Griff Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 It's really hard not to respond with... "the Quartermaster's tent!" So let's pretend I didn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkey Flats Jack Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 The places Rafe mentioned are excellent. I'll add this one if you're on a tighter budget. Their value line stuff is decent but even they'll tell you that some buttons will need to be secured better. For the price difference i'm happy to throw on a few stitches myself. They also have better quality stuff but it reflects in the price. https://www.ccsutlery.com/store/ccsutlery.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branchwater Jack SASS #88854 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Which period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major BS Walker Regulator Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I would not advise using Milk Creek. Had a very bad experience with them. C&C Sutlery and Regimental Quartermasters is a good place to go. When I wear blue, I go Indian Wars garb or John Ford westerns. Major B. S.

That is too big of a gap...The blue flannel overshirt didn't start replacing the service coat until around 1881. The 1883 service/campaign shirt was a new design and would have been commonly worn in the Span/Am war. So you are dealing with a couple different military standards in that gap.
