@ Earl. I've broached the reasons for the civil war at another time and place and I know from personal experience this would end badly. One should never debate politics and religion at our favorite place. I will give you that I said what I said on purpose as it's what I truly believe and was an explanation on our civil war to one of our friends on foreign shores, who might not be knowledgeable on our country's past. I will also say that reasons you gave were also part of things as well. So let's table that particular discussion for a more appropriate forum. I'd be happy to discuss it with you at any other time as I love intelligent discourse that sticks to facts and doesn't get personal.

@Rhia. I hear you loud and clear. I still bemoan the lack of such historical items. I am a fan of skimpy clothing for the gals but comfort, style and class should be just as available. (It appears that Lafemme has mostly gone the demure route) It looks like we can find European military clothing for bygone era's, roman and Egyptian clothing for M4 and even great clothing for World War 2 between the Nazi's and the Allies (Japanese military clothing missing). I think between DAZ and Rendo, every other period throughout time is covered but NOT the Civil War. It's we like just hiccuped and skipped right over it when it came to M4.

I don't mind converting clothing but there is nothing like getting clothing that is made for that particular figure and our particular software. It's use is seamless, quick and most of all, satisfying. The clothes you want for M4 is almost within reach. Long double breasted jacket with brass buttons that goes to the knee or at least mid thigh, collars, some type of tie and epaulets. Musketeer hat or just a western hat, both are available. So close yet so far away.

Tannebaum would be my first choice for such an outfit but he hasn't released anything new in a while. Perhaps Jenn or Boni could approach him. My last request, one for a luxurious mink coat and stole didn't fall on deaf ears. The coat came out...For DS ONLY at the HOME of Poser! I so enjoyed that spin kick to my teeth (Micro rant of frustration over). To both charming gals, I know it's not your fault. You two are just the ones answering the door.

rokket, I got the shower cap just fine (Thanks to this thread) is a conforming mink stole out of the question? Hope you made it to shore in good shape and they solved your Poser activation problems.
