Does anyone have photos of an original SA fatigue blouse? I am currently working on a Wambaugh and White kit and have only been able to use the small front side-only photo from Echoes, which can only help me so much. I am trying to get better detail on the collar and on the front pocket, which appears to be different from other sack coats I have seen. Thanks for your help!

Re: Schuylkill Arsenal Fatigue Blouse
Greetings:
I'd suggest you find a copy of Patrick Brown's book, "For Fatigue Purposes...": The Army Sack Coat of 1857-1872, published by The Watchdog Review in 2003. It's THE compilation of information on arsenal and contractor sack coat details.
