LES GILETS D'HOMME MODELES CIVILS

Au vu de certains des gielts qui sont en dotation des le club, je souhaiterais que l'on arrive à vairier les modèles pour que l'image globale des reconstitueurs soient plus crédibles: un uniformité de modèles, certes d'époque, ne reflète pas l'image de la variété qui existait à l'époque.

Afin de vous soumettre des version j'ouvre donc ce nouveau sujet:

Silk Brocaded Vest, Circa 1850, that Belonged to Confederate Brigadier General Lloyd Tilghman with Ink Script Presentati

Silk Brocaded Vest, Circa 1850, that Belonged to Confederate Brigadier General Lloyd Tilghman with Ink Script Presentation on the Inside "Capt. Tilgman/ From/ McGrath Sarmiento". (See previous lot) Tilghman was the grandson of Tench Tilghman who served as aide-de-camp to Gen. Washington during the American Revolution and hanging from the lower button hole of the vest, from a white silk ribbon, is an old 2.5" x 3.5" typewritten card, apparently attached by the family when the vest was loaned to a museum, stating "This vest was worn by Col. Tench Tilghman, A. D. C. to General Washington Loaned by Mrs. Sidelll Tilghman". The period of the vest, coupled with Tench Tilghman's death in 1786, leaves little question, however, that the vest belonged to Lloyd rather than Tench Tilghman. Interestingly, Gen. Tilghman worked on railroads in Panama, both before and after his Mexican War service as a captain of artillery. The vest unquestionably dating to this 1840-1850 period. The front of the vest composed of fine white silk brocade with three pockets and rolled collar. Ten button front, the buttons covered with woven thread. Very fine condition, just some minor deterioration under the arms. Belted cotton back, also lined with cotton, with a kid leather liner along the bottom edge. Entirely, and exquisitely, hand stitched. Attractive and historic piece of period costume owned by a gallant Confederate general killed in action at Champion's Hill , May 16, 1863.

Voici aussi une très belle reproduction d'un modèle d'époque:

An identified Civil War Vest of Surgeon Charles Bunce, 59th Illinois, a high quality dark blue wool vest in a distinctly non-regulation "V-neck" pattern with the name "C. Bunce/59th Ill. Inf." penned in old ink inside the collar. The vest is a very well made, showy article of kit reflecting this officer's personal tastes, having the entire front edge trimmed with gold bullion. There are 36 tiny brass ball buttons of the kind found on Victorian mess dress uniforms of the period

Je viens d'en acheter un de Nico du 8th Tx, copie conforme d'un gilet du musée de la Confédération, je mettrai une photo en temps voulu.
