Folks,
I am interested in determining the locations of examples of CS trousers attributed to have been produced through the Richmond Clothing Bureau that are in the collections of public museums, historic societies, and other publicly accessable collections. I am familiar with two pairs in the MOC collections (Brooke and Redwood examples), a single pair in the Maryland Historical Sopciety, and a pair (at least ) in the Smithsonian collection. Where are there others?
Accepting the generally held perspective that these were basically a common civilian style and pattern but there are (or must be ) some characteristics that allow attributation to Richmond Clothing Bureau manufacture. I am interested in finding out where there are other examples that support such attributation. Examples in private collections are problematic because there is little opportunity to examine and, therefore, vet them to be actual original examples of Richmond manufacture.
Thanks for any information or leads.
