I’ve gone to several Vintagers events both in Northbrook, IL and in Simonton, TX. Dress-up is part of the fun. However, as a proud American I try to emulate what an American shooter would have worn at the turn of the 20th century. After researching numerous old photos, I finally settled on a black bowler, black suspenders, a baggy long sleeved white shirt, a baggy pair of dark Dockers and low-cut black boots. Several times I’ve taken black powder ammo to shoot at these events. It’s odd, but I’ve never seen anyone else shoot black powder. One day I may change the hat, the black wool bowler gets a bit hot if the weather goes over 75 degrees and there’s much sun.
