Bearskin Caps The majority of drummers and grenadiers in the British army were issued
with Bearskin caps along with shako. Up to 1800 the pattern 1768 cap was worn . In the 1790s this pattern was dressed
up with a white feather plume and white woollen
cords cascading over the front of the
bearskin. In 1800 this cap was replaced with a non-collapsible, cane-framed one with
a brass plate. The red patch at the rear disappeared. Drummer's pattern had a
metal drum at the rear while the grenadiers' had a grenade.

Bicorns and Chapeau Bras This is a very popular request and there is always a long waiting

100 metre minimum if we do not have the lace in stock. We also provide metal and

Muskets and
Rifles This is a new area which will be updated with more
information. Presently we will be offering the Baker rifle, India Pattern Brown Bess
Musket, and the Brown Bess Carbine. The same manufacturer provided these models to
the television series "Sharpe's Rifles" and are widely used with most
reenactment groups in the UK and Australia. Because of customs and other various
firearms legislations, we will be providing these items as non-functioning in that the
vents have not been drilled. Visit our Musket Section for complete details.
Shakos We can
produce a variety of patterns of British shakos to meet your needs. They are made from the
best materials from around the world: woollen felt from Poland, linen for liners from
Ireland, wool yarn for tufts (pompons) from Iceland, leathers from traditional tanneries of
England, lace and other trimmings from France and England and so on. All this comes
together to create the best reproductions found anywhere!

HAT006 Waterloo Shako 325.00US (360.00CAN)

Tinware Three
items make up this section. The Napoleonic period was a transitional time were we
see both the tin and the wooden canteen being used both in the War of 1812 (Commissariat
issue records) and in the Peninsula (watercolour illustrations). The mess tin offered here
is the D tin adopted by some regiments shortly after 1812 and also saw service in the
American Civil War. This example is based on numerous archaeological
examples found
in Canada. Interestingly enough, many of the specimens had graffiti
scratched into
them by their owners. Look for more additions to this section.

Uniforms We have constructed everything from fife cases
to forage caps. For example we have reproduced other rank coats in the 1796, 1797,
and 1803 and 1812 patterns for: Royal Artillery, 8th Regiment, 41st Regiment, 71st
Regiment, 10th Royal Veteran Battalion, 95th Rifles, 100th Regiment, Canadian Fencibles,
and so on. All are based on original coats and made of custom dyed madder red,
woollen lace, woollen
serge lining material, etc, and all visible seams are hand sewn and
edges left rough. The same concerns go into all of our other products. We do
not compromise on quality and that is why the majority of our clients have been museums.
