1898 and 1899 Cotton Chain Stitch Chevrons for Khaki Blouses-
When the khaki cotton uniforms were adopted in 1898, the Army
Uniform Board adopted rank chevrons from colored facing cloth in the same type
of fabric (cotton) to insure the same rate of shrinkage, when
washed. The
standard black silk
chain stitch outlining the pattern was used. Made
in the USA!
The Army only issued Cavalry, Infantry, and Artillery branch of service
chevrons in cotton. Other branches continued to use the fatigue style wool
chevrons on cotton blouses. If you need chevrons other than listed here for a
cotton uniform, order from our wool
chevrons.
Chevrons are sold by the pair for you
to sew on your sleeves. Or, we can
sew them on your sleeves when we are making your coat for additional
charge- see each uniform page.
