This versatile coat saw extensive use amongst civilians and the military. Made as standard from a 12oz, unbleached white cotton canvas duck, the coat is only supplied unlined. It has a three piece body construction with one piece sleeves, fitted with two large patch pockets with flaps and five large wooden buttons. It is quite long, finishing well below the knee, it has a split rear seam from the small of the back to the bottom of the coat (to enable the coat to be worn on horse back) which is reinforced with a leather tab. Options, at no extra cost, are brown corduroy collar and pocket flaps. Our Duster is based on the one worn by Kevin Costner in the film 'Wyatt Earp'.
We recently made a large number of these for the current Pepsi commercial 'Shoot Out at the OK Corral' , they were mainly worn by the Real Madrid football team.

Uniform Detail Sack Coats
Shown here is a close up of the cuff and exterior pocket stitching of our Stock Schuykill Sack coat. You can see the twilled texture of the wool serge & the blue 'hue' of the colour being far more like original versions than the very dark blue jackets that have been sold by many Sutlers for so long. Also see the wool flannel lining, of the pocket area in this example it is grey but we also use tan wool depending upon availablility, you can see here the care and quality of the work that goes into producing even the most standard garments

CT5616 Greatcoat in Jeancloth
During 1861-1862 The Federal Army authorised the use of colours other than sky blue kersey wool for the manufacture of greatcoats, this was due to the difficulty in obtaining enough material to satisfy all of its needs. There are surviving examples of State issued greatcoats in jeanscloth and we have therefore produced a limited number of these coats to give our customers the opportunity to create a different impression next season. The coat is made to the standard infantry pattern from dark blue depot jeanscloth and is fully lined with grey wool flannel to the body and cotton calico for the sleeves. We supply this coat with 2 sets of buttons for Federal and Confederate use.
Available to fit chest sizes 44" to 52".
