Just to add a vendor. Carter & Jasper Mercantile, Joe Blunt will make Indian Wars clothing. He has a Facebook page.


Addendum:  WPG should send me a Xmas card, lol. I now have the canvas coat, trousers, proper suspenders and gaitors. Since most what I do is geared toward the 1870's/1880's, I'm set for now. May add one of the River Junction hats with the star vent down the road. Just what I need, another hat.....

Since Amazon has only one copy for sale at $95, this could be a good resource.

Excellent reference!  I got my copy from Ebay several years ago when the author found a box of them in his garage.  He even signed it for me!
