Working on weight loss, but here is my 1861-1862 Arkansas soldier impression.

Idk if it's accurate to combine those two. They both also have different colors.

Hello! My son is asking for two items from Schusters. Has anyone bought from them recently? Do they use PayPal for transferring funds to their bank account?

Should I embrace it, cover it with a cloth patch or get rid off it? How strict were WWII militaries when it comes to small damages like these?

The right flak vests are stupid hard to find and when you find them they are 300-600$ and there seem to be no repros. I see people on YouTube talking about getting m55 flak vests for >200$ and I don’t know where they find them. Are m55 flak vests required for a Hue city or tet offensive impression or can I get a cheaper m52 of m69 flak vests. (Sorry for the rant)

Edit I have pictures of marines not wear flak vests but its only like 2 photos

My photos I have of there unit only reach 1942 did they ever get issued helmets in 43 or 44

Tdlr I have kirtle, knife, spoon, mug, needle case. I need shoes, patterns, belt, spindle. Anything else?

Helllooo I'm new to reenacting world being part of it but been going to any living history events I can find for years! I'm going to TORM and ARMS this year (I may have left asking this question too late) and I'm not sure what I'm missing from my kit (I'm not including tents etc yet, though suggestions welcome).

My person is a lower class ish young woman who works for the local lord as a children's assistant (possibly not very accurate but it's what I know lol). I am making a kirtle and underclothes and have these things from Tewkesbury: small knife, mug, spoon, needle case, pouch, cape (not historical or well fitting but warm and will alter). I want to make a hood, apron, etc.

I know I need shoes and patterns and a belt, is there anything else I need as a capsule wardrobe? Any good vendors? I have short and wide feet so I might be looking for custom makers, and might try making my own patterns!

Any help or pointers to other subreddits etc gratefully received

Im looking for 2nd or 3rd pattern jungle fatigues preferably repro for USMC around 1968-69

Anyone know where I can get any replica British 24 Hour Ration Packs for a reasonable price in the UK? I want to try one before I buy them for reenactments and I cant find any ones with all the food aswell and the box and all. Most I can find is just the box and instructions nothing else.

Anyone know where to purchase one of these bad boys as a repro? (Will be shipped to US).

Every event needs a beer run

I got this cool WW2 U.S nylon belt at an antique mall, I'm hoping to use it for a Vietnam War U.S Advisor impression, would it be accurate to use it for such impression?

I’m looking for something to get me into reenactment so I want to be as accurate as possible if anyone knows anywhere it would be much appreciated.

And can you give me some pictures of the LRRP of the 101st if you have any

Is anyone else going to the 1940’s winter ball at the Wings over the Rockies air and space museum in Denver on 12/07/24? I’ve never been before, but I hope it’ll be a good experience.
