Gentlemen,
The uniform guidelines have been posted to this thread! Please read over them and begin to build your impressions.
Now, for the really awesome stuff for y'all...
After speaking with each of them, we are excited to announce that several quality vendors have offered to produce limited runs of specific items that fit to our guidelines!
First, Avery Miller of Goober Grabber Headwear has offered to do a limited run of undyed Trans-Miss, Mississippi Depot, and Texas-inspired slouch hats for the event! Caps will run around $60 and slouch hats roughly $100.
Second, Brian Merrick has offered to produce a limited run of the "Fort Hindman" cartridge box for the event! This box is one of the few surviving originals to have Trans-Miss origin. It was issued to a Texas soldier posted at the location and is a solid representation of mid-war Trans-Miss cartridge boxes. The .58 cal box will run $215 and the .69 cal box will run $235.
Lastly, Cody Mobley of The Company Tailor has offered to do a limited run of "Texas stars" for your impression!
More information on these offers will be posted to this page by those mentioned above with more details and examples. Please take advantage of these offers and we look forward to having you all with us at Raymond!
