The shape of the pocket is either teardrop or circular. The cuffs are split and again rounded and re generally faced. A lined federal sack coat is appropriate but generally too hot to be practical. Seams on sack coats, as on most of the other material, are flat-felled. Frock coats are made of broadcloth.
Infantry has light blue piping.
Frock coats stitching would be done almost exclusively by hand. There is also a welt on the top of the collar which was hand-stitched. The lining is black polished cloth and is usually padded horizontal stitching through the padding. The skirts are generally not lined. There is generally a triangular piece on the back of the skirt.
