhat in the market for a good civilian blanket myself. Certainly don't want to use an original.

                      Like Huck, I am concentrating on mostly civilian clothing and gear.

                            I need a US and CS frock, CS vest CS issue shirt, and a CS knapsack. Oh and two US dress hats, one for "Western" AotT AotC and one fully trimmed for CA garisson.

                              It's time to upgrade my great coat with a Daley great coat. Hopefully I will be able to afford it by the fall. Pricey but well worth it.
                              Just my two cents.
