Sutler Needed!

[rocklord]

So I've returned from my first visit to the battlefield determined to assemble another re-enactment uniform only to find that here in the UK, there are zero suppliers! Can you help me by recommending some good online retailers? I've tracked down belt, holster etc. but am struggling with the basic uniform items for a trooper - shirt, trousers etc.

Any help gratefully received!

Thanks - that looks great for general clothing like shirts but I'm still struggling to find a uniform supplier. Can anyone help?

I think there is a guy on the other board called Keogh (Bill Rini)and he maybe able to help you, I am sure he does all that re-enactment stuff.

Quartermaster Depot in FLA makes a really good 1874 jacket, kepi, trousers, etc. (and are presently working up the 1872 jacket).
I have compared these things to originals in my collection and they compare very favorably. These folks know what Indian Wars stuff is supposed to really look like, and their prices are very reasonable.
I don't have their address in front of me, but I'm sure you can find them with a quick search. If not, let me know and I will dig it out.

PS--I hesitate to mention, but a lesser quality uniform (1874) can be had from S&S Firearms in New York (easy to find online) for not a whole lot less money. They are not up to the authenticity standards I would like and am only including this for completeness sake, and also for the fact that they have all sorts of other stuff besides clothing, like the correct cartridge boxes and horse hardware and so on.

Welcome to Indian Wars reenacting!

As for gear; belts, haversacks, and the rest, you cannot do better than What Price Glory. Their stuff is absolutely top notch. Again, I have set some of their products alongside originals and they are exact copies.
