Forgot to mention a sling. Not really a necessity, but it would make Molly a lot easier to get along with for long periods at route step.

Re: What are you in the market for?

Out of curiosity, as far as your uniform and gear purchases, what are you in the market for in the upcoming 6-12 months? Check all that apply.

I'm a fresh fish and a civilian, so I need a corset, a dress, undergarments... the list goes on. I need everything! (Aye.)

Re: What are you in the market for?

I am currently in the market for a nice pair of boots (Mattimore Harness), a good rubber or oilcloth mechanics cap, and fabric. I am always in the market for fabric, but specifically I need a nice corduroy for a pair of trousers, red or blue wool flannel for an overshirt, and some white Pima cotton for a shirt.
I am also on the look-out for some brown polished cotton since it is now no longer being manufactured (according to Darlene at Needle and Thread). It would be really nice if someone could start weaving some brown Holland (hint hint :wink_smil ).

Specifically what types of coats are we looking for?

Thanks

Brass forage cap vents

I've been waiting forever to find a source for those nifty round brass vents for the top of forage caps seen in so many period images. They must have been popular. Currently have an original on my cap, but I'm sure these things would sell like hotcakes and probably wouldn't be that hard to make for someone with the right metalmaking skills/tools.

I sold all my stuff a few years ago to pursue WW2 collecting. I am now in process of rebuilding my impression since I have a huge stack of ww2 stuff, while everyone I know does CW.

I am in need of the following:Federal:
accoutrements
haversack
contract and issue shirt
blouseand trowsers
shoes
blanket
musket

I am just glad that this time around It won't take 6mo. to a year to get some of this stuff.

Oh well, you live and you learn.

Re: What are you in the market for?

I'm looking for without success a reproduction Bible. I have a repro New Testament, but would like to have a complete work. I have considered an original, but those I have seen are way too fragile to destroy in a haversack.

Re: What are you in the market for?

Mr. Atwood,

I would actually recommend getting an original. I got a really good condition 1847 (Mexican War) Pocket Bible (old and New Testaments) from ebay for 48 dollars. It's in beutiful condition and I have used it at a few events with no problems. Oh, and I wouldn't recommend you carrying it in your haversack if it is an original, because you don't want to get grease and crumbs on it (depending on if your on campaign or not). I attached a few pictures of mine.

As for me, I am in the market for:
1. a new Sack Coat
2. A new knapsack
3. a new ground cloth.
