    Museum of Confederacy uniform question

    I visited the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond this past weekend. There is a display of a fully outfitted soldier that includes
    blue pants that are stated to be made of cotton. I have tried to post a picture of the display without success. For those of you
    who may be familiar with the exhibit I was curious if there is a source of a close reproduction of the fabric that makes up
    the pants.

    I enjoyed my visit to the Museum and was allowed to view the battle flag of the 7th Mississippi Infantry under which I have
    family members who fought and died. Ms Wright( the collections manager) gave me more information
    about the technical aspects of these flags than I thought I would ever know.

    I would contact the Curator of the museum and ask her/him that question. There is a chance that the fabric has not been reproed yet.
