Outfit Judging Guide
Due to the many varied categories of Settler and Professional
Outfits (i.e. Cont. Army, 1835 Dragoons, Doctor, etc.), the judges cannot be expected to
have in their possession all the details possible for the many different Outfits in the
Settler and Professional categories. Therefore, the contestant shall be required to
furnish to the Judges, if his Outfit is different from the guidelines, documentation of
the authenticity of all items of his chosen outfit. Please keep in mind the time
period. All items that the contestant wears to be judged should be his personal
equipment.
