Sure is nice to post something here "for sale' and then have everyone post reasons why not to buy them. People buy these shoes off ebay and other forums all the time. If you havent got something postive to say and why post? Besides it does say make offer if you dont like the price? Reg

These are not cheap fugawee shoes. Many of my friend have had to replace fugawee in 2years with meduim use. These are the best you can buy next to Robert Land shoes. Upper is 1/8 in thick leather then lined inside. $130 shipped for $185 worth of shoe is an awesome price for period correct shoes. Reg

No one wants period accurate shoes? Reg

Back to the original question here. Do not wear a Glengarry. A bonnet is more appropriate and was widely worn even by non scottish seaman. It kept the head and ears warm in bad weather. Glengarry did not come about until 1815 or so and was requested for the scotts in the british army by one of the Queens. Elizabeth I i think. Any way You would be way out of history for the 1600 - 1700 time period Go with the Bonnet or Workmans cap, or Liberty type sock cap. I am with the 42nd Black watch highlanders Rev War reenactment group - 1770-1780-s We wear old style bonnets and newer Kilmarnock style bonnets - diced and pill box shaped.

Sorry Guys, Been on other boards lately. Cannon was probably in November 2 weeks ago. Musket is in the spring. maybe another cannon school. Web site not updated NPS cut funding and let webmaster go.

Recreated the seige of town , where the townspeople were brought into the fort. march is drakes raid. look up historic florida militia website for events. and groups in florida. Sorry, been to savannah 225 october and camden nov. would like to have done nov13 , but burned out. Reg 42nd RHR "black watch" Pirate to heart.

Ayeeeee Check out the fort on Saturday or Sunday and watch me fire the cannon with the gun crew. I am a volunteer. 4 times usually a day. 6 pounder on a garrison carriage 5 person Gun crew decked out in Spanish early 1700 frocks and breeches. Contact the fort by phone and sign up for 2 day Cannon school or Musket school. Learn to fire both free on the national park service. Run a search for Castillo de san marcos http://www.nps.gov/casa/home/calendar.htm Call and ask for Joe Brehm or come down dec 4th for British nightwatch We will be in the spanish quarter with full camp of the 42nd Royal Highland Regiment " The Black Watch" Lots to see : Drills on the fort green. Musket firings. and Night time parade and Musket discharge downtown. Mayor dressed as British Governor speaking to townspeople. Good time for all. Reg 42nd RHR East florida Privateer Cannoneer

Try using Mineral Oil - Its in the pharmacy under laxatives. Yea I know. But it is a natural one if you drink it. But Seriously, I do Rev War re enacting and the Cook says to use it on cast iron and my musket to keep it from Rusting. Lite coat will do it. Searched many sword sites and recomended same thing. Japanese used to use something almost identical to mineral oil on those samaria swords. Only thing different is a additive for smell. Good Luck.

Greetings, Looked at this pattern in Walmart tonight. The coat kick A??. Fitted upper torso with 3 sets of pleated skirts (sides and center). The Cuffs are oversize like POTC Depp style. The pants are definetly drop front. Easy to make knee breeches or full length trousers. Waist band may need to be widened and a gusset with draw strings put in rear seam. This will be the closest pattern to period for .99cents Jo ANNS that you can get. shirt and neck stock is close enough. Vest is so so. I would use butterick pattern 3896 for vest / weskit. It is dead on as a match to period patterns.
