My parents were at a yard sale where one of their 80+ year old friends had died. His daughter gave us what she called "That old Confederate coat". All that she knew is that it belonged to her grandmother. The amazing thing is that it is in pristine condition, reproduction or not. It is completely handstitched, inside and out. The sleeves are lined with striped cotton. The buttons are metal and cloth covered with "ROEHM BROS." on the back of them. The sleeves at one point had crosses stitched on, but they were not there when we got it. See what you think of this. She wanted to just give it to us, but when Dad refused to take it for nothing, she offered it to us for $5!
