Frock Coat

[snk22nd]

Hi all I have a question on the Union Frock coat length. I can not find how many inches above the knee the coat should end. If you can offer any help it would be appreciated. Thanks

Here's what the Regulations say:

1482. The uniform coat for all enlisted foot men, shall be a single breasted frock of dark blue cloth, made without plaits, with a skirt extending one-half the distance from the top of the hip to the bend of the knee;

Theoretically it would not be the same for everyone ... Perhaps that's one reason they were left unhemmed at manufacture, so they could be finished the correct length after issue?

how ar down should the sack coat be?
