Federal Fatigue Blouse
Please note, that our jackets are made to show the hasty nature of these garments, but they are still made to be serviceable, and to not fall apart. Period Correct....Yes.
Piece of garbage "Sutler Row"...Not on Your Life.
Our Sack Coats will Feature:
Military Warehouse General Service Buttons
Hand Sewn Buttonholes
County Cloth, Ben Tart, or Morris Clothiers Fatigue Blouse Flannel
Size Marked
Wool Lined
Muslin Lined Sleeves
Price: $150.00
Note: I am still looking for a good facsimile of a contractor stamp for this pattern. Until I find one, these coats will go unmarked as far as contractor marks are concerned.
We are currently in negotiations to examine an original all hand sewn fatigue blouse ina private collection. The coat is associates with the 51st OVI, and shall be an interesting study.
In addition, we would like to give our special thanks to Dean Knudsen and Staff at the GNMP for their continued help in our research efforts.
