Re: MtMan-List: rubber ponchos

Allen,

Is it kosher to use my Civil War period rubber poncho with its grommets for
1830s-40s fur trade era, or do grommets come in a bit later?  Is there any
good information on how rubber ponchos were made during the rendezvous
period, specifically, how the headhole was cut and configured?
