Image: Chaplain Frock Coat

Description: Photo of 1861 frock coat with graphic enhancement of 1864 frock coat that included braid. Background info from website: Per the 1861 US Army Regulations, a single breasted Officer's frockcoat made in 19 ounce BLACK WOOL and having a black cotton lining. By US Regulations the buttons are covered with black cloth also. According to US Regulations, Chaplains did not wear shoulder boards during this period. In 1864, the Army Uniform Board enhanced the Chaplain's Frock coat with the addition of "herringbone" braid in black across the chest at the buttons and buttonholes. Note that the buttons are still black. This coat was used by Army Chaplains until 1880.
