I've read a lot of different articles in various places that discuss the relaxed uniform standards and regulations for the Union army in the western campaign of the war. I'm wondering how relaxed these standards were. We've all seen the photographs of Sherman's soldiers clad in slouch hats. I have two photographs of family members with civilian hats. I know that was a common trend, but has anyone seen or read anything to suggest that civilian trousers were ever worn? A very random question, but curiousity has gotten the better of me. All help is appreciated.
