This high-quality historical garment features the distinctive dark navy blue body with red facings and white tail trim that would have marked officers and soldiers of the Continental Line.
📜 Historical Background:
1779 General George Washington established a standardized uniform plan for the Continental Army. Volunteer regiments were grouped by geographic region, each Corps wearing a distinctive coat variation, but all coats were blue. Colors such as white, buff, red, and blue were used on the facings to help differentiate among units.
These colors were far more than decorative; they promoted unit pride and helped identify allies in battle through thick smoke. On the battlefield, a glimpse of a blue or red coat helped commanders distinguish friend from foe in the chaos of combat, especially critical when visibility was low due to cannon and musket fire.
