U.S. Enlisted and NCOs Sack Coat (Union) |
|
 |
For fatigue duty, Civil War Union soldiers were issued a fatigue
blouse, referred to as a Sack Coat or Sackcoat. Most sack coats were unlined, however regulations
do call for a "Recruit Coat" to be lined. Judging from available records, the lined sack
coat appears to have been quite rare. The unlined Sack Coat has a roll type collar and a kidney
shaped left inside breast pocket. The lined Sack Coat also has a roll collar and an inside horizontal
inside left breast pocket. Standard length is about halfway between the hip and knee. It has four (4)
medium sized Union Eagle buttons and split cuffs.
Government Issue Arsenal Blouse - Our Arsenal
Blouse is made using a 12 oz dark blue wool flannel with a slight twill
weave and comes standard with cotton lining.
US Fatigue Blouse (Sackcoat) - This is a
quality commercial grade unlined blouse made from our 19 ounce dark blue
field service wool or 14 oz wool flannel. The 19 oz blouse is quite
substantial and should last several hard campaign seasons.
Choose either Lined or Unlined. Chevrons and Service Stripes are not
included with uniforms, whether pictured or not, but can be added for an additional charge.
