M-1885 FOOT TROUSERS (please
scroll down for mounted version.) In
1885 the US Army adopted a
somewhat darker shade of "sky blue" for trousers and greatcoats.
Often
called Medium Blue, it is closer to a Royal Blue in color.
They hoped this would eliminate the wide variations in color that existed
in the lighter Civil War era sky blue wool. Reports indicate that for the
most part, even dye lots of this new color varied greatly. Our Model
1885 trousers are made
from this new Medium Blue 20 ounce field service wool.
Made in the USA!
The
actual construction details are the same as the model 1884 trousers.
Foot style trousers may be worn by Cavalry troops not on horse.
