Item Description
Original Items: Only One Set Available. Now this is a lovely early khaki uniform set! The brown cotton canvas fatigue uniform was similar to what was previously worn, but it now sported two lower patch pockets and a single breast pocket on the left side. In 1908 the brown canvas fatigue uniform began to be replaced with blue denim fatigue uniforms. However it would not be until 1919 that the changeover would be completed.
The uniform set is in wonderful condition and does show signs of being worn in a hot/humid climate. There is staining present on both the tunic and trousers as well as scattered small holes, but nothing too damaging. The collar insignia on the standing collar does appear to be original to the uniform and would be for the 7th Cavalry Regiment. The regiment served in the Philippines during the Philippine–American War from 1904 through 1907, with a second tour from 1911 through 1915. Here they conducted counter-insurgency operations against Filipino guerrillas in the jungles and rural areas of the islands.
A beautiful set that comes more than ready for further research and display.
