Original era manufacture. Regulation full dress 1902 pattern coat for an officer in the Adjutant General Corps, with the rank of Brigadier General. Accompanying the coat at the time of our purchase, is a pair of general officer grade full dress trousers. The dark blue wool coat has a black velvet collar and matching cuffs, all displaying heavy gold wire embroidery directly into the backing material. There is a full color, silk embroidered AG's shield, bound with gold wire, which is also directly embroidered into the fabric on each cuff, and above the shield a single silver wire embroidered star, again directly embroidered. Full complement of 1910 pattern rimmed fire gilt eagle buttons, with provisions for slip-on epaulettes on the top of each shoulder. Full black silk body lining with a quilted design below the arm openings, white silk with silver stripes sleeve lining. There is a tailor's label from John H. Haas, named to Lt. T.A. Easton and dated 10-24-1904. Coat size is a 40 regular. The trousers are also of dark blue wool, each with a black velvet leg stripe bordered by two gold brocade panels. The stripes are sewn into the seam of the waist band. White cotton pocket lining with a Desmond's Los Angeles label, with a tailor tag stating made expressly for S.E.Howard. 35 inch waist, and 31 inch inseam, with loops and buttons for a belt or suspenders. Both garments are in very clean condition, with no moth bites that I saw, although there may be one or two lurking in the dark cloth which I may have missed. Getting old now and the eyes aren't what they used to be. Ancestry provides very little on T.A. Easton, although I did find a listing for an Adjutant with that name stationed at Fort Douglas Utah in 1904. Two other Army Transport manifests also appear, one in 1928 for the wife of Lt.Col Retired T.A. Easton, and another in the 1930's for him. Also on the wife's manifest, mention of a Harvard School in Los Angeles was noted next to her name. Harvard School was apparently a Military School back in the day. The set is in beautiful condition and well deserving of further research.
