For color pictures of the wool we carry please follow this link.
Due to the
great variety of officers' needs, it is best that one contact us for selection
and pricing on these items. We have sack coats, shell jackets, frock coats,
trousers, leather gear etc., available for officers. We have found that folks
are better served in this line if we work all details out together in advance.
Usually the cut and materials used in officers' garments are different than the
Enlisted man grade. For instance, wool broadcloth material for coats.

Officer items are usually made to order. We generally do not keep them in stock
so please plan ahead. Officer items are made according to individual
specification; therefore, you may not change any detail once the item is
underway. Due to the intricacy of this work you will need to allow at
least 30-45 days for delivery.
Please do not call just to check
on how things are coming along, it will usually cause a delay.
*You may not
return for refund or exchange any custom tailored item. We may be able to
alter but we will not accept as a return.
