#9925-The Regulation M-1899 Khaki Field Blouse
(Cavalry version shown at left) was worn by Army Enlisted Soldiers. Several improvements were made to this blouse over the
1898 model. The body design has been changed to a 6 piece body and
the belt dropped. The standing collar has been replaced with the
popular roll collar. The back pleat has been replaced with a sewn
seam and the trim colors
were dropped except for the shoulder tabs- now made removable!
The lower pockets
have been moved closer to the front of the blouse, almost lining up with
the upper pockets. The changes to the trim color scheme allowed a
minimal amount of blouses to be made while being able to be issued to
any branch, since now the shoulder tabs could be clipped on -a sizeable
Cost Savings!! The Tab and Shoulder clips are supplied loose and
come with sewing instructions. If you would like us to hand
sew these attaching clips on, please add $30.00, and click on the
appropriate line below. The M-1883 US Eagle buttons are sewn on at
no charge. Made
in the USA!
Historical
Note:
In 1899, the
Infantry branch color was changed to White from the Sky Blue color used in
1898.
