natural cotton. An inside left breast pocket is standard. Sleeves are

Per Conf Army Uniform Regulations, the only rank of General adopted in 1860 was
Brigadier General. The front button arrangement was 16 buttons placed in four
sets of two. A year later, when the ranks of Major General, Lieut
Gen'l and full Gen'l were added, no changes were made to the Regulation
button pattern to reflect the new ranks. Consequently, some Generals
above the rank of Brigadier ordered uniforms with a 3 by 3 pattern as used
by the "Old Army"- (the US Army) to reflect the higher rank.

arrangement at time of order.
