  • Any other use of Royal blue imported cloth?

    Was the imported royal blue cloth that we see used for trousers made into any other items? Kepis? Jacket trim? Jim Hensley

    Jim,
    I don't have my copy of the MOC catalog with me at the present time but I believe that there are several military vests made of CS Sky/Royal blue, all if my memory serves being from officers. One or more of these may also be shown in EOG. I am not personally aware of other examples of types of clothing made from blue English or domestically manufactured cloth but there certainly could be some.

      Attached is a photo detailing the collar of Lt. Francisco Moreno's uniform coat (Co. A, Orleans Guard Battalion LA Infantry) which appears to be cut from an enlisted-grade royal blue kersey. The cuff facings are cut from the same material.

        Brian,
        What fabric is the body of that coat? Satinette maybe?

          I would say that the body is cut from wool/cotton satinette.
