US Shell Jacket - Rockhill & Wilson Zouave

The C&C Sutlery US Shell Rockhill & Wilson 72nd, 95th PA Zouave Shell is based off of the original pattern and is made from Navy Blue broadcloth. As per the original specifications, this jacket is trimmed with both 3/8" Red grosgrain tape and 1/8" Red soutache. Ball brass buttons adorn this jacket nicely. 

Rockhill and Wilson Clothiers was a clothing company in Philadelphia who had contract orders with the US Army. One such contract was for the 72nd and 95th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiments.  Both regiments wore Zouave uniforms; Rockhill and Wilson was one of the makers for these jackets. This jacket was cut in the Zouave style, trimmed in red tape and soutache.  A striking feature of this jacket is the sixteen 1/2" ball brass buttons sewn along the trimming, with two additional 1/2" ball brass buttons sewn onto each cuff.  Historically, the 72nd and 95th Pennsylvania Zouave jackets had a collar which was not seen on most other Zouave jackets.  This jacket is appropriate for those wishing to portray 72nd or 95th Pennsylvania Zouave impressions.
