An essential piece of kit for U.S. impressions, our Group Buy shelter half will be copied from an earlier "Type 2A" tent half, so you'll be getting the most versatile type of shelter half there is rather than a late war-specific version.  Additionally, this will be made from some custom made narrow width cotton drill with period selvedges woven by Family Heirloom Weavers, so you'll be getting one of the most accurate reproductions yet made.
