Oh, yeah...(in case your interested):
Not a good picture on my avatar over there on the left side of the page (from the 2005 GAF Muster), but that is a "1892 enlisted undress" blouse, modified from a current-issue dress blues enlisted blouse (bought off EBay for $25). Not a lot of work to do, as the "cut" is basically the same. Remove the pockets and belt loops. I removed the lining, padding and "horsehair" stiffeners from the shoulders and chest area, to give it a looser, more "undress" look. The "darts" or whatever those things are in the breast area aren't authentic to 1892, but what can you do on the cheap? The original collar has to be removed, and modified, to have a "v"-opening, this should eliminate the eyelets for the collar emblems. If not, make a new collar from the removed pocket material. Take most of the "stiffener" material out of the collar, too. The 1892 buttons were slightly smaller than the ones used today, and the black plastic button (normally behind the belt buckle) is replaced with a brass button. The sleeve cuffs and cuff buttons are the same (actually the "old" ones are more "domed", almost like a "half-ball"), and you can re-do the epaulettes if you want. Modern blues have them sewn down to the shoulders. Correct buttons (big and small) are available from S&S as well. The 1892 Uniform regs are posted on the GAF Website, to get details. I would say it's about 90% historically accurate; since it is a "shooting" uniform, I didn't want to spend a lot of $$$ on it. I did one undress blouse and half-finished a dress blouse in one weekend; did it myself, AND I DON'T SEW! I did learn how to run a sewing machine couresy of my saintly patient wife. (She "doesn't sew", either, but at least she knows HOW)
NOTE: The illustration in Brassey's showing the Marines assaulting the Spanish Blockhouse at Cuzco Wells is inaccurate, showing the chevron's' colors reversed - should be yellow stripes on a red backing. Note also they are wearing the ammo belt and suspenders for the 1895 6mm Winchester-Lee rifle, made of blue webbing, including the suspenders, but the ammo pouches for the loading clips are pebbled black leather. Later, when Marines were issued Krags, they wore either the blue or khaki looped belt. (I guess some could have still used the old belts for Krag ammo.) Good luck on finding ANYTHING related to the Lee (yes S&S does have parts), and expect to mortgage your house if you want to buy one!!! I exagerate - the last shooter I priced was a VERY reasonable $3,500. Ammo is easy - make it from .220 Swift brass. The Swift was originally a wildcat based on the 6mm, but clips might be hard to find.
"Dress" version is about the same, differences are mostly in more red piping and "lace" trim (bias tape), and addition of red-piped belt loops, and the buff leather belt. Buckle is a plain rectangle, no emblem. The Dress blouse is supposed to be slightly longer than Undress, but it's barely noticeable. Coon Creek can set you up with a Full-Dress helmet, (so I was told by them) but they are expensive.
