Revolutionary War Haversack by Jan Riser

Based on a haversack used by the British Infantry, c. 1750-1780. The straps were adjusted for each soldier and were worn high under the arm and above the cartridge bag. The size is 13.5" tall by 16.75" wide.

The fabric is homespun lined and the buttons are from the revolutionary war period. There is a whip stitch over the hand sewn buttonholes as reinforcement.
