Title: Source for ribbon pins, attachments etc.
Post by: Drydock on November 16, 2010, 05:27:11 PM: One of my favorites for those looking for ribbon attachments: http://www.vanguardmil.com/ Also, if you look in the Navy section, you will find canvas white leggings. A cap of Rit brown dye and you've got an excellent set of leggings for your SAW uniforms.

Cool. I'll try the dye on my CC leggings and darken them up.

Also, here is the link for the cotton flannel IW shirt:

Anybody get the wool shirt from Quartermaster Shop. Last night they were $99 for a 42R, tonight it is 109.00. If ya add shipping that will get the price up close to what I can get at WR from Coon Creek

Post by: Drydock on February 14, 2011, 05:46:22 PM: No. 3 and 4 button blouses were provided by contractors to Military depots, and as you say, officers were expected to purchase their own. We're not stitch counters in this outfit, all we ask is that you try your best, get as close as you can with the resources you have, and enjoy yourself.
