Known for Quality Historical Men's Military Uniforms and Civilian Clothing Reproductions- Since 1975
This uniform is copied from Lee’s original coat now located at the Maryland Historical Museum. It was presented to General Lee by Southern sympathizers from Baltimore, Maryland in 1863. The coat is a medium shade of true grey. Collar and cuffs were plain without trim color. Sleeves have a split cuff but are tube style (non-functional). Sleeve Braid was not used. The collar has three SIX pointed stars without the wreath surrounding the stars. This would typically be considered the frockcoat of a full Colonel. Maryland State seal buttons are sewn on for the front in the standard Colonel's arrangement of 7 individual buttons on each side. Our reproduction is made in the Medium Grey wool and has a Brown Polished Cotton lining with natural cotton sleeve lining. Back Pockets with flaps in the folds of the skirt. Skirt is left raw- typical in those days. Because this is an exact reproduction of one specific uniform, we can’t offer any changes from the original.
All Lee Uniforms are custom made. Correct measurements are extremely important. Because we cannot accept returns on custom clothing, please visit the measurements page and submit your measurements when you order.
