M1911 style Campaign Hat with 5 row stitching. I have replicated the most commonly found style without lace chinstrap and with eyelets added for leather chinstrap. $60
Campaign Hat, 1930's Style. Sometime after WWI, the issue "Hat, Service" lost the 5 rows of stitching on the brim, and the felt thickness increased slightly. This reproduction models the last version of the campaign hat as issued from the 1930's into WWII. During this time the Service Hat was standard uniform in all overseas departments (Alaska, Philipines, Hawaii, Panama) as well as for all mounted soldiers. Sizes 7 1/8 to 7 3/4. $45
Campaign Hat Chinstrap. Brown leather adjustable chinstrap for the M1911 campaign hat. This is the fancy adjustable model that most soldiers purchased privately, with leather loops to attach to the hat cord. New reproduction, $12 (Pictured at top in picture to the left)

Army Officer's Hat Cord. New reproduction of the standard gold and black hat cord worn on the campaign hat by all officers other than generals. There are many, many variations on this hat cord. Mine is typical of those worn in the 1930's. $12 (Pictured at middle in picture to the left)

Army Enlisted Hat Cords, Cavalry or Infantry, reproductions, $9 (Blue Infantry cords are OUT OF STOCK)

M1916 Pullover Wool Shirt. In 1916 the Army modified the olive drab wool shirt with the addition of pocket flaps. This is the shirt that served American soldiers through the Mexican campaign and WWI, and was not replaced until 1937. This is a very high quality reproduction in 100% wool flannel (no cheesy polyester blends used here). Very limited production of only 80 shirts. Chest sizes 42-52. $85

M1938 Horsehide Riding Gloves - very popular with paratroopers (also very popular with French farmers after D-Day), this is the pattern with the leather strap and buckle on the inside of the wrist. $38 - IN STOCK AGAIN
Breeches, Khaki, Cotton. New reproduction of the summer uniform cotton breeches worn from the 1930's through WWII by mounted soldiers. All construction details meticulously re-created with the exception of the troublesome metal buttons. Breeches have been carefully engineered to fit modern legs. Available in Regular length and Long length for those over 6'. Even waist sizes 32-46. $95
These are cut slightly large to allow for slight shrinkage. Cold water wash and line dry recommended.

Officer's wool breeches in drab "pink" shade. Newly re-recreated in the classic pattern worn in the 1920's-1930's, and still seen in many WWII photos. These breeches are all wool elastique, which has considerable stretch (dry clean only). Inside knee patches are leather. Lower leg closes with combination laces and buttons (move the buttons for optimum personalized fit). Two flapped back pockets. Suspender buttons. Even waist sizes 32-46 in Short, Medium and Long lengths. $148
US Enlisted breeches in 100% wool elastique.

In the 1930's the Army adopted breeches made of wool elastique, a heavy, durable (and expensive) fabric previously worn only by officers. From 1937 only mounted soldiers were issued these breeches. WPG has faithfully recreated these breeches for the mounted enthusiast. Even waist sizes 32-46 in Short, Regular or Long lengths. $148

Spurs, M1911. New reproduction of spurs issued to mounted soldiers from 1911 until the end of the horse cavalry in 1943. My spurs are so close to the originals I had to make them without any markings so they would not be mistaken for real ones. Spurs come with russet leather straps that are longer than original straps so they will actually fit. $32 per pair.
Spur Straps. New production of US Army issue spur straps in tan leather. The lower strap is 2" longer than originals, and is pre-punched with two holes on one end and one on the other. Yes, you can still get original straps on eBay, but they will not fit over your boots and probably will not last through one wearing. Set of 2 upper and 2 lower straps, $15  Add to Cart  
M31 Mounted Service Boots. Full lace-up boots adopted in 1931 and worn through the 1940's. This is a very small trial run, available in size 9, 10, 11,12,13. These have very large calf sections, and most customers will have to have it cut down to fit by a shoe repairman. $175

Cavalry Boot
M1940 Mounted Service (Cavalry) Boots. A stunning, all leather reproduction of the 3-buckle boot issued in the last days of the Horse Cavalry. Made in Mexico by S.M. Wholesale, this boot is the same quality as all my other reproduction US Army boots. Whole sizes only 8-13
Sizes 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 presently available (YES, THE SIZES ARE ACCURATE!), $295
M1923 Mounted Cartridge Belt. This is a new reproduction of the 9-pocket cartridge belt originally designed for mounted troops. During WWII it was popular with many soldiers who carried both a rifle and a pistol. There is a blank space on the left end for attaching the Pistol Magazine Pouch, which is not included. $50 Add to Cart   OUT OF STOCK
.45 Auto Pistol Magazine Pouch. Standard WWI production, two-LTD snap mag pouch. Unissued. $15
M1916 Hip Holster for .45 Auto Pistol. When I saw how bad the Chinese made holsters looked in "Band of Brothers" I decided it was time to make some proper reproductions. These are indistinguishable from originals, and include the wooden forming block that is missing in most other repro holsters. Made in natural undyed saddle leather, just like originals, they turn russet over time with exposure to air, oils, and sunlight. $60
M1912 Mounted Pistol Holster. This is the first model holster adopted for the M1911 .45 cal automatic pistol. This mounted version featured a swivel and leg strap to keep it from bouncing while riding. Although soon replaced by the M1916 holster, the M1912 holster saw service on the Mexican border and into WWI, and occasionally can be seen still in use in photographs right up to WWII. $75
M1941 Mounted Canteen Cover, Reproduction. $16  Add to Cart  
Sword Knot for M1913 Patton Saber. A perfect museum quality reproduction of the very rare sword knot issued with the M1913 Saber. $18
M1905 Pistol Lanyard
M1905 Pistol Lanyard. This is a reproduction of the first lanyard issued by the US Army. Originally intended for the .38 revolver, it was also used on the M1909 .45 revolver, and on the M1911 .45 automatic until replaced in 1917. This is the lanyard used during the 1916 Mexican campaign. The hook does not fit well on the M1911, which may be the reason for a lanyard loop on early magazines for that pistol. $22
M1917 Pistol Lanyard
M1917 Pistol Lanyard. This lanyard was developed because the M1905 lanyard, designed to fit revolvers, did not fit the M1911 pistol well (some think this is the reason for the lanyard loop on early magazines). It was issued from 1917 through WWII, although supplemented later by issue of the M1942 lanyard. This is another museum quality reproduction. $22
M1942 Pistol lanyard
WWII M1942 Pistol Lanyard. A museum quality reproduction of this hard to find lanyard. $22
Canvas Bucket, WWI. As used by Cavalry and all mounted troops. Used, exc, dirty, faded and/or minor stains, dated 1918, $25

M1942 Pistol lanyard
M1942 Pistol lanyard

M1908 Saddle Blanket. New improved production version of this scarce blanket. Heavy wool, dark brown stripes, Stitched ordnance bomb and US. Museum quality reproduction. $75
