C.S. Enlisted Uniform Greatcoat |
|

Mounted,
Brown-Grey |
Over their uniforms during the winter months, Union
Soldiers were issued greatcoats. Johnny Reb usually captured his and so the majority
of Civil War Confederates wore a Union greatcoat. The information below is for the
actual Civil War Confederate greatcoat.
The Foot (Infantry) version is single breasted with a
standing collar and has an elbow length cape.
The Mounted (Cavalry and Artillery) version (pictured
at left) is double breasted with a standing collar and a cuff length cape.
Our standard quality coat is made of quality heavy weight
wool with a heavy cotton drill body lining that extends below the waist. An optional
wool body lining, for the ultimate in warmth, is available at extra cost. Confederate
greatcoats have plain sleeves and a split back seam with two piece back belts. Back belts
have two buttonholes and one button for waist adjustment. These coats have a raw bottom
skirt, as per original uniforms.
Confederate greatcoats are available in Medium Grey, Brown Grey, Richmond
Grey or Tan Butternut.
Chevrons are not included with uniforms, whether pictured or not,
but can be added for an additional charge.
