    be done to meet various customer requirements.  Jackets are available in a range from
    vegetable dyed jean with hand sewn button holes and topstiching executed in logwood
    dyed thread to jackets of naturally colored fleece with machine topstitching.

    All finished jackets come with the buttons you select sewn on.

    listed it should tell you the pieces have been cut and are ready to be sewn into a blank.  
    Kits are not for sale.   Jackets may be ordered to be made from scratch if the fabric you

    and will ship within a few days.  Finishing a kit will take 2 weeks for a machine finished
    jacket and 3 weeks for a hand finished jacket.  A made to order jacket will take from 4 to 5
    weeks to ship.  Please call or E-mail to get a delivery date for your

                                   Available  Jacket And Coat Styles
    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.  
    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.  $139 to $220
    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).    $139 to $200
    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

    available as well as a lined version that deletes the need for handwork.  $128 to $198.
    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

    to him through the government.  Some have outside pockets, some have beltloops, some
