Columbus depot shell and trousers

[HG blacksmith]

I've got a Columbus depot type 2 (I believe....been a while since I studied these things,) shell jacket and trousers.

These are jean cloth!

The jacket has five of the six buttons; all wooden. The button holes other visible stitching is hand sewn. The jacket is lined and the lining is all in tact. There are two interior pockets sewn in. It has infantry blue trim on the collar and the cuffs. The blue is only slightly faded! All in all it is a good coat with a lot of life left. I'm easy on my equipment so it isn't ripped up or stained.
It had two sizes on it when I bought it, "44" and "42." So I'm not positive on the size. I'm about 5' 6" tall and weigh 125 pounds and the coat fits me but isn't too big at all. So it is a small jacket.

This Jacket runs $124 new, plus shipping from the sutler I bought it from!
I'd like $70.00

One more picture of the coat. This one is of the interior pocket!



Ok the trousers!

The trousers are matching jean wool. All of the buttons are there and sewn on very well. No rips anywhere. These trousers are NOT lined so you better plan on wearing something under them! I do blacksmith demos so there is a bit of staining on the front of the legs. Nothing to bother a reenactor though! LOL They have the big "mule ear" (I think that's what they are called,) style pockets.
I measured the waist and they are a 30. Inseam measurement is about 32."
New these things run $120.
I'd like $50.







That's all folks!
