Does anyone know whare I can find some detailed photos of orginial Confederate mounted trouser? I need to make a pair of Confederate mounted trousers and I need to get a close look at the way the seat was put on to them. The only orginial mounted trousers that I can find photos of are Federal.

Mark, what can you infer about the relative war time prevalence of those trousers given your inability to find surviving examples?

I've seen pictures of what were described as British-made Confederate mounted trousers, but I believe they were described this way only because they had a piece of canton flannel sewn into the crotch. However, I've seen that particular construction on several pairs of British trousers, including those made for foot regiments, so I don't think it's a "mounted" pattern at all, really. I can send pictures of a pair of Brit trousers in my collection.

Cheers,

Mike
