🇺🇸Army of the United States🇺🇸: A military lookbook
PART I
The evolution of U.S. Army uniforms from the Revolutionary War to the present day reflects changes in technology, tactics, and the roles of the military:
Revolutionary War (1775-1783): The Continental Army, at this time, did not have a standardized uniform. Soldiers often wore civilian clothing, and the most common item was the blue or brown coat, with a distinctive cocked hat. Militiamen and volunteers wore a variety of outfits.
War of 1812 (1812-1815): The War of 1812 saw the introduction of blue wool coats, often referred to as "roundabouts" or "shell jackets," for the regular army. They were typically trimmed with gold stripes or white. Soldiers also wore the distinctive 'Shako' hat.
Civil War (1861-1865): The Civil War era marked the transition from brightly colored uniforms to the more familiar blue and gray, with distinctive kepis (caps) and frock coats for the Union and Confederate armies, respectively.
