Gentlemen and ladies,
I used the search option and did not find the answer to my newest query. I was wondering how appropriate it would be for a Federal soldier to wear a civilian shirt underneath a federal issue or contract shirt? I saw a picture in an issue of Civil War Times of Federal troops at Petersburg, I believe, and it appeared to me that I saw a man wearing a checked shirt underneath a domet flannel issue shirt. I also noticed this practice in the film Wicked Spring. As the weather gets cooler I want to figure out a way to keep warm at late season events without lugging more than one blanket (specifically thinking of Franklin here) and utilizing my issue shirt. If anyone knows of images or documentation of this practice please let me know. Thank you very much, I appreciate all the help that I have been previously given on other questions.
Sincerely,
Matthew Cassady
