Looking for some places that cell authentic style Civil War clothes but wont completely break the bank.

You might look at S&S firearms, he has some, price doesn't seem too bad....but I don't know the quality, never bought any yet.

Fall Creek has pretty good prices.  http://www.fcsutler.com/  Check out their economy packages. :)

Look on eBay, you'd be surprised how much inexpensive CW stuff there is on there if you have the time to look:

yes dirty bills for your hat, just got my 1883 campaign hat from him , its awesome

Wild Billy Potts

I'll second MJB's list. With CW uniforms and gear, you will get exactly what you pay for. And trust me the differences are more than subtle.

River City John

I'll put in an addition of my favorite sutler.

Jean Marsh, owner, is the best, and will work with you if custom work. Very reasonable prices, too.

I found what I was willing to pay and the quality I wanted wasn't found together anywhere, So I make my own stuff for the most part.........

I disagree in the most strongest means. Avoid Dirty Billy's at all costs. They have the absolute worst customer service on the planet. I'd ordered a hat from them a while back, it showed up much later than promised, much more money than they said it would and it was an entire number hat size smaller. When I returned it with a note stating these reasons, they called me and left a voice mail stating they don't need my business and to never order form them ever again! I guess I was wrong to return something that wasn't what I ordered. What nerve of some people, huh?
