M-1854/1855 Jackets- feature our 19 ounce field service wool and
a natural cotton lining. The mohair lace we use is the correct 3/8”
width and the finest available today. The collars feature the double
button lace trim which designate Regulars. The General Service button
with plain shield is used. Garment is machine sewn. Hand stitched
buttonholes are available. Made

Musician’s jackets now used a design of lace across the
chest area called “herringbones” which closed at the ends on both
Jackets and Frockcoats.
Historical
Information:
Complaints poured in from the field that the frockcoat
issued in 1851 was
unsuitable for enlisted men while mounted. So, in 1854, the Dragoons,
Mounted Artillery and Mounted Rifles were given (back) the waist length
jacket for Dress and Undress in a slightly modified version. The 1854 Jacket
had the shoulder tabs removed and the waistline pockets were deleted. Also, the
collar height was lowered slightly from the 1846 model.
The 1858 jackets are essentially the same as the M-1854/5
model jackets except the collar was again lowered slightly.
