Lovely work, Scott ! I can imagine how they will look against deer or elk swede shirt. Thanks Sharon, When I get the Right leather...brain tan I will be making a War shirt. Or Someday I'll trade my work for one!

Make sure you use real scalp locks sewn on for fringes.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Boco... I traded for a Fisher skin hat back in 1982 at a Rendezvous in Tennessee...there were blond and brown real hair locks off each side. Wrapped with red felt and sinus. The Trader told me he cut his Daughters long hair to make those!!!
True story! The real war shirts in the museums have actual scalp locks(tanned scalp) not just the hair.They are small 1 inch circles of tanned scalp sewn all along the arms and shoulder area of the warshirt-they look really neat. The copies have horsehair and dont look anything like real human scalp locks. I heard the last guy supplying them went out of buisness quite a few years ago-guy name of Gein out of Wisconsin.

50 It varied tremendously over time and place, tribe etc how much beads were worth in trade.

^^^^^ On their way as soon as I can get to the post office. You will notice one strand of micro white hearts they could well be the oldest beads in the bunch possibly 1700s. Are they the ones with the green translucent centers and the brick red exterior?
