Description

This type of jacket features a six piece body, two piece sleeves, our standard RDIII has the typical nine button closure with a button affixed through each shoulder strap. They are lined in cotton osnaburg and have an inside pocket.

These jackets seem to have been produced by the Richmond Clothing Bureau primarily for the A.N.V. during the later part of the war.

What is a Jacket Blank?

Blanks are garments that are completely put together, but with no button holes or top stitching. A blank is wearable when you receive it. It is not a bundle of pieces that have to be sorted out and joined together. You will know that a blank is a fit before doing a lot of work on it only to find it does not fit and cannot be returned. It is enough for many customers to put their effort in the hand finishing of the garment.

To finish a jacket blank you will need to

add buttons
Stitch the button holes
turn under and whip stitch about 6" of the lining to the jacket
top stitching if you wish

What is a Finished Jacket?

If you choose to order a finished jacket we will hand sew your button holes, sew the buttons on (if you choose to include buttons), hand stitch the lining closed at the neck and machine top stitch it (if you choose that option). The jacket will be ready to wear when you receive it. If you wish to have the buttonholes sewn for you but want to hand topstitch your jacket please choose the no top stitching option. You may also choose this option if you just prefer to have no top stitching on your jacket.
