Description

The Continental Marine Corps were Infantrymen who served on Naval vessels and under the command of the ship's captain. Their multipurpose mission was to provide shipboard security, act as sharpshooters in the ship's rigging during ship-to-ship engagements, and conduct amphibious landings and raids to capture vessels, weapons, munitions, and other naval stores. In 1776, their uniform was established by the Continental Congress; green with white facings and silvery buttons and officer epaulets in line with Infantry colors. In 1779, the facings were changed to Red. A particularly notable part of the uniform was a thick leather stock worn around the neck. It was to protect the Marines from cutlass wounds to the neck and to keep them standing tall. This was the origin of the endearing nickname for Marines, "Leathernecks."

Included A Green Polyester Gabardine Continental Marine Corps Uniform Jacket with contrasting Red Lapels and Uninstalled Detachable Silver Shank Buttons that use hitch pin clips to attach. Please note that buttons may vary from those pictured.

 What size should I order?

"Selecting the right size is crucial when ordering our garments. Please refer to the size chart provided for each individual item, as it is tailored to the specific measurements of that item. You can find the size chart as a photo in the product listing or on a separate informational page. Please follow the measurement instructions provided on the size chart.

Our garments do not follow standard modern-day sizing because they are created based on patterns from specific historical periods. The measurements we provide on the size chart represent the dimensions of the garment itself, not body measurements.

 If you're unsure about your size, measure a similar, NON-STRETCH garment you already own and love. Compare its measurements to the ones on our size chart to ensure you choose the right fit."
