"How To" Create and Train Your Color Guard Unit
Tips
For
Guardsman
The National Park Service prohibits anyone from firing a musket in polyester or
other synthetic clothing. For musket firing Honor Guards, we suggest
that purchase of a Hunting Shirt. The shirt will serve as a suitable
and authentic outer garment to your uniform and comply with the federal requirement.
Hunting shirts can be obtained from most of our uniform suppliers. The
Dixie Gun Works sells a hunting shirt for around $65. The hunting shirt
is white, but can be dyed. However, the white color is quite impressive.
