🪖 Continental Army Military Coat – Revolutionary War Reproduction with Red Facings & White Tails

Inspired by the uniforms worn during the American Revolution, this Continental Army Coat is a historically accurate reproduction of the outerwear issued to artillery officers and regiments from Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. Featuring a dark navy blue body, striking red facings, and white tails, this coat reflects the Continental Army’s distinct regional uniform system devised by General George Washington in 1779.

📜 Historical Significance:
In 1779, General Washington developed a standardized uniform plan to unify the Continental Army following the alliance with France. Troops were grouped into Corps by region, with each area assigned a unique coat variation—yet all shared one key feature: the blue outer coat.

For artillery units and several mid-Atlantic regiments, this meant navy coats with red facings and white tails.
Uniform colors were not only symbolic—they were practical. In the haze of smoke-filled battlefields, distinct colors allowed commanders to identify friend from foe and maintain control amidst the chaos. Blue signaled the Continental Army, while red marked British troops, creating visual order in the fog of war.

đź§µ Product Features:
• Dark navy gabardine coat with red facings and white tails—reflecting 18th-century Continental Army uniform standards.
• Historically inspired design suitable for reenactments, theater, educational programs, or patriotic events.

Reviews

Great product. Solid anticipated fit and quality.


Excellent workmanship in this jacket. It for me waws wrong size and no hassle in exchanging for correct fit.



Great Item, well made! Fits Well.


Seems to be decently well made. Synthetic fabric is soft and less "Coat-like", but not surprised given the price point. Will know more, once it gets some wear. LOTS of buttons!
