He comes to my door - he gets triple the usual amount of candy.

Get one made with real wool and to the specifications of the original by C&D Jarnigan in Corinth, Mississippi. Sash, hat, socks, underwear, swordbelt, and shoes also made authentically.

Yeah, if you value your kids life, I wouldn’t suggest it. Not with these barbaric pieces of excrement running the streets these days. Especially if it’s made of “COTTON”! ;-) I saw something yesterday by an alleged “native American” that, if you were seen dressing up for halloween as a native American, they would mace you in the face no questions asked. Hope they enjoy their stay at the county corrections facility.

Yes, I was going to say... given the current climate of blind hatred cultivated among so many of "our fellow Americans" these sad days, I'd at least have the kid carrying a real sword.

440 Six Barrel or Hemi dual quads.

I once participated in a CSA reenactment wedding of one of my students almost 30 years ago now, and I was given the uniform of a CSA chaplain; I wore the wool uniform in 95 degree FL heat and humidity, outdoors in the sun, at what was at the time Cypress Gardens (now Legoland). We all suffered through the wedding in the hope of the indoor reception, only to discover that the reception hall A/C was down. (The couple got divorced a few years later.)

Colonial?

Ebay sellers have some history difficulties...

I remember when you could find hats just like that with the Confederate battle flag on it at Disneyland.

That was me back in the mid 80’s! I was about 27 years old and rented one of these. My buddy at the time rented an SS Nazi uniform. I got pics but not digitized! lol

Heat stroke is a reality during summertime reenactments. Makes one wonder how the troops made it back then with the wool uniforms. Forrest beat the Yankees at Brice's Crossroads by blowing them out with heat prostration when they had to doubletime into the battle line. Many battles mention the losses to heat stroke.
