New 1800-1820's Persona

[Watauga]

 I have been working on and Putting together an 1800-1820's Persona For Mississinewa 1812 and the Siege of Fort Wayne events I attend.     Clothing really started to change in the 1790's and the Beaver Top hat helped fuel a big part of the Fur Trade...     I have picked up the Tailcoat on Ebay and ordered the Top Hat from Amazon...Finding A Top Hat Localy is impossible is seams  The waistcoat is a Rev war type with the front turned into a 1810 type look.  I already had some Rev war shirts that will work and the Trousers will work for 1780's 1820's So unless a thread Counter gets me,  I am good after spending a little less than $100.00 for an 1800-1820's Persona   A correct waistcoat will set me back another $80.00 and some slightly more modern Shoes or Boots any place from $150.00 to $350.00 so I am waiting  for Trade blankets and Trade show Deals and in no hurry... Because that is how to do it!  Traditional Muzzleloading on the Cheap is also best!!

I wouldn't worry. I have shirts, pants and even socks that are 40 years old.

Patocazador  Yep I have some jeans and shirts like that as well...

  Santa!  Why didn't you stop over at my house Christmas eve??  And where's the red snow suit? 

My persona used to be a poora$@#&% country boy of the 1960s.  I did, however, upgrade it.
Here are the three phases I went through to get to my current persona.

Hanshi  Wow looks like you upgraded it very well!!  Its a shame you don't have the "Hog" to Ride any longer,.. but things happen..... I have a suggestion for your new ride....

I need to chime in and praise that magnificent beard. Some of can only dream of growing one like yours.

  I do not ride anything that has 4 legs!  I can't even ride a bicycle now; I'm lucky to walk and not fall down.....and that's without even taking a drink!

I guess I was in my 30s before I could grow a beard.  Now I can and it's all gray, but nothing like yours.
