| I hope Oprah can give this guy a makeover! |
I figured a before pic was in order. Here it is... That's right, GENERIC! Exactly as I had described earlier. It is enough to pass a jury according to some of my more serious living history buddies, but I'm just not satisfied. Plus, it is is definitely NOT French here in the Illinois Country, 1750. I had originally tried to put together something from a Virginia/Anglo context. Here's what I've got on from top to bottom:
Wool Monmouth cap
Scrap of cotton cloth for a neck scarf
Linen/cotton blend shirt
Waistcoat in cotton
Cotton canvas French-fly breeches
Cotton Socks
Leather buckle shoes with brass buckles
Oh, the fusil? That's a French "D" that I built from a kit. It's staying! I do have a Fusil de Chasse as well, but my "D" is a tack-driver if it can get me to cooperate. Shooting is how I got into this crazy hobby and enjoy a good shooting competition as much as any other part of the hobby.
