Not all garments worn by the Confederate Soldier
were military issue. The clothes worn by Burton Marchbanks of the 30th
Texas Cavalry are a great example of that. We are offering a reproduction of
the paletot worn during part of his service. It is made from a plain-woven jean
cloth. The skirt is cut with the body creating a clean front like the original.
It’s lining is replicated as exacting as possible to show the piecing and lack
of symmetry in places. While we do offer three construction methods,
the original is all hand-sewn. Please take that into account when selecting
your option.
Here
are descriptions of the options available to you. If you have any questions,
