The Color Squeeze Pouch Cap, paired with the Civil War Possibles
Bag and Percussion Caps Pouch, is a specialized set designed for
history enthusiasts, reenactors, collectors, and outdoor
adventurers. Crafted to balance historical accuracy, durability,
and practicality, this collection pays homage to 19th-century
military and civilian gear while meeting modern users’ needs for
reliability and functionality.
- Civil War-Era Design: The Possibles Bag and Percussion Caps Pouch replicate the
original 1860s military patterns—including classic flap closures,
brass hardware, and period-accurate stitching—making them ideal for
Civil War reenactments, living history events, and museum displays.
- Color-Coded Squeeze Pouch Cap: The vibrant, fade-resistant Color Squeeze Pouch Cap features a
user-friendly squeeze-to-open mechanism, allowing quick access to
small items (e.g., percussion caps, matches, or small tools) while
maintaining a vintage aesthetic.
- Premium Fabrics: All bags are constructed from 16oz waxed canvas (waterproof and
tear-resistant) or heavy-duty cotton duck—materials historically
used in 19th-century military gear, now reinforced for modern
longevity.
- Rust-Proof Hardware: Brass buckles, D-rings, and snap closures resist corrosion,
ensuring the set remains functional even in outdoor conditions
(e.g., rain, humidity, or dusty reenactment fields).
- Percussion Caps Pouch: Compact (4”x3”x1.5”) with a padded interior to protect delicate
percussion caps from damage; features a secure snap flap to prevent
spills.
- Civil War Possibles Bag: Spacious main compartment (8”x10”x4”) with multiple internal
pockets for organizing gear (e.g., rations, a knife, a fire
starter, or a small canteen); adjustable leather shoulder strap for
comfortable carrying.
- Color Squeeze Pouch Cap: Compatible with most standard pouches—simply attach it to the
Possibles Bag or a belt loop for easy access to frequently used
items.
- Multiple Color Options: The Squeeze Pouch Cap is available in 5 vintage-inspired colors
(Navy Blue, Olive Drab, Brown, Burgundy, and Gray) to match
different reenactment uniforms or personal styles.
- Personalization Ready: All bags feature blank leather patches (on the front flap) for
adding custom embossing (e.g., a reenactor’s unit name, initials,
or historical insignia).
- Historically Accurate Fabrics: We partner with mills that produce waxed canvas and cotton duck
using 19th-century weaving techniques, ensuring the texture and
weight match original Civil War gear.
- Eco-Friendly Finishes: The wax coating on canvas is made from natural beeswax and
linseed oil (no harsh chemicals), making the bags safe for outdoor
use and biodegradable over time.
- Pattern Cutting: Each bag is cut from hand-drafted patterns based on original
Civil War artifacts (sourced from museums and private collections)
to ensure precise dimensions.
- Reinforced Stitching: Double-stitched seams (using heavy-duty cotton thread) at stress
points (e.g., strap attachments, flap edges) prevent tearing—tested
to withstand 50lbs of weight.
- Hardware Installation: Brass components are hand-attached with rivets (not just glue)
for extra strength; the Color Squeeze Pouch Cap’s squeeze mechanism
is precision-machined from durable plastic (impact-resistant) and
tested for 10,000+ openings.
- Quality Control: Every set undergoes a 12-point inspection (including checking for
stitching flaws, hardware stability, and color consistency) before
shipping.
- Adjustable Straps: The Possibles Bag’s leather strap adjusts from 30” to 48”,
fitting users of all body types; padded strap edges reduce shoulder
fatigue during all-day reenactments.
- Compact Profile: The Percussion Caps Pouch is designed to fit in a pocket or
attach to a belt (via a 1.5” belt loop), avoiding bulk during
movement.
- Perfect for reenactors portraying Union or Confederate
soldiers—stores essential gear (percussion caps, a cartridge box, a
small knife) while staying true to 1860s aesthetics.
- Ideal for living history museums: Educators can use the set to
demonstrate how 19th-century soldiers organized their equipment.
- A must-have for collectors of Civil War memorabilia: Each set is
numbered (limited edition of 5,000) and comes with a certificate of
authenticity, increasing its long-term value.
- Suitable for displaying alongside other vintage gear (e.g.,
muskets, uniforms) in home or museum collections.
- The waterproof waxed canvas makes the Possibles Bag ideal for
camping, hiking, or hunting—stores snacks, a fire starter, a
compass, or a multi-tool.
- The Color Squeeze Pouch Cap’s quick-access design is perfect for
outdoor enthusiasts who need to grab small items (e.g., matches,
fishing hooks) without rummaging through a bag.
- The stylish, timeless design works for everyday use: Carry the
Possibles Bag as a crossbody bag for errands, or use the Percussion
Caps Pouch to store keys, lip balm, or a phone charger.
Founded in 2010 by Jacob Miller—a lifelong Civil War history
enthusiast and former reenactor—our brand was born from a
frustration: “Most ‘historical’ gear on the market either lacks
authenticity or falls apart after a few uses.”
Jacob spent 3 years researching original Civil War artifacts
(visiting museums like the Smithsonian’s National Museum of
American History and consulting with military historians) to draft
accurate patterns. He then partnered with a family-owned workshop
in Tennessee (specializing in traditional canvas craftsmanship) to
bring his vision to life.
Our mission? To create gear that honors the past while serving the
present. Every set we make is a tribute to the soldiers and
civilians of the Civil War era—we believe that quality historical
gear shouldn’t just look authentic; it should perform authentically, too.
Over the past 13 years, we’ve built a community of 15,000+
reenactors, collectors, and outdoor enthusiasts who trust our
products for their accuracy, durability, and attention to detail.
We’re proud to say that our bags have been used in major
reenactments (e.g., the Gettysburg Anniversary Reenactment) and
featured in historical documentaries.
A: Yes! The main compartment (8”x10”x4”) easily fits most 16oz
vintage-style canteens (a common size for Civil War reenactments).

fire starter.
A: Absolutely. The Squeeze Pouch Cap comes with a built-in 1.5”
belt loop, so you can attach it to a standard reenactment belt or

A: To clean, wipe with a damp cloth (avoid soaking, as this can
remove the wax coating). To restore water resistance, apply a thin
layer of natural beeswax (available on our website) and heat gently
with a hair dryer to seal. Do not machine wash or dry.
