Detailed Description:
This is the regulation uniform of enlisted men who served in the Federal Armies during the American Civil War. This would be appropriate for the ranks of Private, Corporal, and Sergeant. This would be worn in most activities, including daily service and battle. This is perfectly acceptable at most RP Second Life activities.
Unlike the strict regulations set forth amongst today's military, uniforms during this period were widely varied. Of the combatants, Federal uniforms were much more standardized than Confederate uniforms, although there was still a great deal of variety depending upon the type of unit, the state they came from, or the whim of the commanding officer. Units such as zouaves, cavalry, Berdan's Sharpshooters, and other specialized units are examples of this variety. We have selected the most commonly used uniform in the Federal armies and allowed it to be modifiable if you wish.
Forage Cap: (Attaches to head) This beautiful cover is fully primed and shaped per historical standards. Accurately shows the band, buttons and brim. It can be modified or personalized as the owner wishes.
Sack Coat: This 4 button front long coat was standard issue in most units and worn at most functions (always wear with shirt). There are 7 versions denoting rank and branch of service. The stripes indicate rank as follows: No chevrons: Private; Two chevrons: Corporal; Three chevrons: Sergeant. The color of the strips indicate branch of service: Blue: Infantry; Gold: Cavalry; Red: Artillary.
Shirt: This 3-button front shirt with gusseted sleeves is worn under the sack coat. It is baggy and loose as per the style of the period. Shown with braces (suspenders).
Trousers: These trousers are Regulation 1862 sky blue. Per period, they are loose and sit high on the waist and include the split back and all buttons.
