Original era manufacture. A matching private purchase coat and trousers worn by a soldier who took great pride in his appearance. Issue pattern five-button fatigue coat with original artillery chevron on each sleeve. Down the front edge of the right side of the coat is a scalloped line of red wool trim, with fancy type top stitching on the interior lining material. The coat seems to have received all of the attention from our "bug buddies", with their attentions being fairly minimal. Most of what I found is on the back of the collar, a little on the back of the left shoulder and that's about it. Being such dark material they are all hard to see. Honest wear and tear is also in evidence in the form of an open seam in the left armpit, and a two inch tear in the seam on the underside of the right cuff. The coat is about a 38 regular. All of the buttons are present, the topmost coat button is loose and is inside the pocket. Matching material trousers in a lighter shade of blue, each with a 1/2 inch red stripe down the outer seam of each seam, correct for the rank of corporal. The edges of the rear pockets are piped in red wool, with the upper edge of the waistband decorated with a scalloped edge of material, and additional band of scalloped material lining the fly. All of the fly and suspender buttons are in place, white heavy cotton waistband lining material and pocket linings. The waistband measures 34 inches, inseam 32 inches. Each cuff has a slight "bell" to the end of each, the style of the era. In conclusion, this is a wonderful original set, probably worn by a regular army career soldier, too bad it is not named.
