But I like my original Yes, you should like your original! ;D But, until I hit the lottery or Donald Trump is willing to bankroll me, repros are the only way for me to go.  |

Originals are wonderful - as an investment! I will not take mine out even to a parade - they are just too fragile! I'm so glad Schipper's finally come out with them! I'm anxious to see his pea green cartridge belts, too! Eagle-snap with proper pouches?? Then all he'd need to do is the .45 pouch!

Hopefully someone will eventually repop the .45 ammo pouches- if not Schipper, then Jerry Lee/WPG. Slowly it's all coming together. Maybe then the 1914 bandoleer for us cav types! Everytime I watch "The Wild Bunch" or "They Came to Cordura" I just can't get over the actors wearing what would be today a small fortune in eagle snap web gear.  If I'd only been there... |

I tried to order two of these this morning - they're already sold out! But Heather assured my there will be a second batch in two weeks, so I "pre-ordered" a couple for me and Alvaro.
Get them while you can!

I also asked her about their pea green cartridge belts. Turns out they're not in yet, so she changed the home page description on them. I asked if they were the pucker-pouch or sewn style and she didn't know. If they can do the earlier woven ones, then you know what that means.... .45 pouches!! Keep your finger crossed.

Jerry Lee/WPG was able to get a pretty convincing pucker pouch for the garrison belt pouches so I know it can be done.

So either WPG or Schipper - who's coming out with eagle snap .45 pouches for under $125.00!!!

I'll have to bug Jerry Lee again...he is coming out with the 1911 sweater though. We should have them in time for next year's Columbus festivities.  |
