Sorry didn't get back to you. Been busy between vacations. Pants are button fly wool or jean cloth. You can use a somewhat cotton duck to material also. Probably the easiest way is to got a sutler site such as regimental quartermasters and look at the enlisted clothing and civilian clothing. Civilian pants and a 3 button shirt will work fine. Brogans for shoes, not boots worn on the outside as you will put on a good show for the spectators when a coal drops in them.

Nice to meet you Loreng59.

Did you get my e-mail?

Remember that the forge I use for the re-enactment has a blower at the back. So if it is a 3 x 4, I stand along the 4 ft side. It give me more room in my set-up. I just set the forge that I posted earlier up and the long side is coming from the wall with the short side along the wall. I will still most likely work from the side in order to work the blower. Hope that helps. Reb ps. Hope this message gets to you, I think I just posted the last one to myself.
