Copied from a jacket that belonged to John McDonnell of Cowen's Battery, 1st Mississippi Artillery, who wore it until his parole at Vicksburg in July 1863, this coat uniquely features blue machine-applied topstitching. Correct Ben Tart drab jean cloth matches the original fabric and real dyed indigo wool for the trim (Not random blue material that does not match to the originals). However, these jackets are 100% machine sewn for those that crave authenticity in construction, materials and fit, but don’t want to spend the extra-money for the hand-stitched details that you can’t see past 5 feet away.
