Went to a French & Indian war reenactment today and didn’t participate in battle but dressed the part of an American colonial militia. Carried my .62 cal Jaeger rifle.

Re: Historic Re-enacting
Now most of those one sees in re-enactments look like they are, unh, stretching it (the uniform, that is) a bit. You are slim and trim! Looks great, right down to the glasses.
Re: Historic Re-enacting
Yup! Plenty of plump “reenactors” popping their waistcoat buttons. I think only the wealthy had the luxury of becoming fat back in those days. Now the opposite is true.
Thanks for the compliment.

Re: Historic Re-enacting
I agree with the superb look and for all I know detail & accuracy of the entire picture.
You cut a noble and stoic figure Mr Jimster, Im sure another accurate reflection of a man at the time facing an uncertain future against a savage enemy.
A long time ago I had a .50 Muzzle loader (reproduction) that was a hell of the thing to fire.We ran fire and reload contests on muzzle loaders and the pressure unopposed was bad enough, let alone with a screaming & running enemy

Re: Historic Re-enacting
I was at a WWII reenactment weekend this summer and both sides looked very well fed!
You are doing a good job looking like a proper militiaman. But hey, isn't that the "puffy shirt" from Seinfeld?!
I worked at an1830s agriculture homestead historical site for 2 years in university, and those heavy cotton placket style shirts were the best!
