All of our uniforms and equipment have been thoroughly researched and documented. As a unit we have identified resources to either create or purchase various required accoutrements and supplies. Within the hobby are a variety of sutlers (vendors) who make and sell every imaginable item needed to accurately portray our 18th century counterparts. To offset costs, our members will create certain portions of their kit using either available patterns or company gear as samples.

Sutlers can be found at most events, on the web, or through hobby related magazines. 

As the start up costs can sometimes be prohibitive, the unit will often loan a uniform, tent and musket to new members when they join. A new member is usually expected to have the basics soon after joining and purchase the "larger" items by the second season. 

We strongly recommend that any interested parties contact the unit before making a purchase of a musket, tent or item of clothing.
