Authentic Civil War Infantry Captains Single Breasted Frock Coat
Item #: CS477
This is an original Civil War officer's frock coat that displays well. The jacket is constructed of deep blue, almost black wool material that retains all of its nine Eagle "I" buttons on the front and three at the cuff. Eight of the buttons are Horstmann/ Phila. and one is what looks like a period replacement that's WG Mintzer. The coat is constructed with distinctively tailored sleeves and then narrowing dramatically at the cuffs and tufted shoulders. On the reverse of the coat, the tail buttons are still present and it has the tail pockets inside. On the shoulder are stitched a pair of Captain shoulder straps with blue velvet centers now faded to greenish color. This is a very well-crafted coat. The top has the original collar that measures one inch tall. When the coat is opened, the crafting of the inner lining shows that this garment was finely tailored not just quickly assembled. The interior has the typical quilted green polished cotton body lining. The sleeves of the coat are correct and date it to Civil War era. This is an attractive coat that was actually used and is not just a surplus piece.
