NCO Uniform Regs?

[LibertyHallVols]

For NCO's, do we want trouser stripes?

Thanks!

I'm sure Matt will confirm but I am 99% sure he did request them. I know my orderly just finished organizing some bulk orders for the K company NCO's.

[LibertyHallVols]

Yeah, I had a recollection to that effect, but couldn't find confirmation in my old emails or searching threads on here.

[hireddutchcutthroat]

I say yes!

[Johnny Lloyd]

As Co A 1Sgt, I vote yes... I was wondering this the other day.

1.5" for sergeants is $6.50/yard.
0.5" for corporals is $2.95/yard.

Two yards should be more than enough for all but the most "Paul Bunyonesque" among us.

...now, if that new Hardee hat would just hurry up and get here!

[Hairy Nation Boys]

Yes, to trouser stripes. The color guar will be wearing them and I had sent Matt an e-mail last fall and he said yes.

A nice example to follow:

Look at the high resolution photos and you'll see the Wooded Hamlet worsted tape is a great match.

Nice...those are the Martin trousers that I reproduce and I've even had a chance to study them up close (fun fact: there's two names written inside in pencil) Strips of dark blue kersey or broadcloth pieced together would also work.

I was told in August that our NCOs were to have trowser stripes, the thought being that this is a regiment straight from training and uniform issue at Benton Barracks.

Just ordered my tape from Needle and Thread, the lady told me it must be something happening as I was the second person that had called from Mississippi this morning ordering this. Told here it was for the 150th Shiloh event next month. Nice folks to deal with.

I second about Needle and Thread. I ordered mine on Monday evening and received it today, well packaged, along with some logwood thread that I did not find on their website but which they had in stock. Very, very nice woman I dealt with.

The trowsers looks great with the stripes on them. Just making sure though, we're not going to be putting stripes on overcoats, are we? I know its the regulations, but I've seen very few images that show this. I would assume we are not, but I just wanted to make sure.

[Matt Woodburn]

Glad to see you guys getting it done right with the trouser stripes! I'd skip the overcoat stripes. It may be so warm you won't want an overcoat at all.

[LibertyHallVols]

Thought I'd share some of my preparations.
