PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

For everyday fatigue duty, Union soldiers were commonly issued the “Sack Coat,” or blouse. Our US 4-button Sack Coat is meticulously crafted from 15 oz. navy blue wool. It features a classic roll (fold-over) collar, a comfortable muslin lining, a practical inside pocket, and a four-button front adorned with medium-sized 3/4 inch Federal Eagle buttons.

The Shell Jacket, another essential component of the civil war union uniform, is also constructed from durable 15 oz. navy blue wool and lined with muslin. It features a seven-button front with US Eagle, medium-sized buttons. The jacket is designed with straight sleeves and non-functional cuffs for historical accuracy, along with a distinguished standing collar. Choose the untrimmed version for a standard infantry look, or select artillery red trim or cavalry yellow trim to represent specialized branches.

These coats are imported to provide exceptional value without compromising on the quality expected for historical reenactments.


FOOT TROUSERS in Sky Blue or Navy Blue OR MOUNTED TROUSERS in Sky Blue

By regulation, Union enlisted trousers were Sky Blue, but Navy Blue is also available for variations within civil war union uniform portrayals.

Union Foot TrousersUnion Foot Trousers

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Our Union Trousers are expertly tailored from wool with robust cotton facings and pockets, ensuring both authenticity and durability. For mounted impressions, the MOUNTED trouser option features a reinforced seat and leg for added resilience. The button fly is thoughtfully lined with cotton for smoother buttoning and enhanced comfort. The adjustable “V” back on the waistband incorporates eyelet holes, allowing for waist adjustments with a tie. Practical features include a watch pocket and convenient side seam pockets. Pewter buttons are used for the fly and suspender attachments, reflecting period accuracy.

Sizing Note for Trousers:

These trousers are designed to be worn higher on the waist than contemporary jeans. It is crucial to remember this difference when selecting your size. We recommend ordering ONE size larger than your typical jean size. If you prefer a particularly loose fit, consider ordering TWO sizes larger than your normal jean size.

Inseam measurements are not necessary as the trousers are provided unhemmed. This allows for customization – customers can roll them up, cut them to the desired length, or hem them for a perfect fit to complete their civil war union uniform.

These trousers are imported, providing an economical yet authentic option for reenactors.


SHIRT Options: Bleached, Unbleached, Red, Blue, or Check Pattern
