We have chosen the items in this package as typical items for this image, it is not the only combination of items for the Union dress uniform image.

    Coat: Sack Coat. For fatigue duty, Civil War Union soldiers were issued a fatigue blouse, referred to as a Sack Coat or Sackcoat.

Choose either Lined or Unlined.
