US Enlisted Frockcoat: The trimmed enlisted Civil War uniform frockcoat was the regulation dress for Infantry, Heavy Artillery, Engineers, Hospital Stewards and Ordnance Dept during the war. The most famous of these was probably the Iron Brigade. It looks especially grand with the addition of the brass shoulder scales. Ours is made using our quality 19 ounce dark blue field service wool. Regulations call for the coat to reach one half the distance from the hip to the knee, however, most period photos show the coat was generally made with a somewhat longer skirt than regulation. Standard skirt length on our coat is about 3/4 of the distance from hip to knee. You may cut it shorter if you desire, as the hem is left raw per originals. The coat body is lined with natural muslin to the waist, and has an inside left breast pocket and two pockets in the folds of the skirt. Optional padding and quilting of the chest area is available, as are several alternate authentic lining materials. All frockcoats have 9 button front with sleeves having functional cuffs closing with two small buttons. US General Service Eagle buttons are supplied with the uniform but not sewn on.
