Old Timey Rags

Finishing up some frock coats.

Federal Fatigue Blouse -
W&W dark blue flannel & old stock sky blue flannel for the lining. Muslin lines the sleeves. Sewn together with Indigo dyed thread.

So aggravating when my chalk breaks.

Handsewn Corporal chevrons

Collar of an enlisted frock

Working on some frock sleeves.
This one is made of Pendleton and some perfect cloth for the trim.

Original patent 1855 buckle going on this vest.

"Did he just say we got ANOTHER commanding general?" - some soldier, probably.

Broadcloth, lined with black polished cotton, it is quilted in the chest and features a pocket in the left breast.
On the chest are large Waterbury Eagle "I" buttons and on the tail are four original Staff buttons. The cuffs are non functional.
