From the pattern: "Whether called shell jacket, roundabout, fatigue jacket or round coat, this jacket style was widely used from 1830 on.  Our pattern is for a 6 piece basic shell jacket as well as instruction on the various adaptation such as shoulder straps, belt loops and functional cuffs.

US regulations, Confederate regulations, state regulation, substitute standard clothing, state purchase garments, private purchase garments, homemade garments--the variety of uniforms worn by soldiers both North and South during the Civil Was is astonishing.  Adding to this the problems obtain fabric and supplies, the lack of manufacturing facilities, and the vast numbers of uniforms needed in a short period, it is no wonder the incredible difference in uniforms from Army-to-Army, state-to-state and even unit-to-unit.

The differences in construction depend upon many things, from the army of issue down to the actual uniform supplier. The pattern includes a listing of the most common variations (Union, Richmond Depots, Columbus Depot, Atlanta Depot, Charleston Depot and Alabama), some historical notes and how to adapt the basic pattern to achieve your desired result. Using this pattern you should be able to create most of the shell jackets worn during the era."
