Puffer, did you find it or did I just run across it some where that the HBC issued Breechcloths at some point in lieu of trousers?

Or am I dreaming again.

I hate being separated from my reference material. :!: NO, I did not know this. :happy  Dog gone it, Just when I think I've got a "handle on it" someone comes along & UPSETS the CART.

Thinking of changing my "persona" to the 95th Rifles. @ least I'd have a "standard firearm, uni, & loadout.  :Doh!

Michael and Captchee, i whole heartedley agree with you both on the mix of clothing, thats the point ive been trying to get across here,  not just being stuck on one style of clothing, mix and match works well, thus the freedom for us free trappers to do so, not wearing a unform of one type or another as a soldier or sailor etc. if thats what works for you GREAT!,there deffinetly is a need  for someone to portray that part of history, as far as brigade men havn the resources I agree, but as i portray a free trapper and not a brigade or company man, i do not have the resources to carry a smitty rig with me nor do i want to, I am self sufficient with what i carry and what my native wife can produce for me to wear with the materials we have. If the tribal elders deem me a warrior and my wife has mase a war shirt for me do I not have the rite to wear my native finery at rondy as anyone else has the rite to show off their finery by wearing a kilt or dress uniform? :salute

After all, not everyone in the mountains had access more than one suit of clothes to or even the inclination to change clothes every day or even every week if they did.    :shock:

Finally, VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE.     :mozilla_wink  :applaud  :peace  :toast

Captchee, i think what everyone is refering to as a war shirt is a buckskin shirt with beaded arms strips, maybe beaded strips from the shoulder 1/4 way down the chest and a beaded bib,not just a plain simple buckskin shirt, and god forbid if we even get on the subject of a ghost shirt! not me! not going there!mines Northern plains style, with lakota bead patterns, beaded arm strips, and a beaded bib, going to take some pics today and see if I can get them posted, Jim
