No, We Do Not Use Period Paint Recipes   YES!  We use a latex base coating on all our knapsacks and haversacks. Missouri Boot  & Shoe Company made a conscious decision not to use period paint due to fire and health hazards both to our ourselves and to our customers.  Please let us tell you about the Hazards of Period Paint by clicking on the can label at right.
