  • A Digital Rag - Reproductions, Sack Coats & RDIIs

    This morning a third video in a series done with Dan Wambaugh was uploaded to the Civil War Digital Digest YouTube Channel. This third video is on the much loved Federal Sack Coat.

    In the video, Dan talks about what to look for in a quality reproduction and general information on Union Sack Coats with references to one original in particular. In the episode we have a photo of that original coat. We also have three never before seen photos of Federal soldiers that have been in private collections, not digitized or on display before. As well as some from the Library of Congress.

    The other videos in the "series" include criteria to think of when evaluating reproductions and an episode on the Richmond Depot Type II jacket.

    We hope that many will find these useful to gain some knowledge while sparking a fire to improve an impression or start it off right from the beginning.

    Most important we cannot cover it all in an 8-10 minute video so we hope these can also serve as a catalyst to dig into more research on your own.

      Very cool idea and professionally done. Basic in content but approachable, which is the intent and I look forward to future editions. What a great idea.

        Thank you Craig. Subscribing to the channel you would get updates via email of new content. Not all of it is being posted here. We filmed seven episodes this weekend. Topics covering gear, rations and some civilian topics. No shortage of material and ideas just time. We wish we could release weekly but we know actual careers would prevent that from regularly happening. Bi-weekly is working well.

        Please feel free to share the CWDD. There is Facebook page as well which gets notifications of new content.
