I was going to post this information on the Ohio Jacket thread but I decided to place it here since most of the information doesnt directly pertain to the jacket. Years ago while researching a particular regiment I wanted to know what clothing had been issued to the regiment in 1861. I copied pages of different quartermaster logs (OHS) on clothing that was issued or manufactured during the early months of the war. Through trial and error I discovered that the information was of little use. However, I was still interested since I wanted to know what clothing had been issued through the early months of the war. In some instances records of clothing coming and going were meticulously recorded in the logs. For example:
If someone wanted to know about the jackets issued to the 15th Ohio Regiment one would only have to look at the logs to see which contractors made the grey jackets. The following contractors were:
Styx Krouse & Co
A. and J. Wolf & Co
Mack and Bro
Jones Bro & Co
But, one can take it a step further and determine how many jackets were supplied by each contractor even the box number. For example:
Styx Krouse & Co 380 grey jackets
Box No 3 100 Jackets
Box No 6 72
Box No 12 100
Box No 34 108
The jackets were received at the warehouse in Columbus from June 1st through the 10th.
When the boxes left the warehouse on 10 June for Grafton, Va. they were issued as follows:
Styx Krouse & Co
Box No 3 102 Jackets
Box No 6 72
Box No 12 100
Box No 34 108
With this in mind I went through the pages which I had copied and gathered the following:

If someone wanted to know about the jackets issued to the 15th Ohio Regiment one would only have to look at the logs to see which contractors made the grey jackets. The following contractors were:
Styx Krouse & Co
A. and J. Wolf & Co
Mack and Bro
Jones Bro & Co
But, one can take it a step further and determine how many jackets were supplied by each contractor even the box number. For example:
Styx Krouse & Co 380 grey jackets
Box No 3 100 Jackets
Box No 6 72
Box No 12 100
Box No 34 108
The jackets were received at the warehouse in Columbus from June 1st through the 10th.
