#5149 M-1851 to 1871 US Army Sky
Blue FOOT GREATCOAT- In
1851, the Army changed the color of Enlisted Greatcoats to a light blue
color called Sky Blue and added turn down cuffs. A single breasted
model with a standing collar and elbow length cape was issued to men who
were not mounted- called Foot Soldiers. This would be the branches of
Infantry, Hospital Stewards, Ordnance and Engineers. Cape is unlined.
Our coat is made of quality heavy weight wool with a heavy natural cotton
twill
body lining that extends below the waist. An optional wool body lining,
for the ultimate in warmth, is available at extra cost. Back has two
belts with button for adjustment and a split back seam. All styles have
raw bottom skirt edges, as per originals.
