One of the most versatile and common garments worn by Confederate soldiers throughout the war, East and West, is the frock coat. These coats were made in a dizzying variety of styles, fabrics, and with a variety of options. We have chosen to recreate the style of frock coat sometimes called the "Louisiana" frock coat, but this style was made throughout the South. This style was essentially a simplified US pattern of frock coat, often with less buttons (7 or 8), closed cuffs, and cheaper materials like jean cloth and osnaburg. These coats really are the epitome of the domestic manufacturing and home-production economy that fueled the South's war effort.
