2008 Kunstler Civil War Calendars in stock now!
The 2008 "Blue and Grey" calendar has prints of both sides; frameable prints by one of the premier Civil War artists - now only $10 each. Where else can you get 12 Kunstler prints for this price? Get yours before they sell out!! Click here to order. NOTE: We are truly sorry that we have sold out already - but the demand for the "Legends in Grey" version continues to be the stronger of the two - and apparently, the publisher did not print as many of them as the other version! Why, we have no idea!!! The 2008 production run is totally sold out! To avoid this situation next year, we've already placed our orders for the 2009 calendars - and we increased our order for the "Legends" version substantially! They are due to ship to us in July - and you can order anytime after that.
We have plenty of hoops!!!
As you may have heard, some sutlers have lost their supplier of hoop skirts. Thankfully, James Country is not one of them! We still have a good steady sourse of quality hoops at what we believe are reasonable prices. The only difference is that we now have them in TWO SIZES: waists of 38" or less and waists of 38" or more.
So -- don't be fooled -- James Country remains committed to serving the reenactor and living history communities with quality goods at reasonable prices. We are here to serve YOU!! Click here to order yours.
Missouri Confederate Battle Flags
We have finally located a source for 3-ft. x 5-ft. cotton Missouri Confederate Battle Flags!! 100% cotton, sewn on both sides - the true Missouri flag -- red border, blue field and white cross. They are in stock now at a value price of just $50. Click here to order yours.
