These waist length jackets were worn by many Civil War Union Cavalry and Artillery units throughout the war and by Dragoon and Mounted Rifle
units early in the American Civil War. Several Infantry units and some state militia wore untrimmed versions of this uniform jacket, commonly called a Roundabout.
The infantry version was created in the field by cutting the skirt off the US Infantry frockcoat in warmer weather to make a shorter jacket. Although not
regulation, this was considerably more comfortable to wear during the summer months. Our shell jackets and roundabouts are made from a good grade of dark blue
wool and the standard lining for enlisted men is natural muslin. Optional chest padding and special lining materials are available at extra cost.
This REPRODUCTION Clothing item is Made in the USA. This a quality reproduction item made as close as is modernly possible. Sewing is done by machine to keep costs down (except where hand sewing is required) and most do not show externally. Some items offer hand sewing on exposed stitching (such as buttonholes) for an additional cost.

U.S. Enlisted and NCO Trimmed Shell Jacket (QM-0601)
U.S. M1864 NCO VRC (Veteran Reserve Corps) Shell Jacket
Enlisted & NCO
Item Last Updated: Friday, 15-Mar-2024 13:46:21 MST
/td>
Shell Jacket, M1864 Veterans Reserve Corps: Early in the War, the Government realized it had a sizeable amount of men that
because of wounds or other infirmities were unfit for combat service. Initially called the Invalid Corps, many men who had recovered from their wounds
served out their enlistments doing less strenuous work for the Army in the Veteran's Reserve Corps. In many cases, this would be guarding prisoners,
clerical duties, etc. Jackets in Sky Blue wool with dark blue lace were issued to enlisted men. Our jacket is natural cotton lined and includes the
buttons, but not sewn on. Order the standard sky blue Trousers with appropriate rank trim if needed. When re-assigned to the VRC, a soldier would keep
the same rank he had when serving with his combat arms unit.
