Commutation Frock Coat - Untrimmed

By far the most generic of Confederate garments, the untrimmed Confederate frock coat is seen from the opening months of 1861 to the trenches of Petersburg. While not an official staple of the Southern depot system, the privately acquired frocks (both through the Commutation System and direct means) were seen amongst all of the armies of the Confederacy. This example is based on a surviving frock coat associated with North Carolina, but the style is common amongst all Southern forces. The coat has one interior chest pocket and is lined in a mix of osanburg and plaid cotton.
