For any one interested in the Spanish-American War, click on the link below for some pictures of troops in uniform. Note the variety of creases for the campaign hats. Good detail in the photos. Enjoy!!

I just purchased a campaign hat for my Span-Am War persona from Knudson's Hats. He makes a good hat but would not put in the star or snowflake patern vent holes in the crown.
Anyone out there with a patern or diagam I can use to punch the holes in the side of the crown?

Hey Grapeshot,
I beleive in the pictures I posted there is a hat done by Dirty Billy's that shows a closeup of the snowflake vent. I just looked, there are two examples, closeups of the vents, on page 3.
Hope this helps,

I did find it interesting that in the majority of photos, the troopers when in their blue wool shirts, did not have the white suspenders that you always see in reenacting units. There were some white, some dark, and most were not visible. There were also some leather belts worn around the waist that were not equipment/utility belts.

EE, I noticed that also. I guess it's because that we are "trained Observers".

Probably for the same reason that re-enactors have have what the books and manuals state (and not always what you see in period photos). For example, I know almost all US WW2 re-enactors have to have should patches, rank isnginia and those leather straps on the helmet liners when period photos clearly show that most GI's
never
had any of those three things in combat...

Frenchie, I learned early that the more "jelly beans" showing the more "incoming" experienced. Many Confederate officers removed the French knots from their sleeves and Grant wore a private's shell jacket for this very reason. I concur with your observation that no combat ready outfit would pass inspection. Heck, many of us of the 10th MG couldn't pass an inspection when not combat ready. Oh well, I didn't train for inspections anyway. Buggers aren't usually impressed by spit-shined boots at all.
