Re: Civil War Digital Digest - Federal Fatigue Blouse

I have owned six original Federal issue fatigue blouses to date, three of which were ID'd, and I agree with everything mentioned in the episode. I will add that indigo dye not only shows no purple, but often displays a subtle green undertone, especially after the uniform has been worn in the sun for a few days.
