Hot dang, Garret! I'm going out now to get me a uniform like yours. I've always heard that girls are attracted to a man in uniform, but I had no idea!

I can see why you are so 'devoted' to the Rebel cause. Almost, you persaudeth me to be a rebel (if I could attract a girl like that in gray!).
Sincerely, (and with much jealously)

I wonder, does blue and a horsey smell bring in the babes?

Yah I had the frock coat custom made by mercurysutler.com It repersents uniform that would have been commom in early 1861, to honor my louisana homeland I had them sew on Louisana State buttons.
Yah Im trying to get the lady in the picture to reenact!!!
Yall should have seen me at the dance though! I was better dressed then the whole confederate army! I will post pics when I get them!
So why couldn't he offer his lap and remain authentic by not having a canvas chair?
Missed opportunity, I would say.
But then, love is wasted on the young. It's us experienced, dirty old men who see ALL the missed opportunities of our own youth.
Sincerely,
Unionblue

Garrett, I hope you're sharing some of this creepy old f**t lusting with the hottie. She might get a kick out of it. Or better still a rush of overwhelming emo....... Nevermind.

Ummm Ole... or she might just go get a big club and start wailing. Texas girls have a tendency to do that.

It does indeed. The poor quality of history education even helps in that many Southern girls can't tell that the blue signifies Yankee. (If the issue does come up, just tell them your portraying a cavalryman fighting comanches.) A fellow in a clean full dress Union cavalry uniform presents quite a dashing figure (especially with pre-war dark blue trousers) and the blue matches my eyes so much better than gray or butternut. ;-)
Then there is also the fact that horses always seem to attract the right kind of women. It might well be the smell, but experience seems to indicate otherwise.

Since it still has the tag, maybe it can be returned ;-) 
Good color and shiney brass are key.
