Civil War Confederate shell jacket. Condition is listed as used but this item was never worn in the field. Six piece body with two piece sleeve. All top stitching and buttonholes are hand done.
Made from Charlie Childs excellent mixed grey kersey, english imported, wool, and lined in cotton muslim. When many years ago I had the opportunity to see the collection of the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond I was struck by the poor quality of workmanship that was exhibited some of the depot produced enlisted garments. I remember thinking that a drunken monkey could have stitched them better. These items are finished to a better standard I hope!The item "Civil War Confederate shell jacket, Richmond Depot Type II, size 40" is in sale since Monday, February 3, 2020.
