The 1872 and 1873 chevrons were significantly
different from the Civil War period chevrons. The chevron was a piece of branch and
service colored wool facing cloth with black silk chain stitch outlining the pattern.
The black area on our chevrons is dark blue wool.
The M1884 Gold Bouillon dress coat chevrons are the same pattern as the M1872 chevrons, except
they are made with Gold Bouillon.
In 1898 the Army authorized cotton chevrons to be used on the khaki uniform. This was so that the coat and chevrons
would shrink at the same rate. These cotton chevrons are ONLY for use on the khaki coats.

Men's Suspenders, Single and Double Front
Single Front Suspenders
The single front (#1908) suspenders
/ braces are made of heavy cotton tape and are adjustable by means of a prong
buckle). This style has the single front leather button tabs. They
feature the crossed "X" pattern back to help keep the suspenders
from falling off your shoulders.
Double (Split) Front Suspenders
The double front (#1907) suspenders /braces
are also made of heavy cotton tape and are adjustable by means of a
prong buckle), but have the split front leather button
tabs. These also feature the crossed "X" pattern back to help
keep the suspenders from falling off your shoulders.
Double (Split) Front Elastic Bottom Back Suspenders
Double button front (#7477) Suspenders - SPECIAL with Elastic Backs - Same as
above #1907 suspenders except the lower
portion of both back straps has been changed to white elastic. In the photo
at left the elastic section has been tinted red for reference. On the actual
suspenders the elastic is white and closely matches the front straps. The
elastic portion allows some "give" to the suspenders when bending over. The
elastic portion looks identical to the cotton tape in front. Although a
friction clasp is shown in the photo, a piercing prong buckle is now used
exclusively- see above.
These Suspenders are correct for the 1872 (Note: some samples have been
dated as far back as 1857) thru 1890 period and for trousers
with the double button front on each side. These also feature the crossed "X" pattern back to help
keep the suspenders from falling off your shoulders.

Civil War Military Style Boots, Light Artillery or Cavalry
Repro (size 9½), Original (size 5)
These boots are made by one of the few
boot makers in the world that still produces the antique molded front piece.
The master boot maker was sent an unworn original model 1859 Boot made in 1865.
The top is about 12" tall when measured from the top of the sole and about
14" tall when measured from the floor.
This boot was
originally called the M1851 Artillery Driver's Boot, as it was originally
only issued to Artillery Drivers. During the Civil War they were also issued
to Cavalry troops and continued as the Cavalry Boot until replaced by the
Model 1872 Boot, which is a modified version of this boot.
This boot is an exact copy, with the exception of two changes.
The originals had been machine pegged, nine pegs to the inch. Ours is stitched
due to the lack of machine that can duplicate the work of an 1860's pegging
machine. And for comfort the boot is lined with calfskin leather from top to toe. The leather in our boot is a semi-rough cowhide especially
selected after studying the original boot. They will take a shine after a few
polishes or will take Lexol for a "field-worn" look. They have a sewn
sole with a ridged shank pegged into place. This boot has a comfortable square
toe and a tight-gripping heel. There are no side seam welts.
This boot covers an amazing time period. It is ideal for many
impressions from just after 1800 through 1900 and beyond. It is suitable for
1800's miners, teamsters, cattlemen, farmers, Indian Wars, Cowboy Shooters,
etc.. Mail order catalogues printed in the 1890s show a wide assortment of
prices and qualities in styles just like these.
According to Quartermaster records, most shoes and boots
purchased had sewn soles. The pegged sole booties were purchased for $1.25 and
$1.30 per pair as opposed to the average of about $1.90 for sewn soles, but the
sewn soles were preferred.
All Officer Uniforms (Coats, Pants, Vests, Kepis and Forage Caps), all Indian War Uniforms (Coats, Pants,
Wool Shirts & Vests)
and All Civilian Clothing (Coats, Pants & Vests) as well as Many Large and Tall size
items take 9 to 11 weeks for delivery; UNLESS the item has a delivery time listed, then that is the delivery time.
Most other clothing (WHITE Cotton Shirts, Cravats, Suspenders, Felt Hats, etc.) take 2 - 4 weeks for delivery.
