Enlisted Fatigue Jacket - In
October of 1859, US Marines, placed under the command of Army Colonel Robert E. Lee,
were called to put down the insurrection of John Brown's group at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. The enlisted Marines were wearing the 1852
US Marine Fatigue Jacket shown here.
This jacket is made using our
21 ounce sky blue field service wool and has a full cotton lining.
Nine Marine button front. Two front pockets for musket caps.
Split cuff with single button closure. Shoulder straps with
buttons. Machine stitched buttonholes- hand stitched buttonholes
available as an option. Made

Rank stripes at this time for
the Marines were a single diagonal stripe of 1/2" yellow worsted lace
for Corporals and two stripes for Sergeants. The stripe was
placed on each sleeve below the elbow, with the outer points inclining
diagonally towards the elbow. See picture
