Great video! One thing to add, a lot of reenactors struggle with a desire to adapt modern style sensibilities to their impression. Instead of trying to look like a Civil War soldier actually did. I like that this gentleman’s sleeves are too short. It actually adds to a more authentic impression. Instead of having everything tailor fit.

Good video again. The joke that federal uniforms only had two sizes- too small or too big- ran through the war. Enlisted men couldn't do much but cope. Many officers who could afford it paid for tailored uniforms.

That quote at 2:28 would make a lot more sense if it read "I have almost vowed never to wear anything BUT the dirty private's uniform..." instead of "by" the dirty private's uniform.

That was extremely interesting. I can see why those intelligent Maine officers dressed as much like the enlisted men as possible. Only makes sense - and always pays off when it counts - in battle.

Crazy how measurements change over time, I'm a tall thin guy and back then would've probably worn a #1, but had a custom leather A-1 made and it's a size 42. I guess it all depends on who's measuring stick you use.

Good video. I thought you were going to say that the army issued uniforms in only two sizes, too small and too big. You hinted at it though.

What is life without an occasional coincidence. Spoke to a man yesterday wearing a Carhartt (two T's) hat which simply read Carhartt 1889. Since I thought it read 1839 I googled it. This morning I watched this video. The founder of the company is listed as Hamilton Carhartt in Dearborn, Michigan and of course the year was 1889. It also stated the family still owns and runs the business.

Hmm from the look of it an extra belt around the waist could make an improvement. Its a very practical design. I think millions of Chinese wear something similar.

How common was hat brass?
@11thovc
@11thovc 4 жыл бұрын
As always, it depends on which unit and what point in the war. Even officer's "pet peeves" affected this. The easiest source would be to try and find photos of the unit in question and look at their uniform. Sometimes you can get lucky and uniform issue books indicate when hat brass was given out. Not quite the answer you were probably looking for, but it might help if you had a specific unit in mind.

@@gladiatordude3723, you mean the term "Union Suits". If I said that in the video, it was just a modern descriptor. But to answer your questions more directly; no, it is not a period term for the garments covered in this video.

interesting video, but those look like scruffy uniforms. If we think that at that time in the rest of the world there were very nice uniforms, these look like work clothes for peasants.
