Montagne Noire - 1874 Enlisted U.S. Army Cavalry soldier uniforms for garrison & campaign wear

This U.S. Army Cavalry uniform is based upon the actual M1872 and M1874 uniform pieces worn by enlisted soldiers during the "Indian Wars" of the 1870s.

Montagne Noire has designed this uniform specifically with the Deadwood 1876 sim in mind. In real life, there was a notable military presence in the Black Hills of Dakota Territory (where Deadwood is located) during the 1870s because of continued conflicts between the United States and the Indians of the northern plains.

You'll find two crates in this set: one uniform set is for garrison duty and formal events, the second crate contains garments for the "veteran campaigner."

The "clean" uniform features multiple versions of the sack coat and "pattern" shirt: you can wear the pattern shirt as an undershirt layer, with the sack coat as a shirt layer, which will allow you to wear a large overcoat or poncho for a jacket layer, creating a multi-layered look.

The pattern shirt is also available as a shirt layer, and the coat as a jacket layer. Depending on your physique, one combination make work better for you than the other -- all garment pieces are modifiable.

The "worn" uniform in the other crate is designed to resemble a uniform that has seen months of service, with dirt, mud and perhaps some dried blood on each piece. It too features multiple versions of the coat and shirt layers.

"Cavalerie" is part of MNC's Role Play Collection -- Victorian & Edwardian era garments for the adventurous Second Life resident. The expanding collection also includes uniforms for maids, butlers/manservants, nurses, saloon girls, clergy, Chinese immigrants and miners.
