FOR PAYNE'S FARM 2005 PARTICIPANTS

In late November 1863 the 151st New York State Volunteers were clothed in a mixture of jackets, but the predominant jacket in its ranks were the short-waisted "New York State jacket", of dark blue wool broadcloth, lined with cotton or other period-correct material, with a stand-up collar, functional epaulettes, and a belt loop on the left side, with 1/8-inch sky blue piping around the collar, epaulettes, and belt loop, and seven ¾-inch diameter New York State buttons.

The Federal committee for this event recognizes that these jackets are relatively uncommon in the reenacting community and, to increase the number of New York State jackets in the ranks at the Payne's Farm 2005 event, the organizing committee is proud to offer a "bulk buy" on high-quality reproductions of these jackets.

It is the hope of the Federal committee that as many men as possible within the Federal ranks will take this opportunity to obtain one of these fine jackets. New York State jackets are encouraged not only for this event, but also for the upcoming "Winter 1864" winter quarters event, planned for February 2006.

C.J. Daley Historical Reproductions - a leading maker of fine wares for living historians - has kindly offered to reproduce these jackets at very reasonable prices; as can be seen from the following pricing schedule, the cost per jacket decreases as more jackets are ordered:

1 to 2 orders = $245/ each
3 to 5 orders = $215/each
5 to 10 orders = $210/each
10 or more orders = $190/each

All orders paid in full, all delivered not shipped (i.e., delivered to you at the event), and all orders required April 20, 2005.

Regular pricing on these jackets is $245 each, so if at least ten orders are received a savings per jacket of $55 off the regular price will be realized by "bulk buy" participants.

HOW TO ORDER:

To participate in the "bulk buy" please send the following information:

  • Your full name
  • Mailing address.
  • Home phone number (evening phone) with area code.
  • E-mail address.
  • Jacket size (chest measurement), waist measurement, and sleeve measurement in inches.

Do not send funds until April 1, when we have a better handle on the number of jackets ordered and the final pricing. Men signed up for the "bulk buy" will be informed via e-mail on or around April 1 of the final price per jacket. After this time, you will need to send a check for the FULL AMOUNT of the jacket payable to "C.J. Daley Historical Reproductions, Inc." to the Payne's Farm 2005 jacket purchase coordinator:

Regardless of whether one participates in the "bulk buy" or obtains a jacket directly from Mr. Daley, these prices represent a great value on a great reproduction jacket!
