I portray a young male Virginian accurate to the 1770’s and early 1780’s time period. I wear a striped linen sleeved waistcoat and brown linen breeches. I tie a blue cotton neck-handkerchief around my neck and wool garters below my knees. The stockings are also wool, and the leather shoes have brass buckles. My headwear is a plain wool felt cocked hat. When portraying a tavern worker I wear a natural linen apron. My winter clothing includes a blue wool sleeved waistcoat as well as mittens and a Monmouth cap.

I’ve got a wide selection of accoutrements with the clothing, including a linen knapsack full of the necessary items and plenty of “pocket trash,” extra fabrics, fire-starting kit, books, sewing supplies, and a few games to pass the time. I have pewter ware, bone and horn utensils, earthenware, glassware, and wood bowls. I’ve collected a full kit of reproduction writing implements, papers, wax sealing supplies, and more. There is a selection of reproduction coinage and paper currency that has been very helpful for educational purposes. Lastly, I own a reproduction 1740’s Long Land Brown Bess Musket with a bayonet to demonstrate loading procedures. Besides the items, I also have accurate linen sacks, a market wallet, draw-string bag, etc. to keep and transport my items in.
