Or something else, anyway. Big ol' floppy straw hats are great for keeping the sun off. |

Details about the hats are nice and all, but I'd still like to know more about the Confederate uniforms. |

The hats are part of the uniforms. I really don't care about that sort of thing. What I would have liked to have known was the organization of the armies--"the corps of which your division is half" notwithstanding. |

I know. I'd still like to know more about the uniforms, especially the tunics. |

We know that in 1943 Confederate infantry brigades consisted of three regiments. There were dribs and drabs of other organizational data, but not enough to construct complete tables of organization for either army. We also don't know if there were any mid-war reorganizations like the Germans carried out OTL. |

Juice squeezers are the hats that many US officers wore when they went after Pancho Villa OTL. |

"especially the tunics" Tunics? Tunics are tunics. And of course we know the colors. Do you mean what sort of straps they hang on themselves, how many rows of buttons, where the pins are, how wide the lapels are, et cetera? Yes, that would have made for great reading. |

I wouldn't mind that myself, but as a some time living historian uniforms interest me. Did I ever post here the reason West Point cadets wear gray? |

Has to do with Winfield Scott, yes? Who as I recall had none too high a regard for West Point in the early days. |
