Well,
I will go ahead and start a different thread on this subject, since the one that exists is about 'Chevron Placement'. I'll kick the subject off with a circa October 1861 image of a member of the 13th Illinois Volunteer infantry, wearing a New York style infantry jacket. Note the piping, shoulder tabs, exterior breast pocket, and the single belt loop (sorry, not visible in this image). Let's get some other imformation concerning Illinois State issued jackets. Image is care of the Rock Island Arsenal/J. M. Browning Museum.
