Marchbanks Frock Coat - 30th Texas Cavalry

By far the most generic of Confederate garments, the untrimmed Confederate frock coat is seen from the opening months of 1861 to the trenches of Petersburg. While not an official staple of the Southern depot system, the privately acquired frocks (both through the Commutation System and direct means) were seen amongst all of the armies of the Confederacy. This example is based on one worn by a member of the 30th Texas Cavalry and represents a clearly civilian inspired design. The coat has three exterior pockets and per the original is mix matched in lining.Additional historical information can be found here.
