I have had a lot of folks asking me about RCB “royal blue” trousers. I recently came across this wool, which I thought looked the part. If I have some interested I can justify buying a roll. Send me a message or leave a comment if you would be interested in purchasing french blue Richmond trousers.

The swatch was photographed in the shade and sun. It is a very safe royal blue in my opinion, not too bright or electric blue and has a nice subtle mix to the color.

Thank you to all who ordered tan contract shirts! And to all those patiently waiting on 1/2 inch tin buttons for theirs. I wish I had been able to get a photo of the whole lot. Next time!

This particular Columbus Depot reproduction is a blast to make — Featuring lots of machine stitching, blue needle thread vs. mismatched brown bobbin thread, and two interior patch pockets.

Something about a red overcoat lining or red flannel shirt is extra fun to make this time of year — Seeing these garments in the field, adding a pop of color to an otherwise drab scene, always reminds me of the countless 19th century artists like Winslow Homer, Eastman Johnson and Thomas Waterman Wood.

12/21/2023

Beautiful enlisted frock out the door. I love the side profile on these. More to come soon!

11/30/2023

You asked for it! Tan flannel contract shirts are now available to order. Send us a message if you’d like to pick one up!

11/17/2023

Just finished! — Federal trousers with welted or “slash” pockets can be a neat way to change up your impression without going crazy. You will undoubtedly come across the odd pair of these while looking at photos of the original cast.

p.s. This may have been a somewhat sought after style for keeping your valuables safe. There are several examples of trousers altered to carry the pockets on the front panel like this. I also recall a letter from a soldier asking that his trousers be made with pockets on the front.
