Theodore Roosevelt Rough Rider Halloween 2009

[Gordon Gekko]

Anyone have any info on where to obtain patterns for Teddy's (I assume) M-1899 Officer's Khaki Field Blouse and M-1898 Khaki Trousers.

I've found a couple of places that make replicas for re-enactors, but the blouse starts at over $200 and at that rate, this could get expensive real quick.

My Google-fu seems to be failing me on this and any help would be appreciated.

Best bet is find some patterns and try to make it yourself. Honestly $200 is pretty cheap for a replica of the outfits. It's amazing how expensive well done military blouses and pants can be!

Whatever you're planning to do I'd love to see the completed outfit. Teddy is my favorite President and someone who just had the most amazing life!

The replicas I have seen look great, I'm just a cheap guy!:lol


Has anyone here ordered from USHist.com?

They seem to have the best selection for the period.
