#3320D M-1833
to 1850
Jacket used by
Dragoons (and Mounted Rifles) during the Mexican War
was the model adopted in 1833. Dragoons were the mounted service before
1846 when a new branch of service- the Mounted Rifles were authorized.
Both branches were re-designated “Cavalry” in 1861. Mounted Rifles
wore this same jacket until the uniform change in 1851. Dragoons
receive the Eagle "D" buttons, Rifles receive the Eagle with plain
shield.
Our jacket is made using the
dark blue 19 ounce field service wool and is natural cotton lined. The 3/8”
yellow worsted lace is applied to the jacket in the appropriate places. Collar is 2-5/8” high.
The
entire front of the collar closes fully. The
back features two bolsters to hold up the waist belt. Two waistline
pockets and Shoulder Straps are faithfully copied to insure accuracy.
Twelve small buttons on the front,
two on the functional cuffs, two on each side of the collar and a single
button on the shoulder straps. Buttons are supplied, but left loose for
you to sew on. Made in
USA!
