All of our uniforms are hand made in the US. The Uniforms are made in a production
environment by experienced tailors. As each order is received, it is put onto
a schedule for production on a first come first served basis. The item is
shipped as soon as it is completed. I am sorry to have to be so explicit,
however once in a while we encounter a frustrated customer that believes that
"made to order" items should ship within a day or so.
Buttons are included in the price of each garment.

Four Button US Sack Coat****
For fatigue duty, Union soldiers were issued a sackcoat. Examples
of original blouses show most Arsenal made coats were lined, (Army Regulations
called these Recruit Coats) while many commercial contract blouses
were unlined. Arsenal made blouses are typically made from 12 oz wool flannel,
while contract blouses were made to the specifications given by the Army to
the contractor at time of order. Also, Army sutlers sold commercial grade blouses
to soldiers who preferred not to take the Army issue clothing. Both blouses
are accurate reproductions for US Army soldiers.

US
Infantry Cut Off Frock Coat

off the US Infantry Frockcoat in warmer weather to make a shorter jacket.

the summer months. Not to be confused with the "roundabout", this
coat has blue infantry piping. These were seldom worn. All Infantry Shell Jackets
are Custom Order............$239.00
