OFFICER'S Mounted TROUSERS (Civil War era)- The 1855 Regulations called for Dark Blue trousers
with the appropriate branch of service colored 1/8" piping in the
out seam- as seen at left. Generals and Staff Officers were to wear
trousers plain without any piping.
The 1862 Uniform Regulations changed
the trouser color to Sky Blue for line officers and continued the color
piping. Generals and
their staff officers were to continue wearing Dark Blue trousers.
However, Regulations state
Staff Officer's trousers were now to have a 1/8" gold metallic piping, whereas General's trousers
were to continue to be plain without any piping. Made
in USA!
All
Officers Trousers are custom made. It is extremely important you provide
