To begin with the essential items are:-
1) a sack coat
2) a pair of trousers
3) a pair of braces
4) a pair of black leather boots
5) a kepi/forage cap
6) a leather belt and brass ‘US’ belt buckle

The other items pictured below are not essential, but you may find them very useful, especially greatcoats and ponchos in cold and wet weather. During warm weather you will find a canteen is essential.
If you want to ‘live fire’ you need to acquire a shotgun certificate and a black powder licence from your local Police force. Then you will need a smoothbore musket, either a Springfield or an Enfield, and of course a leather percussion cap pouch and a cartridge box.
