and comes with side seam pockets. Mule Ear, Dog Ear and USMC French style pockets are available as an extra cost item. Trousers should be worn quite loose.
They also have a 1" higher rise than today's blue jeans. Legs are left un-hemmed so that you can hem them the length that you want. Pewter buttons for

The M-1862 trousers were worn well into the Indian Wars. If you are purchasing them for Indian Wars NCO or Officer use, make sure to
specify the appropriate M1872 Trouser stripe.
For Army Officers: The 1858 Army Regulations called for officer's of all branches to wear Dark Blue trousers with the appropriate
branch of service colored cord welt (piping) in the out seam. Generals and Staff Officer's trousers were to be plain without any piping. The 1862 Uniform
Regulations changed the trouser color to Sky Blue for line officers (Artillery, Cavalry and Infantry) and continued the branch colored piping. Generals
and their staff officers were to continue wearing Dark Blue trousers. However, 1861 Regulations now called for Staff Officer's trousers to have a 1/8" gold
metallic piping. General's trousers continued to be plain without any piping.
