Re: Question on confederate trousers.
Hunter,
Did you try the search function here? I want to say that several years ago someone had posted some pictures or information on a couple uniforms on display in a museum maybe in Texas, New Mexico, or somewhere around there. I believe the uniforms were made of some type of cotton material. I can't remember much about it but I think there was some discussion of the use of an all cotton material for uniforms. -
