In addition to the distinctive State jacket issued by New York, many of the Militia Regiments adopted fancier uniforms than that issued. The 14th NYSM was raised from men raised almost exclusively from Brooklyn New York. The chasseur style jacket shown at left was adopted by this unit.
The Dark Blue wool jacket is flat lined with natural cotton and has a double row of 14 small ball buttons down either side of the front. An integral "false" vest of red wool actually closes the jacket front. Inside of the collar is leather lined. Inside pocket. Burlap lines the flase waist "belt". Red inverted "V" trim on the sleeves. Back and sleeves have the small red slash with small ball buttons. See picture enlargement. Completely machine sewn.
