The Quartermaster Shop- where we spend the better part of our lives.  Well, it seems like it sometimes!  Doing historical research on original garments and sewing reproduction clothing for over 30 years, kind of gives you the idea we plan on being around for a while, doesn't it?  We'd like to add your name to the long list of satisfied QUARTERMASTER SHOP customers!  Call or e-mail us today!

To give you an idea how things work here at the QUARTERMASTER SHOP, let's take a walk thru a typical order from a nice person, such as you! At left, Linda enters an order after discussing the details with a customer. Linda has been with us for over 20 years and is one of the knowledgeable people who handle our telephone orders. If you call in, there's a good chance you will get to talk with this wonderful lady.

Your order is taken to the pattern layout and cutting department. At right, Kay (in the purple sweater) and DJ discuss a special pattern alteration requested by the customer. Kay has been with us for over 23 years and manages the production floor, along with the layout and cutting of specialized garments as seen here. She also finds time to answer the telephone with a friendly attitude. We are sure lucky to have her!

Besides the many custom "one of a kind" orders we get from individuals, we are proud to cut and sew for several well known dealers around the country. Using the large knife you see in the picture at left, Bobbi cuts 16 US Greatcoats at one time.   Quality cutting is very difficult and Bobbi, with over 14 years experience, is one of the best. In fact, careful cutting is one reason why our clothing fits so well. By laying up 60 layers of fabric, we can cut up to 60 of the same size garment at one time! This volume cutting lowers the amount of labor involved in the cutting operation. Lower labor costs equal lower uniform costs. It's that simple.  

After cutting, your order goes to one of our talented seamstresses for "rough in"- sewing the outside body and the lining. Here, Ann is sewing a Confederate Shelljacket. Ann, who has been with us for 13 years, turns out some of the beautiful greatcoats, jackets and shirts that we are known for, plus cravats and chevrons! As you might suspect, this keeps her quite busy.
