This image was originally posted by me and I apologized for throwing it together. The point was to show the appropriate accessories (shirt, tie, waistcoat) to make the outfit more correct for the period.

I only used the cavalry officer's jacket because it was the only image I could find that was arranged and accessorized appropriately to use in the mock-up. That seemed pretty clear to me, but if I didn't state it clearly enough for you to understand that I apologize.

I thought you felt this whole conversation beneath you, Scott. No lost opportunity for a snipe, eh? And here I thought you were a gentleman.

Awesome. Does this forum have an "ignore this person" option? Some of the attitudes here, particularly by the farbs are deplorable.

Click on their name, go to 'View Public Profile' then click 'User Lists' and 'Add to Ignore List'. It's like pruning for your interweb garden...
Don't really see that much farbing here though....

Not having any idea about the term Farbs I thought I would post a definition for any others in the same boat
Farb is a derogatory term used in the hobby of historical reenacting in reference to participants who exhibit indifference to historical authenticity, either from a material-cultural standpoint or in action. It can also refer to the inauthentic materials used by those reenactors.

Farb or Farby is a term that came into use during the American Bicenntennial.
