74th ILLINOIS UNIFORM AND EQUIPMENT GUIDELINES

74th ILLINOIS UNIFORM AND EQUIPMENT GUIDELINES

The equipment and uniform guidelines are not intended as absolute rules. The 74th
Illinois does not have any "Authenticity Commitee" nor do we intend to start one.
The suppliers listed here we believe are the best available in terms of authenticity.
Please be advised however that many of these items come at a premium price and
long delivery times are to be expected. Also most of these vendors do not attend
events and sell strictly by mail order. When dealing with them we reccomend you
buy in the off season and allow for long and sometimes frustrating waits.
