They certainly existed in the period although they were rare as you suggest. In this case I’m afraid they might be a slight anachronisms necessitated by my comrades weight loss.

Hi, it’s a hat blank I bought and moulded around a conveniently sized bowl and then fitted with a band and liner. It’s petty simple to do and the end product looks pretty ok.

Hi, sorry for the delay in replying. The kit is mostly home made, suppliers will depend on where you are in the world but the Henry Krank patterns are a good place to start.

I joined a group that does 1st bn of the 60th, I live about 30 minute drive from the Bushy Run Battlefield in Pennsylvania. Ended up having CD Jarnigan make my regimentals. Just did my first event this past weekend. Love your videos.

It looks like an illustration by the Funckens, but I don't know which of their books it might be in. It's not in "Soldiers" Uniforms and Arms in Detail, 1700-1780" ("L'uniform et les armes des soldats en detaille, 1700-1780") or "Soldiers' Uniforms and Arms of All Eras" (Les costumes et les armes des soldats du tous les temps").

Search: American soldiers French and Indian war. I saw it there.

You probably dont give a damn but does anybody know a way to log back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot the login password. I love any help you can offer me

@Caleb Antonio Instablaster :)

@Fletcher Brodie i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Fletcher Brodie it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much you saved my account :D

@Caleb Antonio No problem :)

Hi there, there are a number of suppliers, mostly based in the US although www.sj-seamstress.com in the UK carry some really good stuff. Having said that, I think I'm right in saying that everything in this video except for the buff belt was made by group members. If you would like to know more why not pop by our facebook page facebook.com/60thfoot/ and send/leave a message or email us at [email protected], we are always happy to discuss kit, patterns and materials.

interesting thank you

@john Mullholand It was one of several cartridge box designs from the period, in use by the British Army (IIRC these weren't standardized till after the war). The large flap served mostly as a form of protection against the elements; other designs had shorter flaps, but will often come with a second flap under it, for added protection (mine is like that). This style was in fact one of the most common in the period before the war--you see it in illustrations from the War of Austrian Succession, for example (1740-1748). It's not that hard to access, since the leather is softer than in other models (later models--like mine, are stiffed, but since they're shorter, they're not a challenge)

It's a pleasure, more should follow soon.

sorry to be off topic but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
