Richmond Depot Type I- Six piece body, two piece sleeves, nonbuttoning
beltloops, nonbuttoning shoulder straps, typically a nine button closure with a
button affixed through each shoulder strap. They are lined in cotton osnaburg and
have an inside pocket. Trimmed with branch of service colored tape hand sewn on
the collar, the epaulets, and in an inverted "V" pattern on the cuffs. These jackets
seem to have been produced by the Richmond Clothing Bureau primarily for the
A.N.V. These are the "early war" jackets that were produced at least as early as Feb.
1862.

Jackets, Coats and Pants Blanks
Blanks are garments put together, but with no button holes or top stitching. We will be
making runs primarily of blanks. You can order the blank and have it shipped to you or
someone else for completion, or have us complete the garment for additional costs as listed
below. You will also find a list of individuals who are interested in finishing our blanks.
Should you choose to have one of these individuals finish your garment please remember
these individuals are not a part of our company. The cost for finishing should be negotiated
between the finisher and our customer. Also please be sure that your blank fits you before
having the garment finished as we will not accept returns of blanks once they have had
finishing work done by others. Blanks are priced and offered in standard sizes. Special
orders of blanks in a long or short size will be offered at the additional cost of $10 per
garment. Remember, because the jacket has not been completed, an RDII blank can easily
become a Type I, Type III or commutation jacket.
A blank includes the assembled pieces and instructions for finishing the garment and the cost
of shipping. Buttons and thread are not included but are available for an additional charge. All
in stock coat buttons are $1.00 each with the purchase of a blank. For Pants button and buckle
packs which include all buttons needed to complete a blank and a buckle are available for
$5.00.

Richmond Depot Type II- Same as the type I, but without trim. These jackets seem to have
been in production from the Spring of 1862 to mid-1864. They are seen in photographs in use
through to the end of the war.
Shown on the right in Sumac Jean with hand top stitching.
|
Richmond Depot Type III-Same as the type II but without beltloops and shoulder straps.
These jackets seem to have been in production and use in 1864 and 1865 and are typically
made of blue-gray kersey (a.k.a. army cloth).
|
N.C. Depot- Four piece body with one piece sleeves. Lined in osnaburg with two inside
pockets. Six button front. These jackets were produced by the State of N.C. primarily for use
by N.C. troops. Also issued to other troops.
|
N.C. Sack Coat (Fatigue Blouse) - Four piece body with two piece sleeves. Extends to mid
thigh. Six button front. Trimmed with strips of colored cloth sewn flat to the shoulders of the
coat. A copy per the original with wide inside facings and extensive handwork is available as
well as a lined version that deletes the need for handwork.
|
Four Button Sack- Four piece body with two piece sleeve. Four button front. Outside
pocket. Although the source is not clear, these coats seem to be linked to the A.N.V. in the last
half of the war.
|
Columbus Depot Jacket - Jacket produced primarily for the Army of Tennessee. Variations
occur for example one existing jacket has 5 buttons while most have 6. We can make either
type I or type II in this style jacket. All the trim we use is indigo dyed (actually dyed with
indigo) not just a modern dyed color similar to the indigo color.
|
Commutation Jacket- This term encompasses any jacket worn by a soldier, but not issued to
him through the government. Some have outside pockets, some have beltloops, some have
shoulder straps. Button count varies. Various trim can be used.
