If yourself or someone with knowldege on Confederate uniforms would be agreeable to write a small summary or description of his uniform, it might be a good idea to start a thread on Confederate uniforms.. I could add the images and someone could write the descriptions..
I think that would be a realy great thred Wilber. I am no expert by far, but it looks to me like he is wearing a Richmond Depot Jacket and Trousers. It looks to me like he is also wearing a military style vest, and rough side out Brogans. his shirt appears to be a well made flannel civilian shirt. That I am afraid is about the extent of my expertise, i will add though that the uniform looks well made and of good cloth. Also I do not believe he had been dead all that long in this photo; there does not appear to be any bloating or discoloration of his skin that I can see.
