Product Details

Original Items: Only One Set Available. U.S. Army Issue Pattern 1887 Fatigue Blouse (AKA “Sack Coat”). Standard Issue to every U.S. Army Soldier during the late Indian Wars and Spanish-American War, up through the transition to the Model 1902 Coat which was the 1887’s Successor. These were intended to be a loose-fitting garment for wear in the field, as opposed to a tailored parade uniform, these were utilitarian by design.

Five-Button Front, each button is of the Indian Wars “Chicken Head” pattern button, each marked Horstman. The internal lining is still completely attached and is constructed of lovely black satin. The cuffs both bear colored stripes denoting 10 years of service in the Army. There is a pinned paper tag on the interior that has the name Charles Livingston written on it, making for a wonderful research opportunity. The included blue wool trousers are in wonderful condition.

One of the longest worn uniforms in U.S. Army History was the Fatigue Blouse, or Sack Coat. Having been worn from the 1850s up unto 1902 in one form or another. The Dark Blue Fatigue Blouse is synonymous with the image of the typical U.S. Army soldier of the 19th Century.

Also included with the uniform is an equally attractive M1895 enlisted forage cap. This was the U.S. Army's first transition to a visor cap after leaving the traditional kepi design. Made of dark blue wool with enameled leather visor bound with patent leather, and a tarred leather chinstrap which is partially broken. Hat retains the original russet brown leather sweatband which is still solid but does have some loose stitching. Inside the crown is lined with black cotton and marked with JOHN J. COSTINETT MILITARY & SOCIETY GOODS.

Other items include:

100 Round Krag Rifle Ammunition Belt
M1904 Army Haversack
Field Shoes With WWI Era Leg Gaitors

All items show their age but are presented without any extensive damage. This is an excellent grouping, perfect for the Spanish American War and post war collector. Comes more than ready for further research and display.
