  • Texas and Louisiana Depot Jackets

    Just came across the following link and do not remember seeing it ever posted on the forum. Of course I could have missed it.

    Jim,
    Thanks for sharing some great information. The fact that the CS central government was manufacturing and supplying clothing to assylums and govt. workers is very intriguing. I wonder how many articles of original clothing tagged as CS military issue were actually issued to some of these other groups and institutions.

      This is one of a number of articles I gathered together for the Corinth event in 2005. See all the info here: http://www.nsalliance.org/uniforms/csuniforms.htm

      KC is a member of the Lazy Jacks from the UK, and this is typical scholarship from one of the very best units in the hobby, if not the best. He updates this from time to time as more info becomes available.
