Tophat's Sutlery...
Tophat has reenacted since 1982 and Miss Becky has been reenacting since 1994, which most likely makes us veterans of the Civil War reenacting community!
We have found that in order to keep the hobby interesting we needed to try new impressions within the hobby of reenacting, and that is how Tophat's Sutlery was born.
About ten years ago we decided to try a Sutler impression. We found that we did very well and enjoyed it so we started doing our Sutler impression several times a year. We have found that the more we set up as a Sutler, the better we seem to do.
Our hope is that other reenactors realize our actual connections to the reenacting hobby and that they choose to do business with us because of it.
So please come by our tent, stop in, and visit a while. We look forward to meeting you and "talking shop," politics, or just about anything else!
