I doubt they are polyester most CW reenactors wear wool, jeans cloth, cotton
or linen...just like the real guys did. You might try doing a search on
uniforms or sutlers....there's a company in
Az.(http://www.ushist.com/index.html) that has a wide range of period
uniforms. You might have to have it made for you.....which some CW reenactors
do so they can get the stitch count right on the button holes etc.
