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.

New Ordering System
We have changed the way you order our uniforms!

Our fabulous ranges of historically accurate Federal/Union Officers Uniforms are still hand made in our tailoring shop to your exact specifications BUT many customers said that the old system was a little confusing!

Hopefully this new method will be easier.

We can all see from surviving photography and original uniforms in museums that there were a great many variations worn by officers during the period. As a result we decided that it would be best to let you choose exactly what you want!

Basically you start with the jacket design, whether single or double breasted we have Shell Jackets and Frock Coats to choose from. Each style's price is clearly shown at the end of the item description; this is the price for a standard jacket with none of chargeable optional extras it does include the collar insignia and your choice of buttons.

You choose whether you want fully functioning cuffs! If you wish you can add branch of service coloured cuff and or collars, Austrian knots, branch of service coloured piping, your rank, your button choice and then finally your size!

The checkout will work out the total cost but to make it easier we have listed all the price options next to the chargeable choices.

Delivery for these uniforms is currently a minimum of 12 weeks

Also listed are all the other related products we provide for an Officer's Impression.
