SHELL JACKETS & SACKS

  All of our uniforms are made in house.   When you order from us you are ordering from the manufacturer.  We take great pride in our work and use only the best, most authentic material available any where at any price.  You can buy a more expensive uniform but you can't buy a better one.
  See our size chart for ordering the correct size clothing.
Use the comments section at the bottom of the size chart of the order form for special instructions or call.


WHAT IS A CUSTOM ORDER?

  We keep the largest selection of uniforms "on the rack". More than anyone else in the business. We offer a wide variety of choices in our garments, materials, colors and cuts, but we can't keep them all on the rack in every size. Because of this some of the goods offered must be considered custom orders. Richmond type 3 in gray wool is not a custom order. That's a common garment we ship everyday. A Richmond type one in a small size made from richmond gray wool is. Get the picture? If you have any questions about whether your order is or isn't a "custom order" just ask. We're always glad to assist you.

CAN I RETURN OR EXCHANGE A CUSTOM ORDER?

  If we don't make your order to your specifications of course we will fix it. But, and this is a big but, if we make a garment to your spec.'s and it does not fit properly or you said Richmond grey but you meant Cadet grey...

That's really not our fault

and we can't accept it for exchange or refund. We will adjust the garment if possible but there may be a fee.

  The moral of this story is measure carefully and be sure of what your asking for. Once again if you have questions we are always happy to assist.

RICHMOND DEPOT TYPE I
SHELL JACKET





  The Richmond Depot Type 1 is a beautiful jacket. This is the coat that the Confederate Dept. of War invisioned for the whole of the Confederate army. Alas - that was not to be. This jacket has epaulettes and belt loops piped with your branch of service color as is the top and bottom of the collar. 9 button front with matching brass buttons on the epaulettes and belt loops. With an inverted V on the cuffs. Fully lined with one interior pocket over the left breast. I can only imagine what a company of men on parade, all dressed in their matching Richmond T-1s would look like. The very epitome of martial prowess I'm sure.

  This jacket would be seen early war Army of Virginia or in some state militia units. There are no known surviving type I jackets, only one identified tailor made coat that is thought to be a copied from the Richmond depot type I. Photographic evidence suggests that Richmond depot type I's were made as early as Feb. 1862. Our Richmond type I jacket has a 6 piece body with 2 piece sleeves. It has a 9 button front with hand stitched button holes and the appropriate confederate block button sewn on, I's, A's or C's. It has straight cuffs with no buttons. It has epaulettes and belt loops that button down and are piped in which ever branch of service color you desire. Arillery Red, Infantry blue or Cavalry yellow.

RICHMOND TYPE 2 JEAN JACKET


  Our latest addition to the BLOCKADE RUNNER line is this great looking RICHMOND TYPE II jacket. Made from Kersey woven jean wool. Dyed deep indigo blue. It really is a great looking shell jacket. Shoulder epaulette and belt loops. It has a 9 button front, muslin lined with one patch pocket over the left breast. The pocket is hand stitched. The sleeves are hand set and stitched. All top stitching and button holes are done by hand with 100% cotton thread.

  Now for those who would question the use of blue for Confederates let me remind you that in the book "This Terrible Sound" they give much credit to the South Carolina boys for breaking the Union line. Reason being that they were all dressed in BLUE uniforms and the Union boys held their fire thinking that the SC Inf. were Union boys. They held their fire until it was too late, the Union lines were overun and broken. The begining of the end, at least for that day.

ONE CUSTOMERS COMMENTS

 
  I just wanted to say thank you for making reenacting affordable for those of us who have limited funds and who want to present an accurate impression of Civil War camp life. If it were not for the affordable prices and high quality the Blockade Runner offers I would not be able to participate in this most rewarding hobby.
