Double (Split) Front Elastic Bottom Back Suspenders (1857-on)

    Double button front (#7277) Suspenders - SPECIAL with Elastic Backs - Same as above #1907 suspenders except the lower portion of both back straps has been changed to white elastic. In the photo at left the elastic section has been tinted red for reference. On the actual suspenders the elastic is white and is therefore lighter in color than the off white of the rest of the straps. The elastic portion allows some "give" to the suspenders when bending over. The elastic portion looks similar to the cotton tapeof the straps. Although a friction clasp is shown in the photo, a piercing prong buckle is now used exclusively- see above.

    These Suspenders are correct for the 1857 (Note: samples were found in the cargo of a ship that sank in 1857 on the Mississippi River) thru 1890 period and for trousers with the double button front on each side. These also feature the crossed "X" pattern back to help keep the suspenders from falling off your shoulders.

Repro (size 9½), Original (size 5)

    This boot was originally called the M1851 Artillery Driver's Boot, as it was originally only issued to Artillery Drivers. During the American Civil War they were also issued to Cavalry troops and continued as the Cavalry Boot until replaced by the Model 1872 Boot, which is a modified version of this boot.

    This boot is an exact copy, with the exception of two changes. The originals had been machine pegged, nine pegs to the inch. Ours is stitched due to the lack of machine that can duplicate the work of an 1860's pegging machine. And for comfort the boot is lined with calfskin leather from top to toe. The leather in our boot is a semi-rough cowhide especially selected after studying the original boot. They will take a shine after a few polishes or will take Lexol for a "field-worn" look. They have a sewn sole with a ridged shank pegged into place. This boot has a comfortable square toe and a tight-gripping heel. There are no side seam welts.

    This boot covers an amazing time period. It is ideal for many impressions from just after 1800 through 1900 and beyond. It is suitable for 1800's miners, teamsters, cattlemen, farmers, Indian Wars, Cowboy Shooters, etc.. Mail order catalogues printed in the 1890s show a wide assortment of prices and qualities in styles just like these.

    According to Quartermaster records, most shoes and boots purchased had sewn soles. The pegged sole booties were purchased for $1.25 and $1.30 per pair as opposed to the average of about $1.90 for sewn soles, but the sewn soles were preferred.
