In 1779, Gen. Washington devised a plan to take advantage of the newfound wealth the alliance with France would bring. The several volunteer regiments of the States would be grouped into Corps areas by geographic region. Each Corps area would wear a distinctive outer coat. All the coats are to be blue. Facings in White, Buff (Tan), Red, and Blue, respectively.

The colors worn on uniforms had more meaning than mere fashion that caught civilian acceptance. It tended to build pride in the company or regiment. Battlefields were often shrouded in cannon and gun smoke. Commanders could discern the uniform colors through the haze and then could order logistical changes of location by identifying friends from foes. The British Red Coat, or the Blue color used by the Continentals, would distinguish a friend from an enemy in the chaos of a battlefield.

Artillery officers would have worn this blue Continental Army Coat with Red Facings & Whitetails along with the Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland & Virginia Regiments.

Included A Navy Polyester Gaberdine Continental Army Frock Coat with contrasting Red Lapels with Whitetails and Uninstalled Detachable Gold Shank Buttons that use hitch pin clips to attach. Please note that buttons may vary from those pictured.
