Guest guest Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Greetings everyone; I have been a member for many years however, this is my first post. My family and I are interested in getting involved in Revolutionary War reenacting. Most items are easily made with linen or cotton or a suitable subsitute. The problem is items such as colonial shoes, a drum for my son (drum and fife) with non-leather skins etc. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Carin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Hi Carin I bought a vegan drum for Peter a few years ago, from The Vegan Society. It would be worth contacting them for the details of the chap who makes the drums to see if he could help. I'm glad you have unlurked :-) Jo - " vegan_4_2000 " <2diggle Tuesday, November 07, 2006 6:19 PM non-leather colonial items > Greetings everyone; > > I have been a member for many years however, this is my first post. > My family and I are interested in getting involved in Revolutionary > War reenacting.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Thank you for the response. That Ronjo website is wonderful! The colonial shoes look great however, I will need a shoe that is more authentic and not just shoe covers. But I have saved that website for future reference. The drum info looks very promising. I will contact them now.
