Schuylkill Arsenal Fatigue Blouses....................$325.00 (lined)
Copied from
an original in a private collection. The blouse appears to be a
mid war issue item, and to have been worn by a sergeant. It was
definitely worn for an extended period
as evidenced by wear marks around the waist belt area. This
blouse is appropriate for most Federal impressions as the Schuylkill
Arsenal
issued goods to all theaters of war at one time or another. Our reproduction features a four piece body and two piece sleeve, and incorporates the features of the original. 70% handsewn with all machine sewing hidden to give you that proper SA look. Our blouses are lined in the body with a custom patterned wool flannel. Many original SA-made blouses exhibit pretty wild colored linings, and we have in stock a large supply of a similar lining to give the inside of your blouse an authentic look.
Unlined..............................................$340.00
Our unlined blouse
uses the same pattern and basic features as our lined blouse, but has
all interior work handfelled according to period construction techniques. Note the different
colored facings and pocket. Often the arsenal tailors would use whatever blouse flannel
remnants they had lying about for the unexposed work, and we have viewed fatigue blouses
with up to three different shades of flannel being used on various parts!
