The U.S. Civil War General Officer's Uniform Double Breasted
Shell Jacket has the front buttons spaced per regulations. It is made of dark blue wool and lined
with black cotton. The collar and cuffs are made of black velvet, as per regulations. The coat comes
with an inside left breast pocket. It has functional cuffs, with three button closure. It is identical
to the General Officer's Frockcoat except the jacket has no skirt.

(Brigadier 4 x 2) front with a total of 22 buttons or a 18 button front (Major General 3 x 3) with

The Gold or Black sleeve braid on this jacket was not regulation. However, there
are examples of original uniforms in museums that have this braid on the sleeves. Some have the braid
in black, others in gold. The pattern indicates the rank and is taken from the cloak coat sleeve
braid design.
