Here's a cool item I purchased for my US Army kilt. It's a repro of a Civil War era army officer's hat badge. It's black and red wool with gold and silver thread embroidery, and about 3" wide. You can custom order a regimental number (I was an officer in the 2nd BN, 35th Field Arty).

You can buy such a badge here:

That is much better than the modern offerings. Thanks for sharing.

I agree wholeheartedly...now if only I were Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery, or Engineer I'd be on that like stink on @#$% (Those are the four basic branches from Civil War times that immediatly come to my mind...there may be more...but I know mine is not among them!).
Very nice suggestion though, Brian! Thanks for sharing.

May have to call Fall Creek...
I recently ordered a black NCO waistbelt with 2 piece buckle from another large, fairly reputable suttler (to wear as a kilt belt). I say recent...it was nearly 2 months ago. They charged my card right away and said they'd get it made up and sent to me. A month later, I emailed back to ask how much longer it was going to be...at which time I received a response saying that they had experienced a delay in a leather shipment, but that they expected it in by the end of the week and would process orders ASAP. That was about 3 weeks ago...still nothing...and no status updates either. I'm not happy with that particular company right now. Maybe Fall creek can get me what I want.

I had ancestors on both sides, I say it with a good deal of tongue in cheek
OVM and 28th ARK INF. Besides, I'm in the winning Army now right?
I have a soft spot for underdog; Confederates, Irish, and the crew of Firefly.
