Union Infantry Frock Coat

**oscarlovel** · 03-03-2009

Bought this a while back. Is in very nice condition. Size 56 Chest, but short. Sleeve length is 20" from top of shoulder to cuff. I'm 6'4" and this coat fits me fine, but the sleeves are 5" too short and the overall length seems short as well. Federal Eagle brass buttons. One is missing on one cuff, I seem to remember. Asking $99 + Shipping, OBO. Pictures available upon request.

Oscar, I'd love to have a picture of you wearing that coat with it's sleeves that are 5 feet too short!

5" is 5 inches.....
at least he can reach for his revolver without the sleeve gettin in the way!

Don't know the maker. Was bought on an Ebay auction. Seller was from the Northern part of the country and said his Chaplain wore it in their reenactment group. Send me an email address and I'll get some pictures headed your way.
