Federal Issue Domet Flannel Shirt

$169.00
(8 reviews) Write a Review

This is the standard shirt of the Federal soldier in the Civil War.  Every soldier most likely would have been issued one of these shirts at sometime during his time in service.  The soldiers sometimes called these shirts "insufferable hair shirts" because of the coarseness of the sometimes lacking quality of cloth some of these shirts were made from.  Our shirts are completely hand sewn, yes, COMPLETELY hand sewn.  Our shirts are made from custom woven wool/cotton domet flannel cloth that is not scratchy or rough, and are quite comfortable.  

 

Today in the hobby these shirts are lacking among Federal army living historians.  You will love your shirt that is authentic in every detail, from start, to finish!

    Federal Issue Domet Flannel Shirt

    Posted by Matthew L. Nowlin on 21st Jun 2024

    Excellent federal issue shirt. This shirt is very well constructed. As advertised, the material is much less "scratchy" than other reproduction federal issue shirts being sold. I wore this shirt all weekend at Port Hudson, La. in June, and would wear this shirt again. The only negative I can say, and it's really just a note for prospective purchasers, is that the next is a little tight, but can be resolved by moving the button closer to the edge of teh collar by a 1/4 inch. Even with the neck size issue, I plan on buying another shirt.

    Something Flannel Shirt

    Posted by Troy on 9th Apr 2021

    I had been looking for a quality, hand-stitched shirt for events and presentations... I found it here! I was concerned about fit, but a friendly conversation with the owner and ordered as soon as I got off of the phone. The shirt arrived on time and the fit was exact. These are great folks to work with; I appreciate when people will take time to talk about their products and are willing to ask questions so you end up with exactly what you need. Ordering more from them soon!

    Loved the way this shirt looks. looks straight out of echoes of Glory. Neck is a little tight for me, but other than that great item. Something every Federal Reenactor should have
