M1864 US Army Veteran's Reserve Corps
(VRC) Jacket- Early in the War, the Government realized it had a sizeable amount of men that
because of wounds or other infirmities were unfit for combat service. Initially called the
Invalid Corps, many men who had recovered from their wounds served out their
enlistments doing less strenuous work for the Army in the Veteran's Reserve
Corps. In many cases, this would be guarding prisoners, clerical duties,
etc.
Jackets
in Sky Blue wool with dark blue lace were issued to enlisted men. Our jacket is
natural cotton lined and includes the
buttons, but not sewn on. Order
the standard sky blue Trousers with appropriate
rank trim if needed.
When re-assigned to the VRC, a soldier would keep
the same rank he had when serving with his combat arms unit.
Made in the USA!
