USMC Officer's Full Dress Frockcoat- As described in
the 1859 USMC Regulations, all officers (except the commandant) for Full
Dress were to
wear a double breasted dark blue frockcoat with 8 large Marine buttons in
a row, equally spaced, and with a full black cotton lining and natural
cotton sleeve lining. Our coat is made using our Deluxe dark blue
16 oz wool as standard. Our 19oz field service wool can be
substituted for a cost reduction of $60.00.
The collar is dark blue and has
scarlet edge piping with two loops of 1/2" gold lace and features the open
"V" at the throat. Sleeve "slash" is dark blue
and piped in scarlet. Length of slash is sized according to the
amount of gold lace squares used for the rank of the officer. Field
Grade Officer's have four Squares, Captain's three, Lieutenant's two
Squares. Back pockets are hidden in the
folds of the skirt under pointed flaps with scarlet edge
piping. A total of 6 large Marine buttons are on the back of the
coat.
The Marine Officer Full Dress Coat is
to be worn with
the Gold Epaulettes- same as the Army used, with the correct insignia for each rank.
The
Epaulettes may be ordered
separately and either installed by yourself or us at extra charge. All
Marine Officers except the Commandant wore the Crimson Sash. Our
reproduction model 1854 US Marine buttons are supplied with this
uniform. Either the sky blue wool trousers in
winter, or the White Duck trousers in Summer would be worn with this coat. Made in the
USA!
All
coats shown here are custom made. Because custom orders are not
returnable, please go to the measurements page
and submit your measurements when you order.
