Confederate soldiers may occasionally be
seen in some period photographs wearing a single breasted frockcoat. Research indicates that most, if not all, enlisted frockcoats were
custom made for a soldier, probably at home. Some appear to have
been without any trim, while others had branch of service trim colors on the collar and
cuffs. Our coat is made with the collar and cuff trim colors unless specified otherwise.
Our enlisted frockcoat features as standard
our 19 ounce field service wool and has a natural muslin upper body lining (lined to the
waist). It is available in a 6, 7, 8 or 9 button front.
The coat has two large buttons on the back at the waistline and the cuffs have 2 small
buttons. An inside left breast pocket is standard, as are pockets in the folds of the skirt.
Other variations of this coat are available, please write supplying photos and
documentation for quotation.
Coat is available in Brown Grey, Medium Grey, Richmond Grey and Tan Butternut
wool; or the extra cost Cadet
Grey and Wooljean (Wooljean requires FULL LINING). All frockcoats have a raw bottom skirt
edge as per most original uniforms (except wooljean).
The Musicians trimmed enlisted frockcoat is a
reproduction of a musician's frockcoat copied from an original in the Museum
of the Confederacy. Except for the musicians trim, it is the
standard enlisted frock coat.
A Full cotton lining is available at extra cost for the all wool
frockcoats and is required on the wooljean frockcoats to prevent the skirt from raveling.
CSA buttons are supplied with the coat, but not sewn on. Other buttons available at extra
cost.
Branch Trim: Artillery - Red, Cavalry - Yellow, Infantry -
Sky Blue or French Blue, Militia - Black.
