CARPET BAG

  Here is an item that I am very glad to have back in stock and made by a new manufacturer (us) who has taken great pains to make this bag as authentic as possible. It's 100% heavy cotton exterior is very similar to the original in our collection. The bag is lined with 100% cotton lining. It measures 18 inches tall and 23 inches wide. The width is 6 inches at the bottom. Easily large enough for two changes of clothes with room to spare. This is without a doubt the best reproduction of a carpet bag I have ever seen offered for such a reasonable price! There will be some variation in material designs from bag to bag.

CONFEDERATE HAVERSACK

  This Confederate style haversack made from tightly woven canvas with a single button closer is top of the line! The weave of the fabric is so tight it's water resistant.
Each one measures 12 inches tall x 12 inches wide. They are made using a 2 inch wide center gusset so this haversack will hold twice as much as the regular flat style without "bulging". This means it will lay flat against your side and not bounce and roll with every step you take. That's more comfort for you! There is no liner with this style as per the original examples. The shoulder strap is 2 inches wide so it does not cut into your shoulder no matter how you over pack it. The strap is long enough for even the tallest Sech.

CS KNAPSACK



  We are very glad to be able to offer this CS Knapsack. We have seen several in the past but none that were up to ours or your standards. We are having this one produced right here in Tennessee so quality control is no longer an issue.



  This is the copy of the famous CS soft pack that is seen in several photo's of the period. There are actually a few existing examples. One is marked as being made by the English Company of "Isaac & Campbell". One of the most prolific suppliers to the Blockade Runners.



  This bag has one compartment with a top flap that closes using 3 wooden buttons. The tarred outer flap then folds down and is fastened by means of 2 sets of cotton ties which are pulled to the inside (the side near your back) and tied closed. The leather is hand dyed brown and the hardware is japaned black iron roller buckles. As you can see by the photo (man I need a better model!) the breast strap fastens to hold the knapsack securely in place which will allow a minimum of movement while on the march. Which means it's much more comfortable than some of the other packs.

DOUBLE BAG KNAPSACK

  Our double bag knapsack is made from heavy tarred canvas and top grade leather. It is an exact copy of the double bag in our collection. It is seen in original photo after photo and mentioned in many diaries and letters home. Lots of room for everything you'll need for the march and the bivouac afterwards. They will hold a complete change of uniform (very handy when you don't know if your gray or blue this weekend!) your blanket, shelter 1/2 and poncho roll up and fit right on top.

  If you did not see the issue of Military Images A few months ago (May/June 2002, page 36) that showed how to keep your knap sack from riding down your back, I'll tell you how it was done. Just take a small stick, about 3/8 of an inch around. You will have to judge the length for yourself. Fit the stick through the blanket roll straps with some excess hanging out each end. Then fit your shoulder straps between the stick and the blanket. Works like a charm!
