Carolina or the 3rd New Hampshire. Please consider this when you are looking to buy your uniform or purchasing another uniform
to wear. It is always a good thing to have multiple uniforms or combinations of uniforms to wear at reenactments, living history
or other American Civil War events. It is not required for you go out and buy these uniforms, but you are encouraged too.
The 22nd SC and 3rd NH should have the look of an authentic unit when out on the field, in camp or on the march.

time, take your time and find the best uniforms for the best prices...shop around.
