Fulled Hlntrs
From Ilia lima o f Ilia Revolutionary
war or aoou tlmraaflar the tendency
* • ' ateadlly toward »iu.jiJI. lly, but It
waa not until aftar Ilia war with Hpaln
that khaki waa adopted and the eaally
Tlalhla blu« trunarra and alilrt dla-
card ad.
T.aUy the Amrrlran aoldlar'a uniform
la designed for comfort, serviceability,
protection from l>oth weather ami dla-
covary by the enemy—In abort, for e f
ficient aervlce Whnt aotne of the pic
turca<|iie old uiitfornia wrerr deviate! for
la moro than one call any uiileaa It was
for their p|cturea<|iienraa.
Washington's aruilea, when they Imd
uniforms, wore the familiar “ Conti-
neutala'' of hluff and hlna or gray hut
regiment! from different atntea had for
the moat part unlforma of their own.
The majority wore whatever rlotl.ee
would protect them without regard for
uniformity. One part o f the American
tmojHi who received the aurrender of
Cornwallla at Yorktown were In uni
form, but the moet o f them ft 111 wore
raga o f bomeapun.
The uniform for >ho porl.al between
1902 and tha war c f 1912 reflect» the
atyla adopt c l by European armlca for
the time. The three romered cocked hat
of the rerulutlon had t>een al.audoned,
and the officers wore rhatwain bras,
while the collated men of the Infantry
and artillery wore round leather hata
with Iwarakln errata, creating a very
plrturesqua effect.
During the-war o f 1812 arveral typea
o f uniform were wom by the American
force«. There waa little left to remind
one of tha Revolutionary war. Inatrad
of the long cutaway, cnllatrd men wore
alngle breasted, clnee buttoned coats,
with the aklrta faahloned after the ci
vilian dreaa coat of the day. Facing»
dlaaptwared, and the roll am became
enormoualy high, rlalng to the tip of
the ear. Hata were high, aome Infan
try wearing headplrree much like tboee
worn by the catimen c it the day» Juat
preceding the taxicab.
f'oata of the Infantry and artillery
were uniformly blue and were tnodiflrd
aoinewhat In ahape by an order laaned
In 191.1, the long tall* Iwlng fcniud In-
conreulcut In the field and III fighting
through wooded country and under-
brush. The word "coatee" waa coined
for the new garment, and the only
trimming constated o f tape «a the col
lar. Tha high hat waa changed to the
hell crowned leather ahako, and worat-
rd or lratber jkhii |« mus replaced feath
er».
Dlatlnctlon Iwtween dreaa and field
uniform» began to lie made about the
time of the war o f 1912. The full dreaa
roustatrd o f the huaaar jacket, and the
aklrt had a double plait In each fold.
The collar and aleevea were worked
with .illver braid. The trouaera were
white raaaliuere or huckxkln for pa-
rado and dark blue for nervier.
Knee breeches aometlmea were worn
on aortal occaalon, with yellow knee
buckle» Inatead of atrlnga, yellow buc
kle» In the ahoea and a rhn|irnu bran
Inatead of a cap. The waistcoats were
of white cloth In winter and of Jean or
nankeen In the anmmer.
When the Mexican war liegnn n dis
tinctive enuipalgn uniform waa adopt
ed. The flat, »oft forage cap came Into
prominence, and the frock coat waa
worn by officer».
Men and officer»
alike discarded eroaa licit», hut wore one
bmly belt and a walat Iwit. The artil
lery wore Jacket», which did not entire
ly disappear from the aervlce until
after tha war between the atatea.
The Influence o f the French vlctorlea
in Italy waa reflected In tha souava
dresa that waa fashionable when tha
wnr of the sixties Itegan. and the dark
blue blouse and aky blue trousers of
our own servlca of that time fixed for
years the fashion of stale troops from
one end o f the country to the other.
After that war It was some time tie-
fore the trsjiplngs which had l»een
abandoned for Held work were re
stored.
In the eighties the uniform was much
ns It was during the Hpantah-Amerlcan
wnr, except that men and officers wore
helmets much like those of the London
boldiy of today, Instead of the slouch
felt caiujmlgn hata used In Cuba. Tbe
coats were dark blue abort frock coats
and the trouaera Hght blue. Btri|**H on
the trousers denoted the branch of the
service, and In the case o f the officers
plume» on the helmets were used.
In the Spanish American war the uni
form consisted of a dark blue coat
(shorter than the frock coat), blue flan
nel alilrt and light blue trousers.
Stripes on tlm trousers denoted tha
•ervle*—white for Infantry, yellow for
enwilry and red for artillery.
It was not until after tlm Spanish
wnr that khaki and olive drab came
Into vogue, although tbe marines and
n few Infantry units tested It In the
sv. r with Spain. The light blue trous
ers nnd dark blue coats arc still worn
In garrison for semldres* uniforms,
but In the field olive drab Is tbe color.—
