Come see us tomorrow, March 9th and Sunday, March 10th at the New England Colonial Fair in Dover NH..

We are getting ready to head down to the New England Colonial Trade Fair in Dover, New Hampshire. Each year at this show, we launch a new product. This year will be no different.

This year we are excited to premiere our hand-sewn British military haversacks. These haversacks are hand-sewn from 10 ounce linen, with a hand sewn strap and two pewter buttons. Just like the originals, they are finished with a hand stamped Kings broad arrow mark on the back.

I brought a handful of these haversacks with me with different strap lengths. This type of haversack you will want to keep high and tight up on your side. I figure you can try these various lengths and find the one that fits you best.

We look forward to seeing everybody at the New England Colonial Trade Fair in Dover, New Hampshire. Doors open at 9 o’clock each day and will be located in the same area as always. Be sure to stop in and visit.

Besides these haversacks, we have a full supply of wool coats, breaches in West kits. We also have shoes, mules, and all of the normal handknit handsome bags that we usually bring to events.
