Some new developments as of 11/12/2009


We are pleased to make several announcements...

We now include sales and special pricing on our new "Specials" page.  Please click for details.

We have added a few more items to our Rigger's Shop page.  Should be exciting for the airborne enthusiasts!

Information about our limited production A-5 Aerial Delivery containers have been posted on our new Rigger Shop.  Please check this page for details.

We have restocked our Convertible Collar; EM and Off M37 wool shirts.    The serge shirting fabric is beautiful as expected.  Convertible Collar shirts are next in the production line.  Army O.D. woolen trousers will be coming in a few months time.  Please keep checking in for updates.

We just received our shipment of authentically replicated Slip, Tent.  These are the galvanized steel wire adjusters used to tension the eve line ropes on large military tents.  Please see the tents page for details.

We have produced a limited run of our Army HBT style fatigue cap in khaki cotton twill.  This closely replicates the theater made versions of the cap known as "swing" caps.  See the Army Field Uniforms page for details.

We now offer the M1 and M1905 bayonets!  We have added a new page dedicated to WWII era US military edged weapons.  On this page you will find our usually offered knives and machete.  You will see an exciting new addition to our product line.  US M1 and M1905 bayonets and scabbards.  The M1 style bayonets have arrived and reservations are now being processed.  The M1905 16" bayonets will be arriving shortly.  Please check our new Edged Weapons page for details.

Our USMC Forest Green WWI and WWII uniform program has been set back.  Unfortunately, the mill has to start again and make a new run. This will require more time. We are disappointed in this update, but this sort of thing is not uncommon in the textile industry.  Be assured we are working to make sure the melton fabric for this uniform meets our high standards.  Thank you for being patient.
