Well, about my duds at the time. The hat is a regular old Resistol with the crown lowered and shaped plain and the brim pressed flat. The brocaded vest is an 1800's original. The shirt is probably early 1900's. Me britches are just wool trousers of sort of a coarse weave minus the belt loops and the creases ironed out. Sort of. The boots are calvary pattern with straight lasts (left and right are interchangeable) made by a friend in Montana that got a wild hair one day and made cavalry boots for awhile. The point of all this is there are many sources you might not expect. Flea markets, garage sales. Clothing can be modified to your needs. WAH maker makes respectable vests and shirts. They are offered through Miller Stockman. Then there are those sources specifically for living history: Jas. Townsend & Son, Smoke and Fire Co., C. and D. Jarnagin Co., The Quartermaster Shop. These are all on the web. Good hunting.
