To me "Sutler Row" goods are not limited to Pakistan made products, but also in regards to authenticity. For example the sutler I mentioned sells a great many uniforms made out of blanket weight wool, usually unlined, and looking nothing like the real article in any regard. Blanket weight wool uniforms look good to the unknowing eye, but are oppressively hot in the spring, summer, and fall, (at least here in Texas), whereas correctly done uniforms not only look so much more like the real article, but when lined, (there's no such thing as an unlined Confederate uniform amongst originals, to my knowledge), the weight of the cloth, body and lining, is WAY more comfortable, and authentic. One can be forgiven for not being aware of that, speaking for myself, shortly after making a jacket for the first time, correct to last detail, I attended a normally farby event, (in fact I'm leaving in a couple of hours to attend the same event), I marched 4 miles in 90 degrees F. with the infamous humidity from a certain bad place mentioned in the Bible and was shocked when I noticed I hadn't sweated a drop and remained comfortable, when everyone else looked like they were about to die from the heat in their blanket wool uniforms, and jean uniforms of "Sutler Row" quality. (The "wholesale" Jean cloth normally seen from sutler row tend to be woven too tightly, and other factors I'm not currently aware of, but suffice to say, its very uncomfortable)
When it comes to the sutler mentioned they build their uniforms in their local town in Missouri, giving many an elderly lady something to do in their old age, at least from what I understand. There are many sutlers in the States, but the vast majority have gone over to Pakistan stuff, which while usually very well constructed. their patterns are off, (that could be solved if someone just sent them a pattern or two lol), but the cloth, while lighter than some blanket weight products, it is oppressively hot, at least here in the Deep South, and while I don't currently have proof, my personal suspicion is that their is a lot of polyester mixed in with their wool, and another factor when considering them, is the color. While the US made blanket wool uniform in gray tend toward darker shades, Pakistan items are instantly discernable because of the light shade, and the same can be said other colors they're products are made in.
I'm not trying to be mean, or hostile in any regard, I'm just explaining why to me Pakistan made items, and many other "Sutler Row" items are to me junk, I went out educated myself, found others more educated to learn from, and have now found myself looking down at many a product on sutler row, because the thought going through my mind is its junk, and I can make it better and cheaper for myself lol. I personally used to look upon the more authentically minded among us as snobs, but now I know why, uniform wise at least, you look better, your more comfortable hot or cold, and one can say they have kit just like what our 19th century ancestors had, just bigger around, especially in my case lol.
