When I first started out, I bought a sutler row blouse - this year, I hand sewed a W&W SA one - both are hanging in my closet and the differences in color and overall look are astounding.

for many years I worked for what you call a "period - correct" reproduction uniform maker ... I was good at button hole work and that what I did .... 1,000s of button holes I did ... if someone sent in an order for a sack coat and their chest size was say 48 .... the sack coat was marked as a size 4 (42 inch chest) .... but made with a 48 inch chest .... so ... all you large fellows out there that are campaigners ... hate to say so ... you are not authentic ... just thought I would mention it ... take care

Most of the time frocks were turned in before the spring and summer campaigns to storage. Many Sharpshooters wrote about it is memoirs and diaries. Once the summer fighting was over and the weather got cooler they were reissued their frock coats.

Love both of my Sekela coats. One is an 'economy' blouse from about 2005, nice flat felled seems, unlined. My other, now, ,Qin one is the fully lined coat. I was so upset when I got it and the proof marks weren't on the sleeve lining. I wasn't a huge fan of the lining at first as it's not fun in 90°+ heat of Virginia, but I'm good with it now.

Jason Brown they don't really teach one to sew sadly. The instructions will tell you which parts and the seam allowances then what stitch to use. I never knew how to sew before getting my first kit back in 2013 and spent about a week working on my different stitches I would be using for the coat. Once you have everything down they are great. I hope to be doing a how to this summer on constructing a fatigue blouse to help people along. Capt Whitehall

Hey, it's 1st Sgt. here. The bed plans can be found in AJ Hammler's CW Woodworking Vol 2., I believe. Since the Cpt is skinny I made it out of 2x pine which works out great for him and it was a lot cheaper than say solid maple. Milling the wood was the most time consuming part and took me the better part of a day. Lots of feeding the power planer.

Yes they were. Fatigue blouses if I remember without digging through my books were issued to troop from either 1855 or 1858 from the large arsenals and depots before the war. During the war many contractors were around to take up the need for the coat, especially as the war went on as soldiers preferred the blouse over the dress (frock) coat.

Not specifically. Most if not all mainstream fatigue blouses are dyed with a navy blue dye and eventually turn to a near purple color. The more authentic indigo ones stay close to the color of dye and just get lighter in color but not by much.

In the very rare if not impossible case that the USSS were carrying both coats the fatigue blouse would have been used. However, Sharpshooters were more in the business of scouting and skirmishing with the enemy. Engineers would have been the ones for bridge building.
