Watched and listened the whole clip enthralled.

As a dressmaker I find these uniforms fascinating. So much braiding with coloured fabric built in underneath,pockets in tail flaps etc. I hate to think how long they took to make,to potentially end up with its wearer in a remote unmarked grave.

While it doesn’t involve clothes, there’s a paragraph in Grant’s Memoirs on the burning of Jackson Mississippi that recognizes the military value of cloth mills and why they were destroyed: Sherman and I went together into a manufactory which had not ceased work on account of the battle nor for the entrance of Yankee troops. Our presence did not seem to attract the attention of either the manager or the operatives, most of whom were girls. We looked on for a while to see the tent cloth which they were making roll out of the looms, with "C. S. A." woven in each bolt. There was an immense amount of cotton, in bales, stacked outside. Finally I told Sherman I thought they had done work enough. The operatives were told they could leave and take with them what cloth they could carry. In a few minutes cotton and factory were in a blaze. Grant p 227 Movement Against Jackson W.S.

True "Vuhginyens" pronounce it as "Stant-en"... ;) Great video! Keep it up!

Thank you for taking the time to do some Confederate videos much appreciated.

I really love the clothing episodes. Its great to hear Dan share his knowledge, I like hearing from the Krausz brothers too.

I just found this series of videos this morning. I have spent all day watching the series. Most excellent, informative, interesting. Exceptionally well done. Thank you.

Kudos to Dan & Brian for still keeping to their word of not reproducing the jacket even after the collector passed away.

I got to go into the collections of the American Civil War Museum last summer during a teacher institute they offered.

Did I miss what buttons are on this jacket? I love hearing the personal details of this specific jacket thinking of it being made so carefully by a loved one.

Love the material culture!!!

Could you guys make more clothing videos ?

Awesome resource! Thank you for sharing!

I live 10 minutes away from the museum if i can reach out to them I can try and help the Cwdd out
